A Country Reincarnated:
Colombia is looking better for business and tourism. For years, Colombia has been virtually synonymous with anything bad kidnappings, homicides, crime, cocaine, civil war and the escapades of Pablo Escobar, the drug kingpin from Medellín who terrorized the country in the '70s and '80s.
