–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– As much as well love Colombia here at the Colombia Travel Blog (and we do, you know we do!), sometimes we have to accept that not all of you who travel through our adopted homeland plan on staying indefinitely (your loss I say); many of you will move on […]

–> 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) <– Colombia, I’m sure you realise by now, boasts ridiculous levels of diversity – whether it be fauna, flora, landscapes, or culture. One of the most fun expressions of this world-famous diversity is the myriad of accents you’ll hear when you come to Colombia. It’s claimed that the Spanish spoken […]
Now, I rarely impress anyone. My mum won’t even really watch me when I do something really cool like balance on one leg or wave my arms around a bit. I thought I’d just put that out there just in case you think I’m trying to give myself airs with the title of the piece. […]

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 […]
Bueno no sé si saben pero hay una fiesta muy importante en el país conocida como el Carnaval de Barranquilla, la cual se lleva a cabo cada año en el mes de Febrero. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Si no la conocías, por lo menos ya escuchaste de ella. Esta es una celebración masiva en […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I like to think I´m a big fan of cartoons of all persuasions because of the deep philosophical implications of their themes and the surprising manner in which they delve into the contemporary weltanschauung. It´s not because I´ve never grown up, and have nothing better to do with my […]
Producing the best expression of a traditional dish is all about realising potential. How many times have you bitten into an arepa, and thought “I see what they’re trying to do here, but they didn’t quite get there?” That question was directed at you, Paul Fowler. I’ve often had the same feeling when it comes to […]
–> 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 […]
