Click here for our original Top 5 One Day Trips from Bogotá –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– We’ve been saying it for years here at the Colombia Travel Blog: Bogotá is more than just museums, restaurants, and culture…I mean, it is all those things (very much so), but the capital of Colombia has way more to […]
Caquetá department is perhaps one of Colombia’s most off-the-beaten-track and least visited regions. Generally more associated with violence and the Colombian conflict, Caquetá is currently in the process of developing its tourist infrastructure, and it turns out that there are some pretty amazing things to do in the southern jungle department.

We spent one great […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I’ve said it before on this blog, and I’ll say it again: I am a birdwatcher. As a 27 year old man, many people are surprised that I am so passionate about something so often associated with older people; however, living in a country like Colombia, with it’s world […]
–> 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 […]
