What's The Weather Like In Colombia?
Colombia doesn’t quite have seasons. It is a tropical country but the climate varies greatly with altitude and topography, resulting in different conditions all throughout the country. This phenomenon occurs from Bogota, a city sitting at an altitude of 8,000 feet, to sea level destinations on the coasts like Cartagena, to the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta**.
**It’s worth noting that, although nestled along the Caribbean, the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta is the highest snow-capped mountain on any coast, anywhere in the world (18,000 feet). It has also been declared the most irreplaceable place on the planet by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because it has thermal floors all throughout and every species could survive there.
