Peru vs Colombia World Cup LIVE Football Score  June 2021

 

Colombia vs. Peru is one of the most difficult choices for travelers in South America.Colombia and Peru are two of the most popular countries on the continent and both world-class destinations in their own right. To give you a bit of background about my experience with the countries, I’ve spent six months in Colombia lived for four more months in Peru.

To be honest, I ended up in the two countries because they were the cheapest destinations when I was buying flights (I’m sure many of you can relate) but in the end, I sincerely loved both.

However, when people are deciding to visit South America, Peru vs. Colombia is one of the most common comparisons. While I definitely recommend that you visit both if time allows, that just isn’t an option for a lot of people. Let’s take a look at which one might be for you.

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

If you’re a backpacker on a long-term trip, this one might not matter as much to you as it might for someone on a shorter trip. However, tourist attractions are fun for everyone, no matter what type of traveler you are.

During our time in Colombia, I found that tourist attractions weren’t really that big of a thing. But, some of the most popular experiences in the country are:

• The Walled City of Cartagena
• Anything Pablo Escobar
• Tayrona National Park
• Monserrate in Bogota
• Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira
• Medellin Cable Car

While there are certainly others, these are just some of the most common that tourists tend to visit. We spent most of our time in Medellin, though, where there is very little in the way of tourist attractions.

After spending six months in Colombia, landing in Peru was like landing in a tourist wonderland. It seems like everywhere you go there are a ton of different options for tourists. I could list tourist attractions in Peru for days, but some of the most popular experiences in the country are:

• Treks to Machu Picchu
• The Sacred Valley (where you can stay in crazy glass sky lodges on the side of a cliff)
• Tons of different ruins
• The Nazca Lines
• Hiking Colca Canyon
• Rainbow Mountain
• The Islands of Lake Titicaca
• Huacachina Oasis
• Mountain climbing
• Santa Cruz Trek
