One of the things I like the most about living and traveling in Colombia is the authenticity of many of its destinations.

Tag: Colombia Off The Beaten Track
I love Bogotá, I love the energy, the buzz in the air, I love the hipsters in Chapinero and the small tiendas, I love sitting in a café and people watching, I love the public displays of affection, the longboarders riding down the street, the runners on the ciclovia, the business men in suits licking […]
When the six-year-old in front of you goes on one of the biggest ziplines in South America, without so much as batting an eyelid, you know you have to hold it together. I wanted so badly to squeal, I was shaking, but, if a six-year-old can do it, I can too right? –> Colombia Dolar […]
“Calima is just a lake,” one very ill-informed friend once told me. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– “Just a lake? Just a lake!?” I said, in horror. Oh no, Calima Lake is more than just a lake – it’s one of the largest man-made lakes in Colombia, it is a lux vacation spot, a great […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Valledupar isn’t the most attractive city in the world. While its main square is large and lined with trees, other streets can be found strewn with garbage that rots in the incessant, irrepentant heat. Many areas are industrious, dizzyingly chaotic and lacking in any real significant charm that might […]
Pereira is one of the three cities that make up the Coffee Triangle in Antioquia, Colombia. Like neighbouring cities Armenia and Manizales, Pereira is surrounded by stunning, varied scenery and boasts incredible natural resources. The city is surrounded by the Otun an Consota Rivers and looming over the horizon are the snow-capped peaks of Los Nevados National Natural Park. […]
Manizales is called ‘The City of Open Doors’. A beautifully located city with a buzzing nightlife, it’s one of Colombia’s most exciting cities to visit and, yet, remains delightfully off-the-beaten track. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Manizales is the capital of the Caldas department and, along with Armenia and Pereira, forms what is known as […]
