Not too long ago I decided to test my fear of enclosed spaced by visiting La Catedral de Sal in Zipaquirá which is a salt mine turned cathedral. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It is about an hour from Bogotá and is 200 metres underground. Just hearing that, as we walked into the cavernous tunnel […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Even before the glory days of the 80s, where Tom Cruise, blue drinks, poor taste, and douchebags reigned supreme, cocktails have raised the crude act of downing booze into a delicate, intricate art-form. Or maybe I’m just saying that to justify this post. Well, in the spirit […]
Happy Valentine’s Day from the team here at See Colombia Travel. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Even though Valentine’s Day isn’t really celebrated here, Colombia’s a romantic country and so we thought it fit to do something. So in honour of non-Valentine’s Day, here’s our homage to the country’s most enduring relationships. We love it […]
How do we celebrate Valentine’s Day in Colombia? Simply put, we don’t. Sure, restaurants will see increased traffic and florists in Colombia will sell more flowers, but generally it’s all a rather subdued affair. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It’s pretty normal for Latin Americans to change the name of Valentine’s Day to Amor y Amistad, but […]

Here are some of their most distinctive features: –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– * The first […]
Walk into any Colombian bar, house, club or even little shop on the street corner and you will be sure to find a bunch of merry Colombians chuckling away as they down shot after shot of aguardiente. For this is the country’s national spirit, which transcends social, racial, cultural and professional boundaries. It can be […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Well, I don’t know if you’re aware or not, but there’s a little thing called the Barranquilla Carnival starting this weekend. If you don’t know, now you know, blogger. So, in celebration of this massive excuse for Barranquilla (and the rest of the country lucky enough to make it) […]
We decided we needed something epic to celebrate our 500th post on this blog, and what could be more epic than a list of 500 reasons we love Colombia? –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is a country that has given us all so much, and we’re grateful to be able to give something back […]
Today marks my 2nd year living here in Bogotá. It’s been a pretty momentous couple of years ever since I landed, and it’s hard to commemorate in words. Instead, to mark to occassion, I leave you with a Colombia photo gallery from some of my travels around the country. Enjoy. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– […]
