Last week we wrote about Capurgana on Colombia’s Caribbean coast in the department of the Chocó: today we are staying firmly in that department, but heading south towards the Pacific coast; one of Colombia’s least visited areas, and almost certainly the least visited stretch of coastline. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– To start with, the […]

Colombia has more than its fair share of stunning coastline – about 1,800km of Caribbean and 1,500km of Pacific to be unnecessarily precise. However, possibly the most beautiful corner of Colombia’s coastline is, in fact, right in the corner! Capurganá is a small town, accessible only by infrequent flights and daily speedboats, nestled away right […]

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– South America contains many archaeological treasures: lost cities hidden deep in the jungle, gigantic figures etched into the desert, a glittering array of gold and silver; but in the fertile green hills of southern Colombia is one which few people outside the country are aware of. San Agustín is a […]

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is home to many incredible things: jaw-dropping scenery, gorgeous colonial architecture, some of the world’s best secluded beaches, but perhaps the greatest draw Colombia has is its unique flora and fauna. It is one of the world’s most bio diverse countries. However, it is Colombia’s remarkable birdlife which […]

Hi, I’m Chris! I have been living in Colombia for the last 8 months, teaching, travelling and trying to experience all that this wonderful country has to offer. I’m really excited to be joining the See Colombia team, and I’m looking forward to sharing some of the joys of Colombia with you.  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is a country of breathtaking diversity. You can hike snow-capped mountains, explore the Amazon rainforest, relax on Caribbean beaches and that’s just to start. Last week I went to Tatacoa Desert for the first time – another type of landscape to add to Colombia’s already impressive list. Arriving to […]

I remember traveling to Sri Lanka some years ago and being told that no matter how poor people were, going hungry was very rare as the abundance of fruit the country had to offer ensured there was always something to eat. Now I’m not sure if that’s the same here in Colombia, but certainly there’s an […]

For the traveller, life is much harder than those back at home seem to think. Sure, it looks like we’re relaxing in Tayrona National Park without a care in the world but actually we’re planning our trip, budgeting, doing administration work and implementing time management skills. If anything, we should be getting paid while we […]

There are some rivalries in history that eclipse trifling matters such as War, Religion, Independence and History; where issues such as Right and Left, Suppression and Liberty, Governments and Control are forgotten. Mere incidentals in the face of the bigger picture; the bigger issues. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– We’re talking important questions like: Who […]

I’m writing at the moment from the UK, where I’ve returned for the Christmas period. It’s the first time a lot of my friends have seen me for a while. After the usual small-talk a couple of talking points usually crop up. First, ‘is it safe out there?’, and second, ‘I thought you’d be more […]
