–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– This Saturday, May 13, is a massive day for Colombia; a chance for the country to break a world record and make history. However, unless you, like me, are a binocular-sporting bird enthusiast it’s highly unlikely that you have this date triple-circled in red marker pen in your diary. […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I first visited Santander department in 2014 and it has remained one of my favourite departments ever since: I have been fortunate enough to return many times over the past 3 years and last month I had the welcome chance to return again. I was invited on a press […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– This is a guest post by Di Michelle, a digital marketer and world traveller currently exploring South America, and blogging about it on her travel blog ‘Slight North’. Over the next few months she will be sharing photographic tales of her Colombian travels with the Colombia Travel Blog through […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– After El Cocuy National Park reopened to visitors earlier this month (complete information here) I started reminiscing about the incredible week I spent in the wild Andean park in December 2011, when it was still entirely open to tourists and the full 5 day trekking circuit was still a […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The stunning El Cocuy National Park, which has been completely closed to visitors since February 2016, is set to reopen, albeit only partially, this Thursday, April 6.

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I went to see El Abrazo de la Serpiente in Bogota’s excellent alternative cinema, Cine Tonala (check out their website: they show a veriety of independent films from all over the world, serve cracking tacos, and host a weekly soul club!), just after it was first released in 2015 – yep, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– My introduction to the wonderful world of craft beer in Bogotá actually starts with a cold can of Poker. It seems like an odd way to begin a tour that promises to show off the very best of the city’s burgeoning craft beer scene, but there’s method to the ‘madness’ – […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is a stunningly diverse country, the second most biodiverse country on earth in fact. It’s also home to many landscapes and destinations that most people have never heard, and would never have imagined were in one country. Most travel guides only deal with less than 50% of the […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I love birds. I am a birder: I have been known to stand in the pouring Pacific rain for over 3 hours waiting for the arrival of a small bird in a distant tree. True story: it was the endemic […]
