A year ago today I was on board a plane heading towards South America. It was three days after my eldest brothers wedding, meaning I’d had a good opportunity to say goodbye to my entire family; those from London, those from Sheffield, and those from all other corners of England. It also meant everything I […]
Category: Colombian Beaches
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– For many people, Colombia is the first place they come to having done a trip through Central America. I meet many people who have done this (and many people who have subsequently decided to stay in Colombia, but that’s a different story) and I also hear from many people […]
I don’t know if you’ve been over to See Colombia Travel‘s homepage, but there’s a great deal going on there. One of my favourite sections is undoubtedly the photo section because not only does it give me a good opportunity to look at some beautiful photos of Colombia, but it brings together a small artistic […]
Not long now until the 2011 FIFA U20s World Cup commences, and so we at Colombia Travel Blog are down to the big three (in terms of tourism): Bogotá, Medellín and Cartagena.

Tolú is a small, lively village on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. It’s notable for its beautiful beaches, its nearby tropical islands, and for the volume of the music the locals play as they cycle around town. Yes, you read that right, as they cycle. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– In Tolú cars are dinosaurs of the […]
