Jardin Antioquia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– One of the things I have loved the most about traveling in Colombia has been the country’s remarkable ability to keep surprising me; each time I think my personal ‘best places I’ve been in Colombia’ list must surely be impregnable to newcomers, I visit somewhere else that insists on muscling […]

La Victoria Caldas Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I recently took a last-minute trip to the small town of Victoria in the very south of Caldas department (so far south in fact, that much of the landscape you can see in these photos is actually Tolima), ostensibly in search of birds (the forests above the town are […]

San Andres Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The small Caribbean island of San Andres, whilst technically part of Colombia, lies just 70km from the coast of Nicaragua and is, along with it’s neighboring island of Providencia, one of Colombia’s most stunning Caribbean regions. With it’s breathtaking ‘Sea of Seven Colors’, rich cultural heritage and marvelous diving […]

Casa Elemento Minca Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Following on from yesterday’s post about Casa Elemento hostel in Minca, which I declared has the best hostel view in Colombia, I got to thinking about what it is that makes a really great hostel…sure, there’s things like value for money, good service and an easy booking procedure, but […]

Tubing San Cipriano Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– We’ve written previously about the experience of arriving in San Cipriano on the town’s famous brujitas: motorbikes strapped to wooden benches, zipping along train tracks through the Pacific jungle…and I’ll bet you thought that the town couldn’t possibly get any better than it’s iconic mode of transport…well, you’re wrong! And here’s […]

Los Estoraques Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Norte de Santander department, located, you guessed it, north of Santander on the Venezuelan border, isn’t really an overly visited Colombian department…it seems to fall between the gaps of the people who visit Santander for San Gil and Barichara, and those heading to the coast in Santa Marta and […]
