UK holidaymakers are taking advantage of the excellent air links to Colombia with Avianca now operating seven direct flights a week to the Colombian Capital Bogota from London’s Heathrow.

The airline also recent partnered with World Travel Awards ahead of that organisations upcoming Latin America Gala Ceremony 2015, scheduled to take place in Bogotá in October.

ProColombia works closely with its partners in the UK to provide the information and support needed to help holidaymakers experience the very best Colombia has to offer. 

A plethora of new hotel and attraction openings has also contributed to the enormous success which ProColombia is predicting will continue for the remainder of 2015 and beyond.
