Colombia climate and when to go

Climate

The climate is very warm and tropical on the coast and in the north, with a rainy season from May to November. This varies according to altitude. It is cooler in the upland areas and cold in the mountains. Bogotá is always spring-like, with cool days and crisp nights.

When to go

In the Andean Region, the dry season falls between December and March and July and August. If possible, avoid Colombia in October and November, as these are the rainiest months, and flooding and poor road conditions are common.
