–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– As we keep on telling you, Medellín is awesome. Especially during the Flower Festival. It´s a funny coincidence, but it just so happens that official precedings kick off today. Don´t panic, though: if you haven´t lugged your pack to the City of Eternal Spring (and partays), you haven´t missed […]
So, despite Mr and Mrs Smith’s experience there, Bogota turns out to be a pretty good spot for kids, right? Guess what?

One of the things I like the most about living and traveling in Colombia is the authenticity of many of its destinations. In any other neighboring country, I have no doubt that the charming Jardin (literally: Garden) would be a tourist trap, but being in Colombia – and only 134 km from Medellin – people […]
It is the fourth time I’ve been to Medellin. The other times were 4-5 days visits and I always left with the feeling that I was leaving too soon; that there was too much going on to actually understand the dynamics of this amazing city that in just a few years went from murder capital […]
