The sites not to miss are the Caribbean coast with its turqoise waters, the immense expanse of the Amazon Basin with its lakes and plains as well as the lost cities of magnificent pre-Columbian art and the typical colonial houses to be found in most of the picutresque towns througout the country.
The climate is a tropical one varying considerably according to the area, humid on the coast with pleasant winds, while it can get quite cold during the night in the montainous regions.
