Colombia

Villa de Leyva is the most picturesque village I’ve seen in Colombia so far! Bright white houses, cobble stones, churches that date back to the 16th century….

After nine weeks in Colombia, I am sharing my favorite travel experiences in Colombia with you – including beaches, street art, hikes, salsa dancing, coffee and more!

The 5-day hike to Colombia’s Lost City, or Ciudad Perdida, through the jungle and the Sierra Nevada mountains, is one of South America’s most spectacular treks.

Bogotá doesn’t have the best reputation – the more surprised was I when I arrived in Colombia’s capital and discovered that it’s actually a pretty cool city!

One of the highlights of my travels through Colombia: the 4-day jungle trek to Teyuna, Colombia’s Ciudad Perdida.. the fabled lost city of the Tayrona people.

In my monthly round-ups, I share the best and the worst of the past four weeks, where I’ve been, and what’s next for me! February 2016 was all about Colombia.

I’d been wanting to visit Medellin for years, and now I finally made it to Colombia’s second city. Read on to find out what I got up to in Fernando Botero’s hometown!

A visit to Colombia’s coffee region and the beautiful Valle De Cocora was something I’d been looking forward to for a long time – and this week I finally made it to Salento, a small town in the heart of the zona cafetera.

I spent eight days exploring Colombia’s Amazonas region – a week filled with swimming in the Amazon, spotting pink river dolphins, an Ayahuasca ceremony, and much more…

In my monthly round-ups, I am looking back at my travels over the past four weeks, what went well and what didn’t, and what’s next for me.
