Medellín has a lot going for it, doesn’t it? We know the people are said to be the friendliest in the country, but there’s so much more to the City of Eternal Spring than that. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The changes Medellín has gone through in such a short time are unbelievable, and its […]

Oh Bogotá, you’ve stolen my heart with this one and you are more forward-thinking than you know! –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– As a reasonably active person, it was with great delight and surprise that I discovered Bogotá’s Ciclovia.

I realize I’m terribly unprepared for my four-day trek to the La Ciudad Perdida, The Lost City, in the Sierra Nevada as soon as I get into the van that’s taking us to the starting point. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– How do I know? Well for starters, when I get into the van and […]

Working in the travel business has its perks. One such perk is being able to travel. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Sara, one of the See Colombia Travel team, recently went to Nariño, way over in the South West of Colombia. She brought back with her a load of information (coming soon) and quite a […]
