Tallest Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia has a number of amazing statistics: some of the world’s greatest biodiversity, nearly 20% of all known bird species, the most amphibians, around half of all the known ecosystems on the planet. There are so many enviable numbers associated with Colombia that it’s tough to narrow anything down […]

Tejo Colombia

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Tejo is one of those things that nobody really believes in outside of Colombia: try telling people that the national sport of the country you live in involves chucking metal lumps at gunpowder whilst getting slowly (and often compulsorily) drunk, and they often won’t believe you, or at least […]

Colombian pesos

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– For people new to Colombia one of the first big challenges can be getting used to the new currency: how much is each bill and coin worth; which is especially valuable and which is pocket change; who is that guy with the excellent mustache on the blue note? I’ve […]
