People can do different activities in their free time. These activities can change according to the tastes, location and the things needed to do the activity. The people who live in Colombia enjoy doing different activities, I will mention the main activities that the Colombian people do in their free time.

One of the main hobbies of the Colombian people is playing soccer. Even though the people also enjoy watching soccer matches. Soccer makes people proud of their state and they support their team even when they are losing. For example, it is normal that the people meet in a bar, watch a match, drink some beers and enjoy the time together. However, the soccer can also bring bad moments when fans do not accept the results of a match and fight against the fans of the opposite team. Therefore, the soccer is a great activity that is enjoyed by the Colombian people, but it can also bring difficulties when people do not respect each other.

The second hobby that I would like to mention is dancing. It is known that the Colombian people are happy and it can be seen in the multiple carnivals and festivals that the country has. In those events, the people are always dancing and having fun. The country has a huge diversity of rhythms, every state has its own music and it means that every state has a style of dancing. For instance, the musical genre of the Caribbean zone is the Champeta, this rhythm is danced quite extravagantly. Hence, dancing is one of the leisure activities that the Colombian people enjoy doing.

In conclusion, the activities that the Colombian people enjoy doing are mainly playing and watching soccer, although it can also bring problems, and dancing to the different genres of Colombian music.
