If you just want to let loose and enjoy the beautiful weather, Colombia certainly abides. Dancing is practically a national pastime and having a good time is taken very seriously. Colombia has been experiencing recent positive economic growth and stability and has worked hard to re-established itself as a leader in the South American tourism market.
