History
In that year, the conquest of the
Incas in Peru gave the
Spaniards strategic positions
in the north and south for the
subjugation and colonization
of Colombia.During this period,
the Andes were occupied by
a number of indigenous groups
that ranged from stratified
agricultural chiefdoms to tropical
farm villages and nomadic
hunter-gatherer groups.
The social structures of these groups
were destroyed during the conquest,
as Indians were forced into slavery
to exploit the natural riches of the
country. As the number of casualties
in the Indian population increased due to
starvation and disease brought by the
conquistadors and to the intense labor of
slavery, Spain imported slaves from Africa
for gold and silver mining on the Pacific
coast. Spaniards were referred to
as Peninsulars, while their
South-American-born descendants
were called criollos (Creoles).
Miscegenation produced people of
mixed race known to the Spaniards
as the castas (castes).War

Places To visit in Colombia
San Andres and Provincia are two islands off the coast of Colombia. Blessed with beautiful, year-round weather and some of the most sparkling waters you’re likely to see, both are incredible options for anyone looking for a bit of relaxation in the Caribbean.While San Andres may be a little more built up, it still retains its small island charms and laid back atmosphere. Providencia, however, takes this to whole new levels. Littered with secluded beaches and only sparsely populated, it’s your own personal island adventure.
El Cocuy Snow-capped mountains? In Colombia? You betcha. This challenging but rewarding hike up El Cocuy is one of Colombia’s most surprising highlights. While Colombia is making a name for itself as a country that defies expectations, surely even the most liberal and open-minded of travelers wouldn’t expect to need to pack clothes for the snow when they visit the
country.
Few beaches take the breath away quite like the ones you find at Tayrona National Park. With its rugged coastlines, wild jungles and epic mountain-scapes you’ll swear you’ve just wandered onto the set of Lost.
