So it’s Monday morning. Everyone hates Mondays right? Especially after the inevitable lazy Sunday spent trying to watch online movies through one bloodshot eye, drinking copious amounts of water in a fruitless attempt to shake off that killer guaro hangover… –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– No chance! Bogotá is not a city that lends itself to […]

It’s finally Friday, and to celebrate we’re bringing you another new gallery of pictures of Colombia. So here’s Day 7 and Off 2 Colombia’s fantastic photos of Colombia. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Off 2 Colombia was founded by Josian Chevallier and Mickael Teo, two French guys who left their successful careers in London to take a chance on […]
Have you ever seen a branch of Body Tech gym in Bogotá: all huge glass panes and beautiful people cycling furiously and not even sweating…its equal parts terrifying and depressing. Some of the independent street gyms aren’t much better: rusty equipment and men who make Schwarzenegger look like…well…me. All in all, the gym can be […]
Colombia has more than its fair share of stunning coastline – about 1,800km of Caribbean and 1,500km of Pacific to be unnecessarily precise. However, possibly the most beautiful corner of Colombia’s coastline is, in fact, right in the corner! Capurganá is a small town, accessible only by infrequent flights and daily speedboats, nestled away right […]
Thank God it’s Friday! And to celebrate (and really slow us down before we play football this afternoon), Paul and I have decided to introduce to you some of the weird and wonderful ‘delicacies’ which Colombians keep telling us we must try. However, we’re honest guys, so instead of just writing a casual introduction to […]

Well, never fear, because […]
–> 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 which few people outside the country are aware of. San Agustín is a […]
“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it” (Gabriel García Márquez) –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I once met Gabriel García Márquez’s biographer, who assured me (over a questionable plate of unagi) that Colombia’s best-loved writer was, in fact, the world’s best-loved writer. […]
Colombians love football. Almost as much as anything else. Whilst Colombian footballers may not have the international fame and prestige as some of their more well known Latin American counterparts, many people out here still firmly believe that if they make it to Brazil 2014 they have as good a chance as any side in […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is home to many incredible things: jaw-dropping scenery, gorgeous colonial architecture, some of the world’s best secluded beaches, but perhaps the greatest draw Colombia has is its unique flora and fauna. It is one of the world’s most bio diverse countries. However, it is Colombia’s remarkable birdlife which […]
