2011 in style: Colombia Travel Blog’s Top 5 Top 5’s of the year

When it comes to the end of the year we enjoy reflecting. We at the Colombia Travel Blog paticuarly enjoy reflecting in a handy list format which is then ordered by preference. Confused? I’m talking about Top 5 lists. We’ve had many, many lists of ‘5 things…’ or ‘Top 5…’ and, frankly, we love them. So today’s post is dedicated to our favourites among these lists.

You wouldn’t think there’d be too much variation: Colombia travel, Colombia travel blog, vacations to Colombia… That kind of thing. As it turns out, people search for things as odd as ‘is my cat Colombian?’. We list our favourite search words, and of course answer that very pressing question.

Colombia is a land of constant surprises. No matter how well you think you know the country, something will take you a-back at some point. Be it some landscape you never expected, a genre of food, a piece of architecture or a new museum. Here’s 5 things that caught me off guard early on.

This actually came in a two part series, so there’s 10, but here are the first 5. Of course, these days I’m finding out more and more but these subtle but remarkable differences continue to make me smile whenever I encounter them.
