Message from João Petersen

Colombo, the bustling capital of Sri Lanka, is a vibrant city on the west coast known for its mix of modern life and colonial charm. With a population of over 5.6 million in the metropolitan area, it serves as the financial hub of the island and a popular tourist destination. Originally named by Portuguese explorers in 1505, Colombo's name is believed to come from Sinhala words meaning "port on the river Kelani" or "harbour with leafy mango trees." Whether you're exploring historic sites, enjoying the local cuisine, or soaking up the lively atmosphere, Colombo offers a unique blend of culture and urban energy.
