En un caso raro, mi madre, que es mi amiga en Facebook (¿a qué ha llegado este mundo?) Comentó una foto mía de mi reciente visita a Pasto y alrededores. Encontré esto extraño, ya que rara vez comenta mis fotos. Me puse a pensar por qué podría ser esto y descubrí algo sobre el contenido. […]

Colombia is absolutely chock-a-block (translation for non-native English speakers: full of) with islands: it’s the only country in South America that has both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, and lots of coast means lots of islands. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– And we’re not talking windswept, weather-beaten, inaccessible rocks here (although there are a fair few […]
On a rare occurrence, my mother, who is my friend on Facebook (what has this world come to?) commented on a picture of me from my recent visit to Pasto and surrounds. I found this odd, as she rarely comments on my pictures. I got to thinking about why this could be and discovered something […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Let’s get this out of the way now; yes, Colombia has a lot of churches…it’s a Catholic country, so there’s no shortage. And yes, some might say that other Colombian churches are more iconic that Las Lajas Sanctuary in Narino department: the churches of Mompos or Popayan, Bogota’s cathedral, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– ‘The End of the World‘, ‘Gateway to the Amazon‘…’The Trampoline of Death’; Mocoa does produce some dramatic names, doesn’t it?! But whilst the Trampoline of Death conjures up images of some nightmarish, dystopian children’s birthday party gone awry, it is in fact the ‘affectionate’ (but not so much) nickname […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Recuerdo claramente el día que vi, por primera vez, la foto del Santuario de las Lajas. Quedé impresionada. Y es que su belleza arquitectónica solo podía competir con el impresionante escenario donde se levantaba. Pero había algo más que me hizo, en ese mismo momento, anotarlo en mi “bucket […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Well, yesterday we brought you seven aspects of Colombia we personally were suprised to find when we got here. Being the lazy sods, we threw it over to you to make it a nice round ten. The ever-helpful Steph of Discovering Ice fame rocketed right back with not one, not […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– While no-one wants to ignore the long stretches of beautiful coastline that it has, there is far much more to a visit to Colombia than merely toasting yourself in the sun and occasionally taking a dip. From snow-capped mountains to Mars-esque desert landscapes, Colombia boasts an overwhelming amount of variety. Here […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The featured photo is of one of the most incredible, beautiful and unique natural phenomena in the entire world. Caño Cristales, the River of Seven Colours, has to be seen to be believed. No other place in the world comes close to it. BRITS, CANADIANS, AUSTRALIANS AND KIWIS: DO […]
We decided we needed something epic to celebrate our 500th post on this blog, and what could be more epic than a list of 500 reasons we love Colombia? –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is a country that has given us all so much, and we’re grateful to be able to give something back […]
