Through no fault of its own, Cali has been a little neglected of late here at SCT. As a small way to begin to compensate this lack, here´s a blast from the past from my beloved compatriate, Sarah. Shake it, Cali. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– 1. Salsa You cannot travel to Cali […]
Tag: The Best of Colombia
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I am often asked what it is about living in Colombia that has me hooked and unable to leave. Sure, the startling array of landscapes and places to visit is one aspect, as are the relative cost of living, the music and the ease with which one can travel […]
Although the situation has improved a lot in the past few years, the hotel industry in Colombia is, in many aspects, still in its infancy. This is particularly owing to a blurry set of rules regarding the stars rating, and the local widespread – and mistaken- perception that any property that bears less than four […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Welcome, Monday. Ugh. It can be a struggle to make it through days like this, especially if you´re not in Colombia, so the team here at the SCT towers have come up with 8 pretty dumb things about Colombia we found kinda interesting or funny. Enjoy! 1. The […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Well, we done warned you plenty. We told you Colombia was going to be the place to be. Now it´s too late for you to be able to say (like we can – but, which still doesn´t make us hipsters, btw): ¨Oh yeah, going to Colombia? Ya – I did that […]

In particular, it sometimes appears that some residents of the two major Colombian cities, […]
It’s no secret that Bogotá loves to party. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The Bogotano bar-hopper/club-goer is spoilt for choice. You can choose to down spirituous liquor at crazy underground dives, cooler-than-cool hipster joints, or swanky cocktail lounges. Anything from cheap and raucously cheerful to outrageously decadent establishments are just waiting for your patronage. >> […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Football? Cricket? Angry Birds? Well I´ve heard that they´re OK, but they are missing a couple of things. For one thing, there aren´t enough real explosions in any of them. Any Michael Bay could tell you that to make any good thing into a great thing, all you need to […]
We spend a lot of time trying to show people that Colombia isn’t just beaches and coffee. Sometimes, though, you’ve just got to sit back and admit that if it were just beaches, it’d still be a pretty stunning place to visit. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Take these photos. Phwoar. Barranquilla […]
