“I feel that I’m a native of any country in Latin America” – Gabriel Garcia Marquez. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Whilst this statement may be true, Colombian literary hero Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Gabo for short) was in fact born in the small town of Aracataca, a stiflingly hot and dusty place in the banana […]
So my time at See Colombia Travel is coming to an end. By this time tomorrow I’ll be sitting on a beach, tucking into my second or third ice-cold Aguila of the day, and pondering the eternal question: should I have fish or fish for lunch? It’s always a tough call… –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) […]
Last week we wrote about Capurgana on Colombia’s Caribbean coast in the department of the Chocó: today we are staying firmly in that department, but heading south towards the Pacific coast; one of Colombia’s least visited areas, and almost certainly the least visited stretch of coastline. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– To start with, the […]
