Where should you go in Columbia in august when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Columbia in august ranges from good to very bad depending on the region and city.
August is not the best month to visit Colombia. The weather in Bogota, Armenia, Santiago de Cali, Tumaco and Leticia is OK but just acceptable. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain often. Nonetheless, if you don't plan a beach and sun trip in Colombia but rather discovery of heritage or walking, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists at this time.
But it gets worse: in Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Medellin, Manizales, Cartagena and Pereira and surrounding areas where the climate is even worse. We really do not recommend you to visit these areas in august.
