Palms and Willies: Colombia’s Spectacular Cocora Valley.

Paul Giles July 11, 2013

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Before I go any further with this post, I want to clear up something straight away. In what follows, when I use the term, “Willy,” I mean this:     I don’t mean this:     or anything else you may happen to be thinking. I hope I’ve made […]

Travelling to Colombia with Children – The Essential Guide (Part 3 Cartagena).

Paul Giles June 20, 2013

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– OK, shoppers, so what do we have to do to convince you to come to Colombia with your kids? How about we start off with the surprisingly cosmopolitan metropolis of Bogota? Is it London? Is it Seoul? Is it actually the capital of Colombia? You decide. But if you […]

The Anglophone World: Don’t Come to Colombia!

Paul Giles May 30, 2013

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The featured photo is of one of the most incredible, beautiful and unique natural phenomena in the entire world. Caño Cristales, the River of Seven Colours, has to be seen to be believed. No other place in the world comes close to it. BRITS, CANADIANS, AUSTRALIANS AND KIWIS: DO […]

The Hammock Vision – Camping in Tayrona.

Paul Giles May 21, 2013

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Although it was a little fuzzy around the edges, one aspect of the vision was clear. A canvas hammock swaying, back and forth, back and forth. Me in this hammock swaying, back and forth, back and forth. In my vision, a smile on my face – I’d finally found […]

Travel Tips: Finding your way around Tayrona National Park.

Paul Giles April 29, 2013

As most anyone will tell you, Tayrona is blessed with some of the most beautiful, jungle-fringed beaches around. This fact alone means that not visiting this extraordinary park means you’re really missing out. So, it’s settled that you’re going, right? Well, as you’ve been so obliging as to agree with me, I think it’s only […]

Cowboy Dreams in Colombia’s Coffee Triangle.

Paul Giles November 28, 2012

Just like that more infamous triangle around Bermuda, it’s easy to get lost in the charms of Colombia’s Coffee Triangle. In particular, the environs around the little town of Salento are so beautiful, one could easily spend weeks there just basking in their glory. This is something Colombians have known for a good while, as […]

Guest Post: Laura Pollard on Adventure and Travel in San Gil

Paul Fowler November 20, 2012

During my Colombia travels I met a lot of people who all raved about San Gil.  Known as the ‘Adventure Sports Capital’ of Colombia, the town offers travellers a variety of options from rafting to bungee-jumping, as well as boasting a cute little plaza and cathedral, and a beautiful park alongside the Rio Fonte.  From […]

Day-Trips from Bogotá: The Legend of El Dorado, Lake Guatavita

Paul Fowler October 16, 2012

Guatavita is a small pueblo about 75km from Bogotá characterized by colonial whitewash buildings and a wealth of arts and crafts stalls. It’s a peaceful excursion from the bustling city and a great place to pick up lunch and wander around, picking up souvenirs and snacks along the way. It’s a romantic pueblo and is a popular […]

Sarah September 24, 2012

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 […]
