–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– San Jose del Guaviare has long been one of my top tips for adventurous travel in Colombia: there’s a red river that’s the double of Cano Cristales, remarkable 10,000-year-old rock paintings in the jungle, and amazing biodiversity. However, in May I had the opportunity to visit yet another spectacular […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I often feel like a broken record on this blog – I find myself constantly repeating the assertion that I have just visited one of my new favourite places in Colombia, that ‘X’ destination was unbelievably beautiful and undiscovered and it was my new top tip for Colombian travel […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– This Saturday, May 13, is a massive day for Colombia; a chance for the country to break a world record and make history. However, unless you, like me, are a binocular-sporting bird enthusiast it’s highly unlikely that you have this date triple-circled in red marker pen in your diary. […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– After El Cocuy National Park reopened to visitors earlier this month (complete information here) I started reminiscing about the incredible week I spent in the wild Andean park in December 2011, when it was still entirely open to tourists and the full 5 day trekking circuit was still a […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I went to see El Abrazo de la Serpiente in Bogota’s excellent alternative cinema, Cine Tonala (check out their website: they show a veriety of independent films from all over the world, serve cracking tacos, and host a weekly soul club!), just after it was first released in 2015 – yep, […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Once again the decision has been taken by the Colombian National Park service to close the most popular of their sites, Tayrona National Park, for a month. After previously closing the park for a month in November of 2015 after local indigenous groups, who consider the park to be […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– En 2015 escribí una entrada en el blog sobre “el Caño Cristales de Santander” (por lo menos así lo bautizó yo) que se centró en los asombrosos ríos rojos que hay alrededor del pueblo de Guadalupe en el departamento de Santander y su similitud a la icónica atracción colombiana de Caño […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Last year a film was released in Colombia that captured the public’s imagination and quickly broke national box-office records – the film was a high-budget and spectacular wildlife documentary named Colombia: Magia Salvaje. The film delved into Colombia’s remarkable biodiversity, with incredible footage of some of Colombia’s most iconic wildlife. […]
–> 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. Aunque no me crean, nunca he ido al famoso río que escapó […]
