The most important Colombian tradition in my opinion, is Chritmas time and new year which in this ones are included Novena de anacondas. This is because in this two celebrations society have a family time, which in some families just happen in this time of the year. And make integration between near friends to family. For me, this celebrations are an authentic Colombian tradition, because in my knowledge I have never listen that other countries have a Novena de Navidad.

For me the most important tradition in Colombia is the Carnaval de Barranquilla, becouse it is were all the traditions can be seen, just like the traditional music, dance, costumes and of everyone been happy and unique showing what Colombians are made of.

The most important tradition in Colombia f is the Carnaval of Barranquilla , because it is hads many traditional themes and culture.

Colombiano has so many traditions, the ones oír ancesters gave is and the ones de hace learnt from outside, that this cjoice ir really difficult, but, un muy point of vida, the Carnaval de Blancos y Negros is the most important one because it is a tradition gained after Colombia could get its freedom from Spain.

In my opinion the most important Colombian tradition is the Carnaval of Barranquilla, because in where all the tradition can be seen represented by kids, teenagers, adults and also old people that are the one the now more of this traditions of Dance, Music, and Custumes.

I think that Christmas is the most important Colombian tradition. At this time, everyone gets together. Family, friends, neighbors and others. Everyone praying the novena, eating and celebrating. We have the best of both worlds; Be together in family, and eat all the delicious food we want.

For me the most importan colombian tradition is the Carnaval de Blancos y Negros, not only because of its historical importance but also because of the enjoyment of foreigners in it.

I could agree with you but this tradition is not closed to Colombia or made up in Colombia;therefore you are consider another tradition culture that are not related to Colombia so that is not the purpose of this question.The only thing that could get to the question is the Novena but this not invites others to demonstrate that the tradition is focused only in Colombia, because in Latin countries also this tradition is practice.For me the important tradition in Colombia have to be related only in Colombia.

The most important colombian tradition we have here in colombia are our games, like " Tejo" or "Rana", also our christmas tradition are very colombian like the Novena or eating buñuelos and natilla with our family.

SebasGuzman98 "I think that the most important colombian tradition is the barranquilla's carnaval because is one of the first things someone think about colombia and theres Nottingham moré colombian than that" I agree with these idea because of It is one of the major carnivals to our culture and history. i realy like these intervention

Colombia is a country that celebrate many traditions for example:"Carnaval de Barranquilla", " carnaval de blancos y negros" and some tradition that are game like "Rana" and " tejo", but in my opinion the most important tradition is the " Carnaval de Barranquilla" it is the folk and cultural festival in were people show their totalent to more than a million people.

Today, Colombian culture is a mixture of European and indigenous customs and traditions that are reflected through music, art, literature and the relationship with nature.

For me the most representative and important tradition is "the Barranquilla´s carnival" because it shows all the mix of races, the different cultures, the combination of music and it is a very big event, that includes all kind of people, form the smallest to the biggest...So if you have the opportunity to go don´t reject it!

I agree with Natalia because this amazing carnaval hoisted on one of the most popular cities of the country, Barranquilla, shows and recreates a mix of all the races, cultures, music, dances and traditions our beautiful country has. I think it's the mos complete and developed event Colombia has had in its history.

I think christmas is the most important traditon in Colombia, because is the time of the year that we are more happy, because we can share with our family, share food, share presents and also, we can pray.

The carnaval´s are important in our traditions. Becuase it shows the happiness of our country and the different cultures that we have inside. Thanks to this our country sometimes is happier and shows the colorful identities. When we do this carnaval allows the cultures we have get mixed and we get to know new traditions.

I agree with zapata, I think that what catch the attention is how the Colombians celebrate Christmas with different delicious food

I think the most important tradition in Colombia is Christmas and New Years, since we have traditions and foods no one else has. Novenas, Villancicos, bueñuelos and natilla are the best part of these holidays, bringing all the family and friends together they have a power that no other country posses.

In my opinion Christmas is the most important and amazing tradition of Colombia , it is a beautiful time where we are all happy , we make things at this holiday that nobody else do and that makes ir more special.
