I'm Chris and I'm the Colombia Travel Blog's resident Colombia travel expert and our editor. In nearly 4 years in the country, I have visited 31 of Colombia's 32 departments, and that last 1 is on the way! Colombia has been my home for years and I'm still not bored of exploring its diversity and magic, and getting to know its wonderful people.

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia has a number of amazing statistics: some of the world’s greatest biodiversity, nearly 20% of all known bird species, the most amphibians, around half of all the known ecosystems on the planet. There are so many enviable numbers associated with Colombia that it’s tough to narrow anything down […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Tejo is one of those things that nobody really believes in outside of Colombia: try telling people that the national sport of the country you live in involves chucking metal lumps at gunpowder whilst getting slowly (and often compulsorily) drunk, and they often won’t believe you, or at least […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia has a number of well-known, popular hikes that travelers here can enjoy: El Cocuy and the Lost City being the most famous. However, in the countryside around Bogota there are numerous incredible day-hikes available which are generally fairly unknown and under-explored. One of these is the hike to […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– See Colombia Travel has been posting about the joys of Colombia for several years now, and we have a very important milestone approaching (I’m not telling you what it is yet, but let’s just say, there’s a big number involved!). To celebrate this milestone we are putting together a […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I have loved birds since I was a little boy growing up in Shropshire in England. I used to have a little green bird-book that I studied meticulously so I could learn what they all looked like, and, on weekends (assuming I was good), my parents and I would […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– As this past Monday was a holiday here in Colombia (as it seems every other weekend is sometimes!) I decided not to sit around sleeping off the inevitable novelty-Sunday-party hangover, but do some research for this blog instead (so professional!), and enjoy a day at one of Bogota’s most […]
