Wanderlust Travel Awards 2010: Top Emerging Destination

Wanderlust team | Issue 110 | March 2010

Colombia

This new category rewards countries that received fewer visitors – and therefore votes – than those in the main country category, but which wowed those who did visit. Top of the pile was Colombia, the Latin American nation whose wild beaches, colonial cities (including Unesco-listed Cartagena), archeological sites and rolling coffee plantations are fast erasing outdated stereotypes of drugs and crime. 

In-the-know favourites Madagascar and Bhutan follow close behind. Best known for all-inclusive luxury resorts, The Maldives were a surprise in this category – but for snorkellers and divers there are truly few better spots on earth.
