–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It’s Christmas Day, and I’m strolling along a gently winding path by the banks of a river. A family of pigs, a mother and five tiny piglets, are snuffling calmly in the undergrowth to my right. They are largely unperturbed as I pass by within a few feet of […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Guainia department, bordering Venezuela in the lush jungles of eastern Colombia, is home to many stunning natural and cultural attractions.

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– La versión de este post en castellano aquí : https://seecolombia.travel/blog/2016/05/como-viajar-de-manera-independiente-a-los-cerros-de-mavecure/ Thanks to the recent Oscar nomination (Colombia’s first) for the epic jungle feature El Abrazo de la Serpiente (‘The Embrace of the Serpent’), one Colombian adventure travel destination looks particularly set to benefit in 2016 and beyond: the Cerros de […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Writing about how to visit Mocoa in Colombia’s southern Putumayo department has become somewhat of a hobby and passion of mine – I have written blogs about hiking to the Fin del Mundo waterfalls, visiting the Paway Amazonian Ecological Center, and explaining the 10 reasons why you absolutely have […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Getsemaní used to be known for very different things: this burgeoning Cartagena neighborhood of music, street-art, food and tourism was once a no-go area, famous for drugs and crime; far from the cultural epicenter of Cartagena that it now represents. With featured pieces about the area on Forbes and […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Last month I wrote a blog post all about the Cano Cristales of Santander (that’s what I christened it anyway!) – this focused on the amazing red rivers flowing around the small town of Guadalupe in Santander department, and their similarity to the iconic Colombian attraction of Cano Cristales…the […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– There’s another puente (or Colombian national holiday) next weekend and, instead of heading a couple of hours away to tierra caliente, I have (happily) accepted the ‘offer’ to accompany some friends on another trip to Mocoa in Putumayo – my third this year!
