This week we’re launching our galleries of pictures of Colombia. Throughout the week we’ll introduce you to our team of photographers who have travelled around collecting some fantastic photos of Colombia to bring to you. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– First up is Lachlan Page from Australia. Lachlan has spent the best part of his life traipsing around the […]

¡Hola a todos! –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Hoy es un día muy especial para mí y para nuestro blog. Hoy hace cinco años, contra el consejo de casi todo el mundo,  decidí dejar definitivamente Inglaterra y regresar a Colombia para cumplir mi sueño de trabajar para poner a nuestro país en la lista de […]

Thank God it’s Friday! And to celebrate (and really slow us down before we play football this afternoon), Paul and I have decided to introduce to you some of the weird and wonderful ‘delicacies’ which Colombians keep telling us we must try. However, we’re honest guys, so instead of just writing a casual introduction to […]

It seems congratulations are in order from everyone at See Colombia Travel to Colombian striker Radamel Falcao García Zárate (that’s Falcao to you and me) for his stunning performance in yesterdays Europa League final, confirming what we here at Colombia Travel Blog have long suspected about the awesome potential of Colombian football. Falcao has been all […]

Are you missing Colombia? Perhaps you travelled here a couple of months ago and are still feeling the withdrawal symptoms; maybe, like some of us here at Colombia Travel Blog, you lived for a while in this country and have headed home; or maybe you are Colombian and have relocated abroad.

San Agustín is a […]

Colombia had around 2 million foreign tourists in 2011, and experts are predicting this year to completely eclipse that already record breaking one: 4 million foreign tourists in 2012! Two of them were my parents…that’s right, my parents in Colombia! Compare that to 1998, when about 70,000 visited this country (definitely not including my parents), and you have some idea of […]

What do you get when you take a country with a selection of natural ingredients among the best in the world and mix it with an increasingly cosmopolitan cultural scene? Why, the exciting and developing world of Bogotá gastronomy. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– If you travel to Bogotá you’ll find a wealth of surprising […]

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it” (Gabriel García Márquez) –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <–   I once met Gabriel García Márquez’s biographer, who assured me (over a questionable plate of unagi) that Colombia’s best-loved writer was, in fact, the world’s best-loved writer.

Colombians love football. Almost as much as anything else. Whilst Colombian footballers may not have the international fame and prestige as some of their more well known Latin American counterparts, many people out here still firmly believe that if they make it to Brazil 2014 they have as good a chance as any side in […]
