    14 december 2025, England ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Direct flights to Colombia were very expensive from either Manchester or Heathrow.
    We opted for TAP Airlines national carrier for Portugal, had a really positive flight experience.
    Lovely to see dogs 🐕 on the flight ✈️. If your dog weighs less than 10kg you can take on board and place at your feet.
    Even though we were transitioning at Miami Airport you still need a ESTA before travelling!    Läs mer

    In Bogota we opted for a Colombian Conflict Tour: War, Drug Trafficking and Peace. Amazing insight into the complex and violent history of Colombia 🇨🇴

    Colombia, one of the happiest countries on earth, has been affected globally by its bad reputation for various negative situations such as being a huge drug producer, assassinations of political leaders, and violent conflicts between different armed groups. Today, this has changed quite a bit, and while on this tour, you will understand the causes, the development, and the present-day's Colombian conflict.    Läs mer

    Bogota to San Andres

    18 december 2025 ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Yesterday we left Bogota and departed on a two hour flight ✈️ to the beautiful island of San Andres. Located off the coast Nicaragua. Opted to fly with LATAM Airlines, Brazilian owned.

    Despite its proximity to Nicaragua, the Caribbean island of San Andrés is actually a part of Colombia, offering visitors a blend of Colombian, English, and African influences that show up in its language, cuisine, and music. It’s known for its clear waters and coral reefs, so things to do in San Andrés include scuba diving, snorkeling, and lounging on some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. On land, its duty-free shopping attracts visitors looking for great deals on local crafts and international goods.Läs mer

    San Andrés - Spratt Bight Beach

    19 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    The main beach of San Andrés, known as Spratt Bight Beach, is one of the most emblematic and crowded beaches on the island. With its white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, it is a popular destination for both locals and tourists visiting the island.

    Spratt Bight Beach offers a wide range of activities to enjoy under the warm Caribbean sun. From sunbathing and swimming in the calm waters to practicing water sports, there are options for all tastes and ages.    Läs mer

    San Andres - West View

    20 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    West View is one of the best places on San Andrés Island for snorkeling and swimming. Unlike traditional beaches, this spot features a natural rocky platform leading directly into the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Instead of sand, visitors will find wooden decks and ladders, making it easy to enter the sea. The area is known for its rich marine life, with colorful tropical fish swimming around in the warm, transparent waters. Thanks to the natural coral formations, snorkeling here offers a unique chance to see the underwater beauty of San Andrés.

    Please avoid ordering the authentic local dish called Ron Don, see image. Truly awful 😖 experience of sea snails, pork tail, and dumplings.

    Three underwater videos included.    Läs mer

    San Andres - Rocky Cay

    21 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    Rocky Cay is located about 150 yards off the eastern coast of San Andres. It is located in a little bay just north of the half way point down the east coast of the island. Just off the island, you’ll see a wrecked and rusted out ship that ran into the reef and got stuck years ago.

    Due to high winds we couldn't go snorkeling to the house and abandoned ship that features my pictures.    Läs mer

    San Andres - Haynes Cay & Rose Cay

    22 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Rose Cay and Haynes Cay are located just 1 mile (1.6 km) from the eastern shores of San Andres Island. It's situated in the crystal clear waters of the mar de 7 colores (sea of seven colors) outside Puerto de San Andrés.

    This is a very popular tour, and walking across the floating bridge in high winds is not for the faint hearted. Personally, I wouldn't do this tour again.

    San Andres - Johnny Cay

    23 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    This beautiful sandy cay (pronounced in the Caribbean as “key“) is just a quick boat ride away from the northern end of San Andres. Here, you’ll discover white-sand beaches dropping into crystal clear water and dense palm trees growing out from its center, almost like rasta dreads!

    Isla Johnny Cay is located approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) off the northern coast of San Andres. As a result, visitors will need to take a boat tour to get to this famous cay. This departs just off one of the main beaches near San Andres Town called Playa Spratt Bight.    Läs mer

    San Andrés to Providencia - Flight

    24 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Flying from San Andrés (ADZ) to Providencia (PVA) involves short, frequent flights on small planes, primarily operated by SATENA, taking around 15-20 minutes, with prices varying but often in the 200,000-300,000 COP range; it's best to book in advance as flights fill up quickly. You'll fly from San Andrés Island to Providencia Island, a short hop to the neighboring paradise. 

    The option of a ferry was only restored on 26th December 2025, after a three year absence. This journey can take from 4 to 10 hours depending on sea conditions.

    Satena only allows 10kg of luggage in the hold so pack lightly.    Läs mer

    Providencia - South West Beach

    25 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    South West Bay is the largest beach on the island, it's also the place to be for the Saturday afternoon horse racing. Also the social gathering of the week. If you’ve been on the island a few days, you’ll bump into everyone you’ve met during the week.

    Pretty empty most of the time. For around 20 minutes, the whole island descends to place their bets on their winning horse.

    The horse race lasts around 2 minutes. It's supposed to start at 1 pm, but to no surprise, it begins more towards 3 pm.

    Otherwise a calm beach, there are many restaurants and bars with plenty of space to find your little chill-out spot. It's awesome for lunch and in the evening you can eat under the stars in front of the bonfire.    Läs mer

    Providencia - Santa Catalina Island

    26 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Providencia and Santa Catalina, famous for its natural beauty, crystal clear waters and the third largest coral barrier in the world, a paradise for diving and ecotourism, Santa Catalina is connected by the Bridge of Lovers and offering a vibrant Raizal culture, peace and quiet after its reconstruction post Hurricane Lota in 2020.

    Providencia - Crab Quay

    28 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Crab Cay was certainly the only disappointment of our Providencia trip. Crab Cay is a really small stone island, which is located about 1 km off Providencia and can only be visited by boat or kayak. Alternatively, it would of course also be possible to swim across, but I would really not advise anyone to do that because of the strong current.

    Every Sunday from 1.00pm onwards the island is only open to locals.

    Providencia - San Andrés - Medellín

    29 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Today was a very complicated travel itinerary. Due to baggage weight restrictions on Satena Airlines (10kg), we had to leave our 23kgs suitcases in left luggage in San Andres Airport, take 10kg of luggage in a separate bag. On return, we then had to repack the 10kg bag with our 23kg suitcase.

    Flight 1: Providencia to San Andres.

    Flight 2: San Andres to Medellín.

    Looking forward to celebrating 🍾 New Year's Eve in Medellín.    Läs mer

    Medellin Free - Comuna 13 Walking Tour

    31 december 2025, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Using Freetours.Com, we booked with AIC Tours in Medellín, local guides from the area. All guides have experienced the changes in Comuna 13 neighbourhood up close, which allows them to know all the history that has developed here.

    Comuna 13 has gone from being the most conflictive and dangerous place in Medellín to becoming the number one destination to visit. Its streets, its people, its artists, the escalators and its graffiti route are examples of how it is possible to be reborn after facing so many armed conflicts.

    Amazing tour to see great change and witness this incredible story.    Läs mer
