Hey, Ryan! Ive been remembering about my country (I know that it could sound weird, but Ive been traveling as a tourist there just a couple of times, mostly with my wife when I lived in Colombia, I used to go to the same places with my family every year or travel with basketball team to different competitions all around the country, but there was no time for real tourism)and talking with some friends, and thats what I could suggest:
First of all, check some general information at http://www.colombia.travel/en/international-tour / I dont know how long are you planning to stay there, but for approx. 10 days I would suggest the following places:
1. Bogota 1. Bogota (2 days) - is the capital and so on there are lots of interesting places, museums, but at least you have to go to Monserrate, from where you can see the whole panorama of the city, Gold museum, Botero Museum, Bolivar square, Presidential Palace (all these places are almost in the same area...)
+ Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira ( http://www.nuevalenguatours.com/english/tours.htm ) you can get there by a touristic train (on Saturdays and Sundays) + Laguna de Guatavita - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Guatavita -- just if you have enough time! But it's worth it!
Zipaquira
Guatavit a
2. Cartagena & Islas del Rosario (3 days) no comments! Its just amazing!
3. Santa Marta & Sierra nevada & Tayrona National park (1-2 day) Santa Marta is very close to Cartagena you could rent a car or go by bus and visit the Parque Tayrona its a unique place in the world with lots of virgin beaches, forest, places for camping, snow at the top (sierra nevada) and even a lost city somewhere Check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tayrona_National_Natural_Park 4. San Andres (2 days) If you like Jamaica, sun and beach, reggae, surf you have to go there Check: https://www.google.ru/search? q=san+andres&newwindow=1&client=firefox- a&hs=waE&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=G2rYUev6Hs7c4QSx xYHIBA&ved=0CEkQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=664 5. Coffee region (2 days) Id say that it is the heart of the Colombian nature and culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee-Growers_Axis
