A letter from Proexport CEO, Maria Claudia Lacouture, proposing candidacy for the World amateur team championship in 2016:

Colombia is the most diverse country in the world per square kilometer, tropical, Andean, and equatorial, surrounded by two oceans, located in the middle of America with easy access to all continents. It is, according to historians and experts in tourism, one of the most promising international destinations because of its economic success, sustainable development and the investment that is coming to the sector.

The Secretary - General of the World Tourism Organization, Mr. Taleb Rifai, said it just a few weeks ago, and just take a look at any recent press that has been monitoring and you will conclude, that very interesting things are happening in this nation of 46 million inhabitants and more than one million square kilometers of territory.

In addition to the 50 courses of excellent quality in Bogota, Cali, Medellin, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bucaramanga and the Coffee Triangle, you will find a variety of landscapes, rich culture, and great warmth. The country is now a benchmark for high standards of quality of its courses and also a preferred destination for organizing conferences, seminars, exhibitions and incentive travel, sometimes closely associated with the sport.

At Proexport we work to offer new tourism products that complement the traditional ones, so for visitors can enjoy many experiences in one place, as it is one of the strengths of Colombia to position itself as a world-class destination.

We have been host of tournaments such as the PGA Nationwide Tour in Bogota, which was the first to be played in a country in South America; the Tour of the Americas, the Canadian Tour, the European Challenge and, we look forward the next one. Colombia is a golfer's home, Proexport will continue supporting this sport and its athletes.

This is an open course with very few trees, the designer has taken masterly advantage of the natural topography, an uneven terrain and slick fairways and greens that require precise strokes. The players will enjoy the ondulated greens, also the course demands to be very precise from the tee, due to the narrow fairways for both amateurs and professional players who will also have to face cross shots to narrow greens. Nonetheless, the course´s design is also enjoyable and challenging for every golfer who plays it, we feel that the designer has used the land to create a very good facility.

Bogota is the host city of the largest theater festival in the world. it is a major cultural event in Colombia and one of the largest performing arts festivals in the whole world. It takes place every other year in the Colombian capital and brings together the most important theater companies from five continents. For seventeen days, the city becomes the setting for colorful parades; Bogotá dresses up for the party and becomes a genuine Theater City.

International Book Fair.

One of the most important literature fairs in all of America, hosting writers, publishers and buyers from the entire world. Thanks to this event, Bogota was appointed Book Capital of the World.

The first Bogota International Book Fair was held in Bogota in April 1988, when publishers, distributors, booksellers, writers and other related professionals met for the first time in the capital of Colombia. Ever since, the Fair has been the most relevant annual encounter for the fostering of reading and the development of the publishing industry. Year after year, the Fair has been in charge of promoting the development of the publishing industry, as well as a motor for the reading, promotion and marketing of books in the rest of Hispanic-American countries.

The Gold MuseumA magic treasure in the center of Bogota.

The Bogota Gold Museum contains close to 34,000 gold pieces, plus 20,000 bone, stone, ceramic and textile articles belonging to 13 pre-Hispanic societies: Tumaco, Nariño, Cauca, Calima, San Agustín, Tierradentro, Tolima, Quimbaya, Muisca, Urabá and Chocó, Malagana, Zenú and Tayrona.

Simply entering the Museum is enough to notice its magical character. Part of the legacy of mysterious cultures, of which we only have fragmentary visions, is right there in plain sight of visitors.

The little that remained after all the barbarity and looting is exhibited - a treasure many pirates would have dreamt about. Hundreds, millions of pieces that survived the fog of many days and the rust of time lead us to think that these people, our ancestors, should have been named “People of Gold”.

Other GolfCourses in Colombia

41

It is incredible that, in the country where I learned to play, I can go from the beauty of its beaches to the magic of its moun-tains in less than an hour, on golf courses that both the PGA Nationwide and the European Tour endorsed for many consecu-tive years.

Camilo Villegas

Western Zone / The western zone encompasses the departments of Cauca and Valle del Cauca and is one of the country´s main economic and industrial centers. The capital cities are Santiago de Cali and Popayan, with salsa dancing and gastronomy, respectively, as their main attraction.

The Western Zone offers a variety of climates, topographies and vegetation in a large diversity of environments. Playing golf on these courses makes the game an unforgettable experience, due to the topography and the vast expanses of land that allow the free execution of all kinds of golf strokes in the company of festive people.

Antioquia Zone / The department of Antioquia is located in northwestern Colombia and focuses its economic activities on agriculture and cattle raising, manufacturing and services. Its capital, Medellin, is the second city in Colombia in terms of population and economy. It is recognized as the epicenter of Latin American fashion and known for the diversity of its flowers. On account of its pleasant climate, Medellin is called the “City of Eternal Spring”.

As a city, it is the ideal place for those who wish to experience a magnificent history and to enjoy a pleasant stay, thanks to the excellent infrastructure and a climate conducive to playing good golf. Golf courses demand good skills from all players to overcome difficult hurdles such as 30-meter trees, bunkers and lakes.

Co�ee Triangle Zone / The departments of Caldas, Quindio and Risaralda make up this zone. This is the magical place from which the best coffee in the world has positioned Colombia on the world scenario, thanks to its traditional haciendas and high-level tourist lodgings.

The Coffee Triangle also offers its visitors several thermal floors, starting at 900 meters above sea level and going up to the region´s snow peaks. The Coffee Triangle´s varied tourist offer is a land of opportunities, visitors will surely wish to tour the entire region and discover its coffee culture.

Playing golf in the Coffee Triangle fosters the maximum development of the imagination by combining the imposing beauty of nature, as expressed in vast coffee fields, and the opportunity for playing a game that becomes more and more popular in a world of unsuspected pleasures.

Atlantic Coast Zone / Colombia´s Atlantic Zone is the country´s main continental and maritime area, and naturally owes its name to its vicinity to the Atlantic Ocean. The three main departments offerin the chance to play golf are Atlantico, Bolivar and Cordoba.

A warm climate dominates most of the Atlantic Zone, with dry, deserted areas and spectacular scenary. Business in Atlantico focuses on industry, trade, finance, transportation, and farming and cattle raising.

Golf in this zone is distinguished by high-level, well-maintained courses. To make the best out of diverse game opportunities, it is necessary to combine a strategic game with the golfer´s own analysis. Enjoy the festive spirits of the people and the sea breezes coming into the city, to make your golfing a great experience.

Santanderes Zone The Santanderes Zone is located in northeastern Colombia and includes the departments of Santander and Norte de Santander, both characterized by the passion of their historical richeness and their extreme sports.

The golf courses here are characterized by a unique topography that gives a particular beauty to the region, in contrast to the zones of the mountain range and the hot plains.

Enjoy the experience of playing in the city, as well as on the mountain next to the Chicamocha Canyon, considered the second largest canyon in the world. Feel the energy derived from enjoying the rivers, nature and mountains that constitute a challenge to all sportspeople.

Villavicencio Zone (Meta) The department of Meta is located in the country´s central region, to the east of the Andes Region and to the west of the Eastern Plains. Dreamy sunsets and the culture of the plains are the framework of this zone.

Golf in the Villavicencio Zone is characterized by the good quality of its grasses, abundant low-lying bushes and floristically diverse forests.

Central Zone The Central Zone encompasses the departments of Cundinamarca, Huila and Tolima, where towns like Girardot, Villeta, Ibague, Melgar, and Neiva offer a variety golf courses, plus the advantage of being close to each other, thus allowing visitors to travel quickly from one to another.

The scenery and climate vary greatly depending on the altitude above sea level, which creates the so-called “thermal floors”, with different levels of temperature, humidity and sunlight, therefore, different environments for playing golf.

The sector features the distinctive exotic nature of the Andes Mountains, which includes enormous rivers, mountains, canyons, valleys and lakes.
