I went for New Year's. I have family there and went there to celebrate New Year's. Celebrating New Years in Bogota was an unbelievable experience.

Hello all, I think the jungle really saps the energy out of me.  I have been very lethargic since I arrived in Tarapoto, Peru six days ago.  It's hard to muster up the ambition to leave my succesion of nice, cool rooms.  This morning was no exception.  I watched a few hours of …

During my studies I did 2 missions of 3 months each in Colombia as part of a joint project between the University of Geneva and INGEOMINAS the Colombian Geological Survey. The objective was to study one particular aspect of the formation of the Andes, in the South of the country, between Cali and P…

Bogota And Medellin

My first trip to  my motherland in 17 years.  My goal?  Visit family, get to know new family members, and get to know the country as I had never experienced before.  My first stop is Cali, my birth city.  What a shit-hole that has become.   The women working in th…

I've found the place I was looking for Carnival time, and it’s Barranquilla, Colombia. I've been to quite a few places, and I have to say that my trip to Barranquilla has been one of my best experiences ever. Barranquilleros are very warm, happy and friendly people, and the women are absolut…

I took a sailboat from Colon Panama to Cartegena, Colombia. I took in the sites of the city...went to a volocano and had a mud massage and then I went to Playa Blanca and enjoyed a few days on the beach with no running water or electricity.

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…

Thus far, we had not gone out at night and I haven´t experienced Bogota nightlife.  It is apparently out of this world but I´m a little intimidated by the knowledge that everybody here dances (and let me just say that I´m a Kiwi girl whose only dancing tuition is a couple of latin ballroom …

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…
