I am deep in the Colombian jungle, 10 minutes from where we spent the night with the Colombian military, and this guy is showing us how to make cocaine. But that probably isn't the best place to start the story. The story starts with the jungle, and the reason for going to the jungle was to hike to Ciudad Perdida, a six day journey from the edge of civilization into the heart of the jungle. Our group consisted of 12 people, two Italians, two South Africans, two Germans, four Americans, one Co...

Build between the 11th and 14th centuries, rediscovered in 1975 by tomb raiders.
To go you join a tour group, usually small, providing food, drinks and hammocks for the night.
What a cracker trip, five days trekking through the slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, hot, humid, and often raining, four hours per day through the country side, jungle, numerous fresh rivers and Indigenous villages....and the factory.
Our group was made up of five fairly loose Israelis, a couple ...

Santa Marta is what I consider to be, after visiting approxamitaley 3 Colombian cities, a more real version of what the country is like. Yes Cartagena is beautiful, and it has a mud volcano in it`s outskirts, but Santa Marta is a real place where people have jobs and life doesn`t revolve around tourism. There`s also a pretty darn good night life, and a cheap restaurant where almost every plate you order comes with french fries. Luckily for the n...

Colombia is an awesome place, but definitely not the easiest place to get a "chance", as they call it here! Hitchhiking here is a lot more difficult than we expected. We've been lucky a few times, but for the most part Colombians are not as trusting and less willing to give people a lift. Well, that's what we've been told in any case!! Anyway, another change in our plans . . . we had to stay the night in Santa Marta because catching a ride to the next town was hopeless!
Luckily we met ...

Taganga...
Elke toerist blijft hier langer dan gepland (toffe neef Johan kwam voor een week en is hier een jaar blijven plakken). De idyllische ligging van dit dorpje, in een baai met kleine huisjes en omgeven door tropische planten op de berghellingen, is niet het enige wat de toeristen tot hier brengt. Elke dag is het hier meer dan 30 graden, ´s Nachts kan het voorvallen dat je een t-shirt moet aandoen maar veel kouder wordt het niet. Vlakbij Taganga is een nationaal park met de meest aut...

It has been
10 days since I last wrote and I will try to recount some of the events of
these last days. Angry departed for New Zealand. He consumed a fair level of Aguadiente and
Aguila and tried to escape back into the wild from Finca los Girasoles, like a
scene from one of those 1950s films like Ape
Man.
Sam and I
travelled cattle class by bus for free back from the coffeelands to Bogota, whilst the
remainder of t...

Hello All,Today I ventured out to see the sights in Santa Marta. My hotel is only three blocks from the waterfront, so that was the first place to go. There is a nice place to walk along the sea, and after the wide sidewalks for strolling there is a narrow beach that all of the locals were frolicking on. It didn’t seem to be all that dirty, but the fact that we were mere meters from the main harbor didn’t instill a lot of confidence.There was a great view of a rocky island, called El M...

Not much to say about this place apart from the fact that its the first place to make it on the "definitely come back to" list.
Amazing beach, next to a national park with a cloud forest and the oppurtunity to trek to the lost city just like Indiana.... unfortunately we couldnt do it all for time reasons but definitely would like to be back.

Today we woke up
early, had some good arepa de huevo and headed to the Tayrona National Park.
This is a must for Colombians, but I was shocked to see that most people we ran
into were European. Actually, I wasn’t that shocked. Europeans are cool. We
took sort of an hour hike through the jungle to get to the beach we wanted to
get to. I absolutely loved the hike through rocks and trees and monkeys and
birds. I felt so… American to be so awed at all of these tropical wonders...
