Colombia

 


   Colombia

Interestingly enough Colombia had some big history-making it what is now, and it goes all the way back to even for 1400's era in which the Spanish would claim the land. Everything has an impact and knowing the back history will show the history to what it is now. Settlers around the 1500s found and claimed Colombia and surprisingly enough it was not Christopher Columbus, but Alonso de Ojeda which landed in Cabo de la Vela. Fun fact that Santa Marta the oldest city (in Colombia) to live stands still to this day. Anyways religion became a big part of Colombia having mostly Roman Catholic Christianity, a few being protestant Christianity, and the other being other types of religion around the world. In Colombia back in the day religion was a massive part of power around the 1600s-1900s centaury. They have many churches that were built around the 1800s-1900s centenary, and some still stand to this day. Religion played a major part even having a conflict named, War of Supremes which lead to president Jose Ignacio de Marquez claiming power in the 1800s centenary which was a religious leader. The Spanish had man disputes with the British, but still being claimed by the Spanish and have for the taking. 


Another fun fact would be before the Spanish came to take over the land, the native were killed by a foreign disease. Already knowing that they do not have the technology to help they were dying already which made it easier for the Spanish to take over.

Jamaica

Jamaica The Caribbean has many offers to give you, and as many options to choose from. Jamaica is very small, but when you get there it is going to seem like a big place to explore. On a hot day relaxing at the beach and going for a nice daily swim will seem regular. The waters in Jamaica are so beautiful and have a light blue tint so nice that you can see all the way to the bottom of the oceans. There are many waters to go to in Jamaica like the Blue Lagoon, Reach Falls, and so many more I cannot even count. Depending on where you go you will find nature and different terrains of all types going from forests, caves, rivers, and even mountains. Depending on where you are these could be amazing and fun for anyone of any age. One completely different thing is for sure culture even having different music, food, and so many other things.

Panamá

  Panamá is just below Costa Rica and above Colombia making it the bridge to South America to Mexico or even North America. Interestingly enough the country and blend of cultures going from Spanish, Indigenous, and even many more having an interesting history. Another interesting history for Panama is that it was claimed to be famous for pirate raids. Being knowing to be capture by Henry Morgan in 1971 which I find very interesting. Even before that tribes lived in Panama as Archaeologists claim. Quite a few years later the Spanish claimed Panama making their own society. Panama was claimed by the Spanish but around the 1800s formed the state called Gran Colombia. Around 1903 Panama declared independence from Colombia making it its own country. Like any other country/state they have their own established events or even things they celebrate. One popular event would be the carnival de las tablas which are celebrated every year. This event is followed by dancing, performances, firewo...
