Finally it has happened. After years of searching and countless disappointments, I’ve found the holy grail of curry in Bogotà: The Little Indian Superstar. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– While Dhaba, found near the centre of the city, offers pretty authentic tasting curries, its location and set-up (it’s basically in someone’s garage) make it less-than-ideal […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Even before the glory days of the 80s, where Tom Cruise, blue drinks, poor taste, and douchebags reigned supreme, cocktails have raised the crude act of downing booze into a delicate, intricate art-form. Or maybe I’m just saying that to justify this post. Well, in the spirit […]
If you are an avid reader of our Colombia Travel Blog, you may know that a few of us aren’t particularly fond of arepas – read the whole sordid tale for yourself here in the Great Arepa Debate. And although I’d admit to liking a regular old paisa arepa once in a while, I’d find […]

We’d like to welcome on board the guys at 2sporks1cup, who travelled to Colombia this year. This Aussie and Colombian couple kept their blog diligently updated through their travels and continue to update now they’re back in the land of Oz.

A couple of days ago I was invited to a Novenas to take part in a tradition that is truly unique to Colombia and parts of Venezuela and Ecuador. My experience of the celebration suggests that it is a gathering of the whole family (and a random Arab) at one of the family members’ houses […]
The world over, Christmas customs are pretty much defined by the food we eat. Sure, it’s a religious affair, a commercial conundrum and a month of flashy Christmas lights. But really it’s the food that we eat around Christmas that gives us that feeling of sharing and hope and home. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– […]

And it’s all coming out now, and it’s you, Plantain, that’s to blame. You hear that, huh? –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Before coming to Colombia, I […]
