HighLives Travel, Avianca and ProColombia are offering you and a friend the chance to win a week’s trip to Colombia for two, including flights, accommodation and tours of Bogot!, Tayrona National Natural Park and Cartagena de Indias, where you’ll stay in one of EVOCA’s boutique hotels.

Colonial cities, breathtaking wildlife and tropical rainforests – Colombia contains the best of Latin America in one easily travelled package. From the rich red buildings of its capital, Bogot!, and Cartagena de Indias’ colonial architecture to the lush green landscapes of the national parks, there is something for everyone. And thanks to experienced tour operators such as HighLives Travel and the tourist board ProColombia – as well as Avianca Airlines' daily non-stop service from London Heathrow to Bogot!, connecting to more than 25 domestic airports in Colombia – exploring this wild, diverse country has never been easier.

Bogot! is the ideal place to start. Spend half a day in historical La Candelaria, marvelling at the neighbourhood’s colonial buildings. To peer deeper into Colombia’s rich history, the Catedral Primada de Colombia and the Capilla del Sagrario both house centuries of religious architecture, textiles and artwork.

Carved stonework and tall columns adorn the Capitol neighbourhood, while the Museo del Oro – an exhibition of 32,000 pieces of gold – is one of the most important in the world.

Wildlife wanders

Away from bustling Bogot!, take an Avianca flight to Santa Marta on the northern coast. From there it’s an easy journey to the remarkable Tayrona National Natural Park. Walk through the park’s dense jungle, the last place on the planet where you can spot the cotton-top tamarin, while also ticking off the mantled howler monkey and oncilla cat, before reaching the coastal viewpoint, the Sea of the Seven Waves. Hop on a boat tour of the Bay of Gayraca, before sailing around the cove on to the white beaches of Playa Cristal.

After swimming the crystal-clear coral reefs, hop west to the city of Cartagena de Indias, where you could stay at one of EVOCA’s historic boutique hotels. For a panoramic view of the whole city, scale the Monasterio and Iglesia de La Popa, a 500-year-old, 140 metre-tall church and monastery famous for resembling the stern of a galleon. Explore the city further by taking a visit to the San Felipe de Barajas Castle atop San L!zaro hill and also the Bovedas, a collection of archways built into the city wall.

With its diverse landscapes and contrasting cities, Colombia will amaze you with wild surprises around every corner, trail, archway and alleyway…

I had already entered this competition from an email and had put the answer at 18%... see this article amongst others:

http://www.globalteer.org/colombia-fact-file.aspx

"and almost one in every five birds on the planet call Colombia home."

10% refers to total biodiversity.

I think...

18% is correct
