Like many Latin American countries, Colombia offers a rich hodgepodge of ethnic influences, most of which date back to the 16th century conquest by Spain. Colombia strongly reflects its history as a colony of Spain. It is often referred to as the most Roman Catholic of the South American countries, and most of its people are proud of the relative purity of their Spanish language. Dancing has been an integral aspect of Colombian cultures for centuries, and you can see numerous traditional and modern styles performed Cartagena. The country’s most popular dance style is Cumbia, which also happens to be one of the most popular music forms in all of Latin America. Bambuco is a traditional folkloric dance most popular in the country’s Andean region. Mapale is a style you’re likely to see on the streets of Cartagena, with colorfully costumed troupes of drummers.

From a young age, I was always a wanderer. I wanted to see the planet I was born on and sitting idle, be it in classroom or at work would bore me to death. So, after 5 years of 9 to 5, I broke up with the cubicle nation and started working remotely. Love great conversation, connecting with inspirational and courageous people and creative work. I'm on a quest to chase wonders and collect countries. Done with ninety one and one hundred four more to go. - Saurav Arya, Digital Nomad, Founder @ SmallWorld
