Money in Colombia
Welcome to this tropical country full of diversity
and magic. Its history is full of mistery and adventures. This
land is famous thanks to its excellent coffee and purity of

This is the land where men spit fire, where rice transforms
you into an alligator and music becomes one no matter the
genre. We have become the answer to many questions to
find great life experiences, because in Colombia
the only risk is wanting to stay
