Día 8
Quepos
24 de febrero de 2023, Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Took a private shuttle to Quepos, which annoyingly left us on the side of the road instead of dropping us at our accommodation. We spent a day hiking through Manuel Antonio National Park where we saw sloths, snakes, frogs, monkeys and lots of birds. We spent the rest of our time here taking it slow by sleeping in, reading and swimming.Leer más

Cartagena
2 de marzo de 2023, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 31 °C
We have arrived in Cartagena! Getting here was an unwanted adventure which involved us sprinting through Panama Airport (thankfully we had running shoes on and backpacks only so we clocked 5min/kms). We spent our time here exploring the pretty streets of the Old City and Getsemani, the fortress and different coffee shops.Leer más

Día 20
Medellin
8 de marzo de 2023, Colombia
Took an overnight bus from Cartagena to Medellin (was meant to be 13.5hrs, ended up being 17hrs!). We arrived very tired and hungry, but very excited to explore this city! We stayed at a hostel in Poblado, right next to all the clubs and restaurants (big mistake, way too loud). Spent a few days exploring Communa 13 and learning about the history of Medellin. The locals are very proud of their metro system (which works really well) and don't like talking about Pablo Escobar (so as not to give him more fame than he deserves).

We were offered cocaine and weed by every street vendor selling lollies (lol no thank you), sadly saw a lot of poverty and homelessness (particularly young indigenous girls) on the door steps of extreme wealth and saw more prostitutes than I have ever seen in my life.

We also went to a soccer game (Atletico Nacionale (Medellin) vs Millionarios (Bogota)). The crowd was wild and super passionate and it was pretty overwhelming!Leer más

Día 26
Salento and Valle de Cocora
14 de marzo de 2023, Colombia ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
After a 5 hour delay due to bad weather, we flew from Medellin to Armenia. We caught 2 public buses to make it to our destination in Salento - it was a lot easier and cheaper than trying to take a taxi. I'm starting to feel like we're getting the hang of this travelling thing! We spent our first afternoon here wandering the town and Mirador, before having dinner and playing some tejo.

The next day, we woke up early to hike in Valle de Cocora with a German couple (Svenja and Heiko) that we'd met on our bus from Cartagena to Medellin and who happened to be staying at the same guesthouse. The day started off dry, but the rain set in around lunchtime, right before we arrived at the iconic wax palms, and we were absolutely drenched by the time we finished the hike. We returned to Salento hoping for a hot shower, only to be told there was no running water in the whole town because of the rain (which was ironic, really).Leer más

Día 27
Bogota*
15 de marzo de 2023, Colombia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We left Salento for our final destination in Colombia - the capital city of Bogota. We arrived in Bogota after a very long and bumpy bus ride (was meant to be 6.5hrs and was 9hrs). I think the lesson learnt is that you always need to add at least 2hrs to the advertised length of the bus journey in South America. We're pretty exhausted from a few full days of travel and sightseeing in Medellin and Salento, so will take the next few days to slow down before the busy couple of weeks we have ahead of us in Ecuador.Leer más
