Cuando vine por primera vez a Bogotá tuve el placer de que me presentaran a Germán García Durán, quien me llevó en un tour con mis amigos a las afueras de Bogotá, visitando pueblos como Chía y recorriendo las carreteras llenas de curvas por las montañas aledañas. La vista era espectacular. Los bosques que subían […]

We were walking around the main square of Salento, a beautiful, traditional, colonial town in Colombia’s Coffee Region, with houses so colourful you feel as though you’re in a sweet factory. Children in identical outfits were running around the plaza, while old men wearing cowboy hats and denim stood in front of the village church, talking to each […]
Ya hemos de los siete aspectos de vivir en Colombia con los cuales personalmente nos quedamos sorprendidos cuando llegamos a nuestro país adoptivo. Así que pensamos en hacer una lista de lugares espectaculares, solo para mostrar lo completamente impredecible e increíble que este lugar es. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– 1. La Catedral de Sal, Zipaquira […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Drawing on walls isn´t particularly new. In fact, it´s often taken as one of the first readily-noticeable markers of human civilisation. From those horses in ancient French caves to mouthless gods in outback Australia, we´ve been articulating our beliefs, preoccupations, and joy on the walls at hand ever since. […]
As anyone who has ever read this blog or met me will know, I love Colombia. Simple as that. If I could marry her I would. But sadly I can’t and the best I can do is keep on waxing lyrical about every aspect of Colombia: the people, the landscapes, the biodiversity, the culture and […]
En 1760 un científico español llamado José Celestino Mutis vino a recorrer Colombia para explorar y documentar la flora y fauna de esta parte misteriosa y majestuosa de las Américas. En 1763 Mutis solicito a su patria natal que patrocinara su expedición y veinte largos años después, el rey le dio su aprobación. ¡Y Olé! […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– South America contains many archaeological treasures: lost cities hidden deep in the jungle, gigantic figures etched into the desert, a glittering array of gold and silver; but in the fertile green hills of southern Colombia is one ancient archaeological site which few people outside the country are aware of. San […]
I don´t know how to put this, but Colombia is kind of a big deal. We´ve been going on about how amazing this country is and how special travel in Colombia is for a few years now, and it´s quickly becoming obvious that the rest of the world is finally catching on. After seeing Bogotá […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– My home country is famous for how many beaches it´s home to. However, sadly, I grew up way out in the country, nowhere within sight of a real beach. Back in country Australia, where I’m from, beaches were sheets with a hose and tricks. Moving to Sydney […]
Una de las cosas que más me gusta de vivir y viajar por Colombia es la autenticidad de muchos de sus destinos. No tengo duda que el encantador Jardín sería un sitio para explotar turistas en cualquier otro país vecino, pero estando en Colombia – a tan solo 134 km desde Medellín – las personas en este […]
