Travel to the Colombian Pacific Coast

In the Colombian Pacific find more beautiful beaches for activities such as surfing, in the department of Choco one of the wettest places in South America and most biodiverse in the world. In the Pacific Coast and more precisely the particular and charming Gorgona Island are the ruins of an old prison closed some years ago, it is possible to buy a tour to spot humpback whales between July and October. Additionally, offer trips to different beaches in Bahia Solano Nuqui and vacation spots popular among Colombians.

Court decisions they can appeal and for that are the courts. But to question the judicial independence using the popularity of the ruling only further weakens the languid democratic institutions.

The conviction of the Third Criminal Court of Bogota Specialized against Colonel (r) Luis Alfonso Plazas Vega for the forced disappearance of eleven Colombian citizens is a landmark ruling that struck impunity and military interests that lie behind it.

Plazas was not convicted for the retaking of the Palace of Justice. Plazas Vega was convicted of forced disappearance, for their part in the disappearance of defenseless citizens in the days of the takeover of the Palace of Justice.

Activation of the solidarity of the body of the military and the ruling bloc is a call to impunity.

Squares have the right to appeal the ruling of the court and the government, along with the military, are obliged to respect the course of justice.

The hysteria of the government and the military is a reflection of their fear for the advancement of justice in this and other cases. Pending a ruling involving the general Arias Cabrales and a group of officers and NCOs, also for the case of the Palace of Justice. And the case is progressing rapidly and pikes of false positives.

Colombia needs more justice and less impunity. Colombia needs to strengthen democracy, not weaken, putting political power in the service of impunity.

Colombia Tourism
For many years serious internal armed conflict deterred tourists from visiting Colombia, with official travel advisories warning against travel to the country. However in recent years numbers have risen sharply, thanks to improvements in security resulting from President Álvaro Uribe’s “democratic security” strategy, which has included significant increases in military strength and police presence throughout the country and pushed rebel groups further away from the major cities, highways and tourist sites likely to attract international visitors.

Foreign tourist visits were predicted to have risen from 0.5 million in 2003 to 1.3 million in 2007, while Lonely Planet picked Colombia as one of their top ten world destinations for 2006. The improvements in the country’s security were recognised in November 2008 with a revision of the travel advice on Colombia issued by the British Foreign Office.

Popular tourist attractions include the historic Candelaria district of central Bogotá, the walled city and beaches of Cartagena, the colonial towns of Santa Fe de Antioquia, Popayan, Villa de Leyva and Santa Cruz de Mompox, and the Las Lajas Cathedral and the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá.

Tourists are also drawn to Colombia’s numerous festivals, including Medellín’s Festival of the Flowers, the Barranquilla Carnival, the Carnival of Blacks and Whites in Pasto and the Ibero-American Theater Festival in Bogotá. Meanwhile, because of the improved security, Caribbean cruise ships now stop at Cartagena and Santa Marta.

The great variety in geography, flora and fauna across Colombia has also resulted in the development of an ecotourist industry, concentrated in the country’s national parks. Popular ecotourist destinations include: along the Caribbean coast, the Tayrona National Natural Park in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range and Cabo de la Vela on the tip of the Guajira Peninsula; the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, the Cocora valley and the Tatacoa Desert in the central Andean region; Amacayacu National Park in the Amazon River basin; and the Pacific islands of Malpelo and Gorgona. Colombia is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
