So Valentine’s Day is almost here and, love it or hate it, it’s pretty much unavoidable. Not ones to shy away from big, commercial holidays – and although Colombia’s version of Valentine’s day “El dia del amor y la amistad” is months away- we decided to embrace the thing full-on and bring you some very […]

You know, every day at the Colombia Travel Blog we have someone ask us: ‘What song should I play on Valentines Day (or El Dia del Amor y La Amistad) when I’m trying to woo a Colombian?’ (full disclosure: no-one has ever asked that). Well, we send them a song or two and undoubtedly, with […]
Dance Salsa For us rigidly-hipped, socially awkward Brits just a passing brush of the shoulder can be awkward, nevermind full on, face-to-face body contact with someone of the opposite sex! But, such is the life in South America and you better get used to it. No experience in Colombia is complete without dancing just a […]
So we’ve heard what people from all around the world have said about why you should come to Colombia, and we at the Colombia Travel Blog have made our feelings pretty clear, too. We’re also part of a group of Official Travel Bloggers in Colombia that includes over 30 expats from all over the world […]

We […]
Yesterday in Bogota was one of those rare days in a big city where you feel everyone is pulling together to make it nice – even the weatherman. Not only was the sun shining, but everyone was out walking, cycling and generally feeling good since it was No Cars Day. This means only buses and […]
There are places in Colombia of sweeping, breathtaking beauty that defy the typical image of the country as a tropical paradise. El Cocuy, a place where snow decorates the mountain peaks, is one of them. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Our friends at Off2Colombia recently filmed a video of their ascent of the Nevado del […]
From above they must be yellow blurs, careening between multicoloured dots and somehow avoiding contact. From roadside they can be seen swaying between cars and buses, stopping and starting as quickly as their passenger’s pulses. From inside a taxi you’ll see little more than your life flashing before your eyes every time the driver darts […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– In much of Latin America what we know as Valentines Day is known as ‘El Dia del Amor y La Amistad’. In Colombia it’s no different, except that when we’re all celebrating on February 14th, those crazy Colombianos will only be doing something special if they happen to have […]
