Yesterday we wrote about how Colombia is becoming the hottest travel destination of 2012. With increased press coverage, many people are beginning to see the truth about travel to Colombia: it’s safe, it’s affordable and it’s unforgettable. For those hardened travellers that relish the opportunity to explore undiscovered lands, however, this growth in popularity isn’t necessarily […]
Tag: Colombia Off The Beaten Track
Last year our friends at Off2Colombia travelled to La Guajira in Colombia and gathered some truly remarkable footage of the region. It’s a little explored place on earth thanks to it being difficult to reach, but we hope with the help of their video more people will be drawn to exploring the area. It’s thanks to […]
We at the Colombia Travel Blog are often asked what to do when you only have 24 hours in Bogota, and also about day trips from the big city. One fantastic option is Parque Natural Chicaque which, depending on the day, is just 30-60 minutes away. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Parque Natural Chicaque is […]
One of Colombia‘s most important exports is its coffee. Over 10 million bags of coffee are exported every year from Colombia, to areas such as Japan, Australia, Europe and the US. Colombia is up with Vietnam and Brazil as one of the world’s most popular coffee producers, and the country has a reputation as one […]
Much like your back, Colombia is full of hard-to-reach places that, if you manage to get to, are some of the most amazing, most indescribable places to itch – Uh… go. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– We’ve looked at Tatacoa Desert and how to travel to the Amazon in Colombia by boat, and those are undoubtedly two highlights.

San Agustin Archaeological Park is an amazing collection of Pre-Columbian head stones in a huge natural area of southern Colombia (a region that itself is well worth you visiting). It’s actually bigger than, for instance, the Machu Picchu National Park in Peru. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– So, with this in mind, we thought we’d […]

Nonetheless, tourism increases all the time and for those who like to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in Robinson Crusoe-style adventure, the growing popularity of […]
Some months ago, through Trip Advisor I met an Argentinean girl called Lorena that just had moved to Colombia and she started visiting my Colombia Travel Blog regularly. Amongst many other questions she asked me there was one that caught my attention, she wanted to know how to get to a place she’d heard mentioned […]
Many visitors to Medellín are struck by its modernity and progressiveness. Traditional, colonial buildings are in short supply since everything is so new, which is part of the charm of visiting but still, sometimes you want a healthy dose of whitewash buildings and cobblestone streets. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Enter Santa Fe de Antioquia, […]
