–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I’m currently visiting Santander department: famous for it’s extreme sports, pretty colonial towns, and gastronomy.

The word ‘Amazon’ comes from the nation of all female warriors first described by Greek historian Herodotus; the first European to sail the river, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– There’s nothing to get the old blood stirring like a good ripping chat about the weather in Colombia. Hot! Cold! Rain! I mean, it’s fairly emotive stuff, when you think about it. OK OK, well, I’ll concede that such talk is as boring as that substance bats exude in their batcaves. […]
As we mentioned last week, Colombians are crazy for Christmas. Lights, nativity scenes and massive sculptures are just some of the things you might encounter if you spend Christmas in Colombia. Today we wanted to share some snaps we took of the Christmas decorations in Bogota, feel free to share any more you may have! […]
When you mention travelling in Colombia, most people’s minds will immediately go to images of colonial gems like Cartagena, bustling metropolises such as Bogotá or idyllic beaches like the ones you’ll find in Tayrona National Park.
