Jerico - Another road trip beckons
This is a top pick! ... 30 minutes... Being that New Year was rapidly approaching, I learned the sacred ceremony of Blowing Shit Up purveys itself into Colombia with gusto. The road to Jericó was periodically lined with varying degrees of death on a stick: from the poor ...
The coolest thing I´ve ever done... Ciudad Perdida
This is a top pick! ... national government control and off into the realm of paramilitary dominion and active guerilla activity. Ever here of those 8 tourists kidnapped in Colombia a few years ago and held in the jungle for months? On this trek. They tried to do it solo though, ...
A VERY long day
This is a top pick! Arrive airport 5am with too many Columbian pesos as we all thought we had to buy two extra meals than we did. Dunkin Donuts did well out of us instead. Actually get flight to Cucuta 12 hours later than should have been and AJ meets up with us at the ...
In Columbia at last!
This is a top pick! We then head into the nearby border town of Ipiales which is pretty huge compared to what we were expecting. Some of the local men are staring at the women and blowing kisses which makes us all more nervous. However when we go out in town later we have ...
Episode 1: Bat Out of Hell
This is a top pick! ... room, and nightly home-made fireworks crackle throughout the night for several weeks. I'm sure it's hard to imagine, but for a tourist in Colombia the sound of explosions overhead and at street level is just a little unnerving - at first I was under the ...
Back in Colombia - fiestas and football
This is a top pick! After just over 18months away I returned to Colombia, one of my favourite countries. A smile from the immigration officer and paying less than a dollar for a bus ride from the airport to the city centre is a great start to any country! I had booked into ...
Kieran goes drinking, hilarity ensues...
This is a top pick! ... Tea Bag, Tea Tree etc... 04:00am - The bar closes, but T-Shirt wants to kick on thanks to the couple of grams of Colombia's finest coursing through his body. Apparently a gram is US$4, and 95% pure. David looks like death warmed up, so takes his leave ...
Shakira's homecoming concert
This is a top pick! ... dream alive. The sun came up, I pulled up stumps and headed for the bus terminal. At some point I realised that thanks to Colombia's finest I had in fact gone two nights in a row without actually sleeping, so I pencilled in a recovery day or two of sleep ...
Feliz Cumpleanos Dave and a long story!
This is a top pick! Next morning have a lie in and give Dave his little pressies. FEw of us then sit in reception to watch the England v Ecuador match. Must admit am glad we are not in Ecuador anymore as would feel bit scared! Flukely manage to win although painful match ...
Bus Travels And An Amazing Archeological Site.
This is a top pick! ... we are seeing is beautiful, jungle clad mountains, with the deepest of ravines under dark threatening thunder clouds. The Colombia we are seeing has unkempt city outskirts with traffic snarls and belching buses, but then beautiful inner city squares with ...
Loungin´
This is a top pick! ... or so, then headed to Medellin (again) to see some friends and watch our new hometeam, Nacional kick some butt. Came to Colombia for three weeks, stayed for two months! Serious refiguring to do on the rest of the itinerary me thinks... Hasta la ...
Our very last long bus ride.... to Cartagena
This is a top pick! Well this has to be one of the worst bus journeys we did through the whole of this country and for those who read the blog know its been a few - the drivers found it hilarious to put the air con on super super super cold all night - yes its normally cold ...
Old Town Cartagena
This is a top pick! Cartagena has proven itself to be a quite fun and pleasant city ... actually one of the safer places I`ve walked around, believe it or not. Cartagena`s Old Town is one of the most amazing colonial towns I`ve been to .. by far much better than Antigua ...
Back in the land of
This is a top pick! ... I feel and what accommodation is like, I will either go to a rave, or to Tyrona Park, which apparently has the nicest beaches in all of Colombia. It's Semana Santa (Easter week), so hopefully there will be somewhere to stay. Hope all is well. ...
The colorful side of Colombia
This is a top pick! ... one of their top export products; cocaine. It´s everywhere! It´s easy to get, high quality, and cheap. In 1999, Colombia exported about 460 tons of the stuff, bringing billions of dollars into the country and representing a significant portion of their ...
Salsa in Cali and heading South
This is a top pick! ... nice to come back and take some more pics! By now I was only 20mins from the border with Ecuador and soon I was leaving Colombia... At the border I got my exit and entry stamps easily enough and also managed to avoid the drunk/druggie who tried to steal ...
The Journey Matters.
This is a top pick! T. S. Eliot once famously and concisely wrote, "The journey, not the arrival, matters." Mompos (Sometimes called Mompox), Colombia was all about the journey. Mompos is a little visited, right off the tourist radar, river port. Once it was a thriving ...
Arrival in Letecia, Colombia
This is a top pick! Letecia, Colombia Spent 11 hours on a fast boat going full speed down the Amazon. Left Iquitos at 6am and arrived at about 530pm. And keep in mind we were going between 80 and 100km/hr. It was a sit down boat...not a get up and walk around boat ... ...
Episode 2 : Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
This is a top pick! ... to a nearby salsa bar to continue the festivities. And now, some photos of life here that really remind me that I'm in Colombia. The handy street signs warning against horrific head-on collisions are more prolific than you might imagine. They are ...
Police searches and buses
This is a top pick! ... . In a couple of weeks I will venture to Cartagena - I assure you it is merely coincidental that the rigorous process to find Miss Colombia happens to be booked for the same dates. I will of course do my best to avoid the commotion and crowds, but on the ...
The fruitless search for factor 30
This is a top pick! We woke up somewhat late (well the lady did) and we watched a Planet Earth before wandering back into town. Although most of the shops were shut we were nearly out of suncream (except for the tanning oil given to us by R&E in Asia, (Erica edit: ...
Goodbye Colombia, Hello 24 Hour Bus To Caracas.
This is a top pick! ... the sticking point was the price of airfares to Caracas - $1,000. The express bus would take us from Cartagena in Colombia, over the border, and onto Caracas in Venezuela for $200, without changing buses. After some internet and Lonely Planet ...
Santa Fe De Antioquia Road Trip
This is a top pick! One of my many flaws is my absolute inability to turn down any road trip offered to me. In this instance, the plan was to drive about an hour out of Medellin to a town called Santa Fe De Antioquia, and stay there for the weekend to experience the Annual ...
It Never Rains But It Pours
This is a top pick! ... Yesterday we travelled a short distance across this verdant valley for a day's visit to the Parque Nacional de Café. This is Colombia's version of a Disney-style theme park, and is stunningly located on a ridge in the valley with panoramic views across ...
Meddling in Medellin
This is a top pick! I found a cheap flight to Medellin Colombia so here I am....becoming the jet setting backpacker. And as luck would have it, my crazy Christmas mates from Australia are here too. Natalie, Tom, and Chloe are performing the ...
Goodbye Venezuela, Hello Colombia
This is a top pick! ... de Venezuela'. A monument back up in the mountains had commemorated Bolívar's liberation campaign - not only of Venezuela, but Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia as well. Born to a wealthy family in Caracas, he led many failed campaigns to ...
Countdown to Christmas in Colombia
This is a top pick! ... two all-too-short months here, we certainly endorse his efforts and encourage you to come and discover the "passion of Colombia" for yourselves. Finally, we wish all our TravelPod readers a very Peaceful and Blessed Christmas, and hope that all your ...
Christmas on Caribbean Coast of Colombia and more
This is a top pick! Well after our interesting boat ride into Carpugana we had a nice afternoon walking around the village and along the beach and a pleasant evening chatting to another couple, Leif and Miya, that had crossed the border with us. We woke up early the next ...
