Colombia
With a staggering 10 per cent of the planet's biodiversity found in Colombia's Andes region, Caribbean white-sand beaches in the country's north and the lush Amazon rainforest down south, this destination really does seem to have it all. But it doesn't stop there. It's also home to chic, cosmopolitan cities with killer nightlife, such as Medellín and Bogotá, with colourful Cartagena arguably being the jewel in the country's crown. Wander around this coastal hotspot's walled old town, then grab a table in one of the many sustainability-focused new restaurants and feast on classic ceviche with a modern twist and sumptuous desserts such as tres leches cake - a butter sponge soaked in three kinds of milk.
