The country has more than <strong>400 varieties of fruit<\/strong>, in addition to the ones everyone knows, such as mangoes, oranges, and coconuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>fruit juices<\/strong> are a delight to taste. Lulo, for example, is a very aromatic and delicious fruit to drink as juice, but there are other more exotic fruits, such as araz\u00e1, gulupa, maracuy\u00e1 (passion fruit), granadilla, and guanabana. Your fruit juice can be made with <strong>water<\/strong> (agua) or <strong>milk<\/strong> (leche).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to go to a large public market to taste as many as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Colombian-Food-Guanaba-Fruit-Colombia-1.jpg\" alt=\"Colombian Food Guanaba Fruit Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-92802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Colombian-Food-Guanaba-Fruit-Colombia-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Colombian-Food-Guanaba-Fruit-Colombia-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Colombian-Food-Guanaba-Fruit-Colombia-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7e03cc4e\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1eb08fe9 postItineraryBoxPicture\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ac250722\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Food-Fredonia-Antioquia.jpg\" alt=\"Fiambre food in Fredonia Antioquia - Tom\" class=\"wp-image-80725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Food-Fredonia-Antioquia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Food-Fredonia-Antioquia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Food-Fredonia-Antioquia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"postItineraryBoxPictureAuthor\">\u00a9 Tomplanmytrip<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b49a73c3 postItineraryBox\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79e44164 postItineraryBoxInfos\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading postItineraryBoxInfosName has-global-color-11-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-867862f3dc6ff5541ccbbf30295b2b26\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">the Colombians<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading postItineraryBoxInfosIntro has-global-color-14-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7c332fbe042f3aa8b5b03c42cf27e928\">Discover Colombia through its friendly people and vibrant culture!<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9657b687 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bdcfba70 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-27c0ee5c gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-27c0ee5c\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Very nice and polite people<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-2657939f\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2657939f\">\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/colombian-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"72773\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"82508\">Colombians <\/a><\/strong>are <strong>extremely welcoming<\/strong> and always ready to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get lost, a passer-by will not only help you with directions, but may even escort you to your destination.

a plane ticket to Colombia at the best price requires preparation. Prices vary depending on the season and the number of layovers. A cheap flight can cost <strong>around 600 euros<\/strong>, but this often includes two layovers and no checked baggage. During peak season, prices can reach <strong>1500 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several airlines serve Colombia from France, such as <strong>Air France<\/strong>, <strong>Iberia<\/strong>, <strong>Lufthansa<\/strong>, and <strong>Air Europa<\/strong>\u2014often with a layover in Madrid. Air France and Iberia are the fastest and most reliable. To simplify formalities, avoid flights via the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying your ticket <strong>as early as possible<\/strong> is crucial for getting a good price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>cheapest periods<\/strong> to travel to Colombia are from March to May and from September to November. Avoid <strong>peak seasons<\/strong> like December and July-August when prices soar.
