Puede que acá en Bogotá no tengamos una Torre Eiffel, pero no faltan oportunidades para tomar fotos icónicas de la ciudad. Seguramente no ganaras puntos por originalidad, pero no puedes irte de la vibrante Capital de Colombia sin agregar estas tomas a tu álbum de viajes. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– 1. Torre Colpatria Al […]

We may not have an Eiffel Tower here in Bogotá, but we’re not short of essential photo opportunities. You might not win any prizes for originality, but you can’t leave Colombia’s roaring capital city without adding these to your travel gallery: –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– 1. Colpatria Tower At the time of writing this […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It´s a funny thing. Something about the nature of my job seems to make it necessary for me to access the internet. And, being the scab I am, I like free. Thus, I often find myself traipsing across the country-side, scanning for the above sign, like some kind of […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Although everybody loves Colombia´s Caribbean coast (just check out last week´s gallery again if you yourself still don´t), sometimes I get the feeling that its inhabitants, generally referred to as Costeños, often get a raw deal. In particular, it sometimes appears that some residents of the two major Colombian cities, […]
It’s no secret that Bogotá loves to party. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The Bogotano bar-hopper/club-goer is spoilt for choice. You can choose to down spirituous liquor at crazy underground dives, cooler-than-cool hipster joints, or swanky cocktail lounges. Anything from cheap and raucously cheerful to outrageously decadent establishments are just waiting for your patronage. >> […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Football? Cricket? Angry Birds? Well I´ve heard that they´re OK, but they are missing a couple of things. For one thing, there aren´t enough real explosions in any of them. Any Michael Bay could tell you that to make any good thing into a great thing, all you need to […]
We spend a lot of time trying to show people that Colombia isn’t just beaches and coffee. Sometimes, though, you’ve just got to sit back and admit that if it were just beaches, it’d still be a pretty stunning place to visit. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Take these photos. Phwoar. Barranquilla […]
Guess who´s back? Back again. Gilesy´s back. Aha-hem. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I bet you didn´t even realise I was gone, you Gentle but also Heartless Reader! Well, I was, even if you don´t care. I´d jumped out of the Bog, headed down the highway (on the way eating the best Boyacense arepa – […]
So, Nairo Quintana gave Colombia a (slightly tardy, mind you) birthday present by becoming King of the Mountains, the best rider under 25, and second over-all in the ridiculously gruelling Tour de France (being beaten out by a Brit, my associate Paul Fowler hastens to point out) – it´s got to be the craziest, most […]
And here I was thinking I was special. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– By this time, I´ve got my little story all scripted out for when people ask me what I´m doing in Colombia. ¨Well, to tell you the truth, it was just an accident. I just came here for a holiday, and wasn´t […]
