Colombia is in serious running for being the most happening country in South America, which is why it makes for a great bachelor party destination. Its nightlife alone is worth a visit - in fact, every Colombian city has a Zona Rosa, a district that features a good number of bars and clubs. Amping up the fun is the music and dancing: you can find places that play salsa and merengue beats just as easily as you can spot those churning out house music, EDM, and rock. Its party scene, however, is not the only thing that this country has to offer: it also has fantastic beaches and a seemingly endless number of activities that a group of guys looking to have fun will get a kick out of, whether they’re looking to get their adrenaline pumping or they want something a little more relaxing for their bud’s big day. Check out this list for some of the best bachelor party ideas in Colombia.
