You’ve probably heard of the Tomatina Festival in Buñol, Spain, before. It’s kind of a big deal. It’s that festival where a crowd of people systematically turn themselves into a giant tomatoey pizza (although not a Colombian pizza, which remain suspiciously tomato-free). It’s basically an excuse to chuck food around and not get in trouble for it. […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– This month Bogota is playing host to its very own month of music, or ‘Festival of Festivals’ as I’ve also seen it called. Basically, if you’re coming to Colombia (or you’re already here) this May you’re in for a magical, musical treat. Colombia isn’t exactly short of music on […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Last week marked the inauguration of Bogota’s annual International Book Fair. We even wrote a post about it: see! I was so inspired by my own descriptions of the Fair and its myriad delights that I went along on Saturday to see what all the fuss (that I was […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Today marks the first day of Bogota’s annual International Book Fair (FILBO). The festival will run for two weeks between April 29 and May 12, and takes place in Corferias, a large convention centre in the neighbourhood of Quintaparedes (Corferias address: Cra. 37 #24-67). Since the fair began in […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– If the Wanderlust strikes you this Easter week, but you really don’t feel like long religious processions between churches (beautiful and fascinating…but it’s a lot of walking, and we’re on holiday!), then there’s at least one rather alternative Colombian festival that you might be interested in…I’m talking, of course, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It’s Semana Santa! Holy Week is here finally – it’s one of Colombia’s biggest and most important holidays, and a great chance to travel around the country experiencing traditional Colombian cultural celebrations, of which there are many. One of the most iconic takes place in the town of Mompos, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– What an exciting time to be in Bogota right now! The 14th Annual Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro starts this coming Friday (more on that soon), promising an influx of drama, excitement and culture into our (mostly) fair city. But that’s not all we culture-vultures have to look forward to […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Whilst those of us here at See Colombia Towers have been forced to spend the weekend getting some serious mileage out of our already fairly battered umbrellas, those with the foresight to flee the capital for the coast over the last few days will have been able to enjoy […]
For the 2013 english version of this posts click here: San Valentine’s in Colombia 2013 –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– !Feliz día de San Valentín 2014 del equipo de See Colombia Travel ! Aunque el día de San Valentín no se suele celebrar aquí en Colombia, este es un país que se presta para el […]
The period between Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve, it’s just plain boring. Everyone is either on holiday or with their families, the streets are deserted and there’s nothing for you to do, right? Well, not in Colombia, people. The party-mad folk in Cali aren’t going to spend five days sitting around waiting for the […]
