I had to kill a few days on my own before Laura, Maarten & Laura arrived, but there are worse places to do so. Bogotá has a bad reputation but is colourful, dynamic, authentic and surrounded by nature. It's fairly safe, but as locals say: no dar papaya (don't be an easy target). Once reunited, we went to Montserrate to enjoy the views and went on a free walking tour.Meer informatie

This colorful colonial town in the Zona Cafetera was the perfect reason to start drinking coffee ☕. We hiked the Coffee Route and learned a lot during an interesting tour at one of the many coffee farms. We also hiked amongst giant palm trees and saw hummingbirds! 🌴 Maarten & Miel went on a MTB adventure but had to turn back because one of the bikes broke down (secretly happy, man these hills are steep) 🚲Meer informatie

We visited busy La Candelería, drank cocktails in El Poblado and strolled around in Laureles, but were not impressed. The city and its many districts are hard to get a grip on. On a day trip to Guatapé we climbed El Peñol's 708 steps for a great view over the lake and wandered around in the colorful town. The next day, we had to revise our opinion of Medellín after a walking tour in the vibrant San Javier district (Comuna 13) , where we tasted local food and enjoyed art in all its forms. This neighborhood transformed from Colombia's most dangerous place to the coolest one in little more than a decade.Meer informatie

You're obliged to relax on this island: you pick a hostel, get dropped off by a boat and can't leave the premises (which are surrounded by mangroves) unless you book a tour or are checking out. So relaxing is what we did 😎. Playing cards, reading a book, chilling in a hammock, snorkeling, kayaking, getting sunburned and drinking cocktails🍸. We also visited Santa Cruz del Islote - the most densely populated island on earth.Meer informatie

A short boat trip took us from Tintipan Island to this little paradise on the Colombian coast 🌴.

Apart from enjoying a beautiful sunset and spotting cool animals in the mangrove (sloths, a raccoon, an iguana and lots of cool birds), we spent most of our time in the bathroom of our cabin as we both had food poisoning 🤢. Miel was given treatment in the local (very basic) hospital to be able to continue the journey to Cartagena.Meer informatie

There's not much to do in Colombia's most touristy and expensive city so we only stayed around for two days. However, it can't be denied that it's a beautiful place! There's color everywhere; be it on the painting canvases, the old houses, the dresses of the street performers, the different fruits or in the cocktail glasses (which we couldn't enjoy given our health condition) 🎨

We were also pleasantly surprised to find iguanas, sloths, monkeys and parrots in the same small city park 🐒

We might come back here!Meer informatie

This cute town is nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. We ignored the heat and the sandflies and explored the numerous hiking trails in the mountains while birdwatching, spotting monkeys and visiting a cacao plantation 🍫. The rivers, waterfalls and hotels with fancy pools along the way provided us with the necessary refreshment. Cuddling with the many cute street dogs that kept following us, made these days even better!

Unfortunately, we also had to say goodbye to Laura & Maarten. Thank you for the best trip, we’ll miss you 🥲Meer informatie

We hiked through the jungle on our own, up to an indigenous Kogi village. These people don't interact with the outside world, so we kept our distance (but ended up playing with some kids in the river). We also visited the local dog shelter, went to the improvised cinema, enjoyed good food (we even found vegan cinnamon rolls 🤤) and chilled on the beach.Meer informatie

Camarones
16–17 feb. 2024, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C
The coastal town of Camarones (= 🦐) lies one hour north of Palomino, but couldn't be more different. We were virtually the only tourists and there was not much to do but (trying to) escape the heat. We woke up at 6AM (😴) to meet our guide Daniel, who took us to the 'Santuario de Fauna y Flora los Flamencos'. We saw a lot of flamingos (of course), but also pelicans, herons, peccaries, caracara and ibis while paddling through the lagoon in our canoe.

Daniel told us that the lagoon is often used by narcotraficantes. Last Christmas, a few villagers stole some cocaine and were killed as revenge. Colombia’s government has struggled to limit cocaine production in recent years, as rebel groups and drug trafficking gangs take over territory that was abandoned by FARC guerrillas following the group’s 2016 peace deal with the government.Meer informatie

It wasn't easy to get to this remote desert village on Colombia’s northern tip, but it was worth it. We experienced what life must be like for the indigenous Wayuu that live here; we slept in traditional hammocks and hiked through the barren wasteland 🌵. Since we were the only ones crazy enough to do so, we often found ourselves alone at beautiful beaches.

The village itself is a kitesurf destination. We promised ourselves to keep this (expensive) activity for another time and just enjoyed the show the pros put on. Add a beautiful sunset every evening and you get a truly unique place!Meer informatie

After visiting some locations with less facilities (vegan food, electricity, internet and drinking water were hard to come by), we decided to go back to a familiar and comfortable environment. We worked on our travel guide (a project that will hopefully be finished one day), ate good food, surfed, went partying on the beach and enjoyed Palomino's relaxed vibe.Meer informatie

Tayrona NP
29 feb.–2 mrt. 2024, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 31 °C
This national park is one of the most visited places in Colombia and our last stop on the Carribbean Coast.

We tried to evade the day trippers going to the overcrowded Playa Cabo de San Juan by making a 3-day trip to the lesser-known beaches. The sweaty hikes through the jungle and sleepless nights in a hammock/moldy tent were rewarded with sights of an anteater, a tucan, barbed woodpeckers, lizards of all sizes & colours and all 3 types of monkeys (capuchin, howler & tamarin) 🐒. We could wash off the sweat in the clear blue sea with a view of white beaches backed by palm trees, jungle and the slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. 🌴

This may have been our last sight of the sea for this trip, but it was a good one!Meer informatie

Villa de Leyva is known as one of the most beautiful and well-preserved colonial towns in Colombia. As we were quite impressed with the colonial architecture, the pretty cobblestone streets, the huge Central Plaza and - let's be honest - the cheap room rate of our hotel, we decided to linger a little longer than originally planned. The fact that we found tofu, a delicious ice cream shop ànd a bakery with normal bread (not sweet! no cheese!) also helped 🥖. To compensate all those treats, we climbed to a viewpoint and went mountain biking.Meer informatie

13–16 mrt. 2024, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
As usual, we were too stubborn to use the convenient tourist tours and decided to explore Tatacoa (which is actually not a desert but a dry tropical forest) on our own 🌵. The 'desert' consists of two parts, each with a distinctive colour. We hiked off trail in the grey area and survived the scorching temperatures in the red part the next day 🥵. After walking more than 15 kms each day, taking an open-air bath while stargazing at our desolate cabin provided some welcome relaxation 🛁.Meer informatie

We ended up staying longer than expected because we needed to slow down a bit after all those Colombian buses. Our week in Quito provided the structure we've missed for a while now. Even the weather was predictable; sunny in the morning, stormy in the afternoon 🌩️. It was the perfect opportunity and place (our hostel was beautiful and we got a free room upgrade) to plan our future adventures in the Amazon rainforest and the Galapagos islands. Lots of people just pass through this capital, but we actually enjoyed its different neighborhoods: the beautiful old town, trendy La Floresta and hilly Guápulo (party Mariscal less so).Meer informatie

The biodiversity we saw here is too immense to describe, but some of the more thrilling sights include the pink river dolphin, anaconda, tarantula, scorpion and 6 different species of monkeys.

We also got to know some culinary and spiritual traditions of the Sionas, an indigenous group inhabiting these parts.Meer informatie

Galapagos - Isla Santa Cruz 🐢
3–7 apr. 2024, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Being so close, knowing the already steep entrance fee is going to double this August and realizing the amount of tourists in Ecuador is lower than usual due to the current crisis, made the Galapagos irresistible. And we're so glad we decided to come here! It's crazy beautiful and wildlife is everywhere. You literally have to be careful you don't step on a iguana or a seal doesn't steal your seat. 🦎 🦭

Unfortunately, it's also super expensive so we have to be a bit creative. Instead of joining a boat tour to Tortuga Bay, we hiked and spotted baby hammerhead sharks 🦈 upon arrival. Instead of taking $50 taxis, we hitchhiked to see the giant tortoises 🐢 in the Highlands and mountainbiked to Cerro Mesa & Playa Garrapatero (biking while spotting tortoises & enjoying beautiful views, so no complaints!). And instead of eating $50 pizzas, we made delicious dinners in the kitchen of our hostel!Meer informatie

Galapagos - Isla Isabela 🐧
6–13 apr. 2024, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Isabela is the largest and one of the youngest of the Galapagos islands. Being here felt like being in a Planet Earth episode. We were greeted by penguins & sea lions upon our arrival and had a view over a lagoon with pink flamingos from our hostel's terrace 🦩. Every morning, we went snorkelling at the nearby Concha Perla Lagoon, where we saw sea turtles, huge sting rays, sea lions, white tip reef sharks, colourful parrotfish, pufferfish, shrimp and a lot of cute penguins 🤿.

We also did a tour to Los Tuneles, where we snorkelled through lava tunnels surrounded by huge sea turtles. We spotted a seahorse and entered underwater caves full of white tip reef sharks. We took a little walk in this unique volcano landscape, where some blue footed boobies were doing their weird mating dance.Meer informatie

Galapagos - Isla San Cristóbal 🦭
16–23 apr. 2024, Ecuador ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
San Cristobal's colony of Galapagos sea lions is the largest in the archipelago and they are our new favourite animals. They are so playful and we often found ourselves surrounded by them while snorkeling (the babies are very, very cute). We also made time to admire the other wildlife (lots of sea turtles, iguanas, tortoises, sharks, rays, blue-footed boobies. the usual 🙈).

Swimming with the black tip reef sharks during the 360° tour of the island was really special and we were lucky enough to come across a group of dolphins! The mountainbike ride to the other side of the island left us completely dehydrated (the heat! no water! uphill!), but we got some beautiful views of the island and El Junco Lagoon.

This was our last stop in Galapagos. After three weeks of snorkeling, sun and the coolest animals, we are really going to miss this place! 🏝️Meer informatie
