While Colombia, often referred to as "the gateway to South America," may conjure thoughts of sandy beaches and mountain air, it has much more to offer, specifically for LGBTQ+ travelers. "Colombia is walking out of this pandemic, making strong efforts to continue its positioning as 'the most welcoming country in the world,' " Felipe Cardenas, Board Chair of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), tells EDGE. "Medellín, Cartagena, Barranquilla, The Coffee Region, and, of course, our capital Bogotá have emerged as friendly destinations for LGBTQ+ individuals — facing 2022, Colombia is ready to welcome with pride and respect." Pride flags wave outside city businesses, restaurants and rum tasting rooms are run by gregarious gays, and — in the metropolitan city of Medellín — everyone looks runway-ready, and, as such, is canonically queer. Almost three-quarters of the population is Roman Catholic, but don't let that statistic fool you: In urban and Andean communities alike, you'll find welcoming people, a more relaxed pace of life, and plenty to see, taste, and enjoy.
