Travel Blogs from Colombia
Slaving away in Santa Marta
This is a top pick! So I am still in Santa Marta and actually have somewhat of a routine here seeing as how I am employed and all. My one year anniversary of leaving the US sort of came and went with out too much fanfare and I am now officially into year two of my ...
Heading North
This is a top pick! ... of Villa de Leyva is living proof. The town has been around since 1572 and modern architecture is almost non-existent. Colombia has been protecting it as a national monument since 1954. There's not much going here but the people are ...
The Pacific Coast
This is a top pick! ... way back to Medellin - this plane was even smaller with only 10 seats - and the pilot kindly did a flyover tour of the city before we landed. Only a few days left in Colombia now so I am heading South to catch my flight back to the USA out of ...
Medellin, Guatape - Guatape Medellin
This is a top pick! ... out of me. At an outdoor restaurant we ate fresh caught trout, butterflied, then fried in garlic and washed it down with cool Club Colombia cerveza. We didn’t even go near the lake, but Guatape was still one of the hi-lights of our trip to ...
Meeting up with Matty
This is a top pick! ... spent almost a week staying at The Black Sheep Hostel which is run by Kelvin, a friendly Kiwi who is a mine of information about Colombia. His hostel is situated near to the rich suburb of Poblado and so only a short walk from the best area to go ...
Saddle Sores and Visions of a Soothing Spa
This is a top pick! Could it be that our short term memories are fading with age? Only two short years ago, an eight hour horseback riding excursion around the hills and valleys of Vilcabamba in Ecuador left us with numerous aches and pains, and yet here we were signing up ...
Miss Colombia? Where?
This is a top pick! Someone mentioned to me that Cartagena stages Colombia's biggest party of the year. He had been travelling around the world off and on for around 10 years, yet after surviving numerous German Oktoberfests, Brazilian Carnivals and even a couple of ...
Still in Bogota
This is a top pick! ... corner. And costs a dollar. It apparently has the largest collection of gold in the world, and all of it is from Colombia. Before the Spaniards came to take over this continent, there were about 6 Andean tribes that used gold and other materials to ...
La Costa Caribe
This is a top pick! After a good weekend in taganga celebrating my birthday I caught a bus 4hrs along the Caribbean coast to Cartagena. The old city of Cartagena is really well preserved with lots of churches, beautiful old buildings and cobbled streets. I stayed in a ...
First week in Bogota
This is a top pick! ... might share some of my excitement - you know, before I get robbed or kidnapped or something goes terribly wrong. No, I'm only kidding - Colombia is fantastic. And Bogotá is about 10 million times safer than Nairobi, Jo'burg or Rio (okay, I know there are ...
Castles, pirates and treasure
This is a top pick! I spent my final days in Cartagena walking the streets taking photos. The city walls and the buildings contained within are interesting to explore - every street seems to transform as the sun passes overhead to alter the angle of light and shadows ...
Colombian Coffee and Hummingbirds.
This is a top pick! ... short their trip" trumpets the Lonely Planet". Well, we had planned to see the Coffee growing landscapes anyway, Colombia being the third largest producer of coffee in the world (after Brazil and Vietnam) and now we had the sweetener ...
Colombians Turn Out To Vote.
This is a top pick! ... in a nearby bus station hotel, and one other bus trip before that from San Agustin. Travel is not straightforward or easy in Colombia! We unwound ourselves from the tangled mass of bodies at San Andres de Pisimbala and looked forlornly at the state of our ...
Finally....
This is a top pick! ... , where I will sleep in a hammock and waste away a few days. The countdown's on. Two weeks and 4 days and I leave Colombia. I'm excited to see everyone, but I already feel my heart ripping because I have to leave this wonderful country. I'll stop ...
Living in Bogota
This is a top pick! ... to convince myself to go tonight, and tonight I'll promise to go tomorrow morning...and, well, yup...normal life. In Bogota, Colombia. I still believe that Colombians are truly some of the most welcoming and friendly people in the world. And I can't ...
Vive Colombia!
This is a top pick! ... delayed another 3 hours, but we finally got onto the 30 seater, with a souvenir keyring as compensation for the delay. What I learned * I want to go to Colombia again * Monkeys are thieving creatures * Border guards aren´t as scary as I had ...
Taganga... Caribbean coast paradise..really???
This is a top pick! So a nice short bus ride from Cartagena to Santa Marta of only 4-5 hours then we jumped in a taxi to Taganga, the ride in looked promising along the coast it looked pretty. We arrived at the Bayview Hostel which has mixed reviews online but its ...
Goodbye South America
This is a top pick! ... I wouldn't be able to deal later that night if I didn't get something to eat. As is the case anywhere I've been in Colombia, I was invited to join a group of people who were curious about what I was doing in Tayrona Park, and Colombia, by myself. We ...
Young, vibrant and stylish - this is Bogota!
... boarding my flight heading to Panama to see Ed and Solange Anchor who I met at their sons wedding in Brisbane in 2009. Colombia - a place you must visit. A friend emailed me recently saying she wished she had included it in her itinerary, I'm so glad I ...
Quito - Medellin & popped in Pablo Escobar's house
This is a top pick! So we got off our flight from the Galapagos and landed back in miserable rainy Quito around 2pm - we were on a mission to get to the Columbian border that night - we were now behind time and it means we only have 2 weeks to spend in Columbia but still ...
There is no U in Colombia
... my bag as I was going to be staying in a dorm for the 2nd night and off I headed into the wide world of Colombia and Cartagena. Whatever your preconceptions about Colombia, throw them out the window, this country and this city are thoroughly enjoyable and ...
Land Ahoy!
This is a top pick! Pulling into the harbor of Cartagena Colombia was a bit of a shock to us all. The city looked big, modern and clean. I don't know what I was expecting but the other backpackers were similarly amazed. It felt so good to to get ...
Beach time in Colombia
It's a bit of a whistlestop tour of Colombia so the next day we get a minivan to Santa Marta along the coast. And yes, the driving here is just as crazy as Peru and Ecuador- for such a laidback continent they do lack patience when it comes to ...
Ancient Civilazations
This is a top pick! ... of course I was normal in my country...little do they know! Our last stop in Colombia was to see a random church built on the border between Ecuador and Colombian. Its built right into the side of a ...
Bernardo from Yellowstone lives here!
This is a top pick! ... ; We have kept in contact via email over the years and he has been super helpful with information regarding Colombia. I stayed with Bernardo and his family for a couple days when I came to Cali. Cali ...
6 Day jungle trek
This is a top pick! ... photos that were posted in Israeli newspapers. Finally when everyone was released 2 of the Israelis stayed in Colombia permanently. The government killed all the guerrillas without mercy and the cause the guerrillas were ...
Our last stop in South America - Bogota
After a night's stopover in Cartagena, we fly to Bogota – our last stop in Colombia. We stay at a good hostel called La Pinta, halfway between the old town and zona rosa (there seems to be a zona rosa in every town which has the bars and ...
Un Dia Muy Chevere
This is a top pick! ... friends and siblings to have their photos taken with. By mid-day two rolls of film were done. Most of us know that Colombia is a developing country. There are people with a lot of money here, but so many of the people are extremely impoverished. Many ...
In search of Jaun Valdez
This is a top pick! ... nbsp; The views again were spectacular and even though I don't care much about plants the colors often amazed me. Colombia is famous for its coffee but they export all their best stuff so that leaves the country drinking second ...
