Where should you go in Columbia in october when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Columbia in october ranges from good to very bad depending on the region and city.
October is not the best month to visit Colombia. The weather in Santa Marta, Tumaco and Leticia is ok but correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain frequently. Nonetheless, if you don't plan a deckchair & cocktails by the pool trip but rather nature excursions or hiking, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists at this time of year.
It's even worse in Bogota, Armenia, Santiago de Cali, Barranquilla, Medellin, Manizales, Cartagena and Pereira and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is not recommended to go to these areas this month.
