We drove out to Cartagena by bus. This trip takes you through the jungles of Colombia and is not recommended if you are traveling alone. I had no problems but again didn't speak any English on the bus or outside the bus. I actually didn't speck at all because of my English accent. (maybe I'm a litt…

I had read that Cartagena is a fantastic colonial city, but the descriptions do not give the place justice.  Cartagena is quite possibly the most beautiful place i have ever visited.  Located on the Caribbean coast, Cartagena was a key port town during the Spanish colonial period.  Y…

I´m spending around 1 year in South America, I had an amazing time. Enjoy my pictures, I'd do it again.

Yadi worked her ass off to provide us w/ an unforgettable stay in her beautiful country (best holidays ever!)

I had an absolute blast in Cartagena de Indias.  I recommend "La Rumba en Chiva", they play Vallenato music on the Chiva while you drink and get a tour of the city.  It was an absolute blast.  Everybody was singing along with the songs.  I soooo wanted to join them, but I didn't…

Cartagena is so amazing that I dont even know where to start. Its not ot only one of my favorite cities that I have passed through this trip, but one of my favorites that I have ever seen in my life, no kidding. First of all, its an old colonial city where pirates such as Sir Francis Drake use to…

After sorting a few bits and pieces out in Santa Marta (including getting a guy to make me a new cable for my laptop from scratch!), I headed down to Cartagena. I took the easy option of the Mar Sol 'door-to-door' bus which picks you up from one hostel and drops you off at another in Cartagena (cos…

My recent trip to Colombia. More photos to come

Ive now broken up from my traveling group as they wanted to spend a few more days hanging out in Medellin and I wanted to get moving.I took a bus all the way from Medellin to Cartagena, which was 13 hours long. As there was only two of us on the bus heading to Cartagena about 10 hours in they trans…

First off, you may be wondering what possessed us to go to Colombia.  If you remember, we are the same people who visited Iceland in January.  All right, so I know that with Colombia it´s our safety rather than our sanity that you question.  Colombia wasn´t originally at the top of…

Well the sailing trip is over and we have set foot on land as of this morning in the beautiful colonial city of Cartagena.  We had the fortunate opportunity of visiting the Kuna Indians of the Comarca San Blas before setting sail across the ocean, it was soo amazing and i reccommend it to any …

And Luckily for us.. It was !! Hosah !!Bogota was a real eye opener after leaving Venezuela, as we jumped into our taxi ( the simplest process, buy a ticket in advance for your destination and get in a cab..totally rip off proof !) we knew that we were back onto a winner ! H got a bit confused with…

I was on seven planes the two weeks I was in Colombia. Every 3 days with the exception of one city I was getting on a plane to explore another city. Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Cartagena, and other towns was where I went to during my trip.
