–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Read the English version of this post here: “Caño Cristales’ long-lost twin – Tranquilandia in Guaviare” He desarrollado una costumbre extraña de tropezarme con ríos de color rojo que no son Caño Cristales durante mis viajes en Colombia.

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Boyacá department (the department just north of Bogotá) isn’t exactly undervisited by tourists and travellers, mainly because it’s home to the iconic pueblo patrimonio of Villa de Leyva, a must-visit spot on many people’s Colombian travel lists (and rightly so, it’s gorgeous).

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia gained a new idol this past weekend. Nairo Quintana was already incredibly popular in his homeland before he rode to victory in the ‘Vuelta a Espana’ cycling race on Sunday, but his victory has catapulted him to a new level of adoration in Colombia. I’ve even heard people […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Santander has long been one of my favourite Colombian departments – there’s a lot on offer for tourists and travellers there: extreme sports in San Gil, Colombia’s largest and most spectacular canyon, the delightful colonial pueblos of Barichara, Socorro, Guane and Giron; not to mention surreal red rivers in […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– La versión de este post en castellano aquí: “Esto NO ES Caño Cristales – Tranquilandia en Guaviare” I’ve developed a bit of a weird niche habit of stumbling across red rivers that aren’t Caño Cristales during my travels in Colombia.
