Got to Santa Marta 2 days ago. It took 4 hours to get here by bus. Driving is mental here, buses with open doors and hanging people out, beeping the horn and taking over the ambulance.
The hostel is aЧитать далее

We took a 'colectivo', a kind of shared taxi full of Colombians, up the mountain to a little town called Minca in the Sierra Nevada. The road was quite scary anyway, with it's sharp turns and steepЧитать далее

Woke up at the crack of dawn for a nice local breakfast and then started a hike, an 'easier' one according to the guide book. 2 hours uphill in the hot, humid jungle later, we finally arrived at theЧитать далее

Palomino is a real Caribbean beach town. Took 2 hours to get there by bus with open doors. Stayed in a camping with really friendly local people. On the first day we were just hanging on the emptyЧитать далее

Celebrating after an epic swim across the river, so brave. Unfortunately the birds I wanted to see heard my frantic splashes and flew away.

Santa Marta to Medellin was our first really long bus journey, almost 20 hours door to door. It wasn't a lot of fun but actually wasn't as terrible as it sounds. We chatted to a couple of people,Читать далее

After hearing so many good things about La Piedra and Guatape, we decided to go for them as a day trip from Medellin. The way there was fairly quick, the bus was stopped just once by police and a dogЧитать далее

Manizales was rather a stop over for us on the way of Salento as it's one of the three cities which makes the coffee zone triangle. Haven't seen much of it, apparently not even that nice but theЧитать далее
