The biggest piece of graffiti on Bogota´s giant art gallery on 26th Street is of a weedy, bespectacled young man with a smart, somewhat ironic expression. Not really the profile of your traditional Colombian hero. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Your usual brand of hero – both here in Colombia and in the world […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The beaches may be crazy, but what Colombia´s major cities seem to be crazy about is their malls. Even though these centres of commerce are rather liberally dispersed throughout each metropolis and reach frankly titanic proportions, you´ll still find them absolutely choc-a-bloc any given Saturday. Their crisp white interiors […]
Here at See Colombia Travel, we spend a lot of time banging on about the beauty and charm of Colombia’s many fascinating colonial towns. Sure, Villa de Leyva’s cobbled square and quaint streets have rightly made it one of Colombia’s main tourist destinations. Barichara’s red roofs and abundance of –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– pretty […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Drawing on walls isn´t particularly new. In fact, it´s often taken as one of the first readily-noticeable markers of human civilisation.

En 1763 Mutis solicito a su patria natal que patrocinara su expedición y veinte largos años después, el rey le dio su aprobación. ¡Y Olé! […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– South America contains many archaeological treasures: lost cities hidden deep in the jungle, gigantic figures etched into the desert, a glittering array of gold and silver; but in the fertile green hills of southern Colombia is one ancient archaeological site which few people outside the country are aware of. San […]
I don´t know how to put this, but Colombia is kind of a big deal. We´ve been going on about how amazing this country is and how special travel in Colombia is for a few years now, and it´s quickly becoming obvious that the rest of the world is finally catching on. After seeing Bogotá […]
Una de las cosas que más me gusta de vivir y viajar por Colombia es la autenticidad de muchos de sus destinos. No tengo duda que el encantador Jardín sería un sitio para explotar turistas en cualquier otro país vecino, pero estando en Colombia – a tan solo 134 km desde Medellín – las personas en este […]
As this Sunday is that oh-so-romantic day “El DIa de Amor y Amistad” in Colombia, I thought it was worth bringing this one out of the archives. Maybe you’ll be inspired and be taken away by the romance of it all, maybe you’ll moan and groan about the artificial and commercial nature of the celebration […]
