Welcome to the VivaColombia tag page. Here you’ll get fresh updates on everything happening in Colombia, from football pitches to street‑racing lanes, and from local festivals to travel hotspots. We keep the info short, useful, and easy to read so you can jump straight into the action.
Colombian football is buzzing this season. Atlético Nacional and Millonarios are fighting for the top spot, and the derby matches draw crowds that fill stadiums overnight. If you follow the national team, the latest friendlies show a young squad ready for the next World Cup cycle. Beyond soccer, cycling remains a point of pride – the Vuelta a Colombia is back on the calendar, and riders are testing new routes through the Andes.
Motorsport fans have a lot to cheer about too. The Colombian Superbike series has added a few new manufacturers, and the local street‑racing scene is getting more organized with safety standards that let enthusiasts enjoy the thrill without risking too much. Keep an eye on the upcoming race at Autódromo Alfonso Pérez, where local talent often earns a spot on the international stage.
Car culture in Colombia blends classic imports with modern performance models. In Bogotá, the monthly “Rally Café” meets bring owners of vintage Porsches, Mustangs, and locally tuned Toyotas together for coffee and swap‑talk. If you’re looking for a test drive, the new influx of electric vehicles (EVs) is worth a look – several dealers now offer zero‑emission models that suit the city’s traffic.
For road trips, the Pacific coast highway offers stunning ocean views, while the coffee region’s winding roads are perfect for a weekend drive. Remember to check tire pressure before heading up the mountain passes – the altitude can affect grip. Also, keep a copy of your insurance handy; many small towns still rely on paper documents.
Travel tips? Use the local app “Ruta Seguro” for real‑time traffic updates and safe parking spots. Public transport in major cities is improving, but a rental car gives you flexibility to explore hidden waterfalls and remote coffee farms. Book early in the high‑season months (December to February) to avoid price spikes.
Culture lovers will find festivals that pair perfectly with a night drive. The Carnaval de Barranquilla lights up the streets with music, costumes, and parades that stretch for days. If you time your visit with the festival, you’ll see the city’s streets turned into a massive celebration – a great backdrop for a photo‑shoot with your ride.
Food is another highlight. Try an arepa de huevos while cruising the coastal road, or stop at a roadside “guaro” bar for a sip of the local spirit. These small stops turn a simple drive into a tasty adventure.

CEO William Shaw says comfort can take a back seat on short trips, as the airline bets travelers will trade frills for savings. The plan still faces regulatory hurdles, but the industry is watching closely.
