  • Villa de Leyva http://wikitravel.org/en/Villa_de_Leyva Villa de Leyva is a great town about 4 hours north of Bogotá that gets pretty crowded over the weekend with vacationers seeking some warm air and beautiful landscapes. The town is relatively small with lots of re Posted by STEVO1285 in This World is Bigger Than I Thought | Jan 31, 2009
  • A Colombian spa The people that frustrate me the most are also the ones I love the most. Take the following as an example: Class this week was a disaster. I tried to plan some really fun and exciting activities for my Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Feb 6, 2009
  • The story of our lives... We had an amazing bus ride from Popayan. I was so sick before we left, but it was like as soon as we got on the road, I was having the time of my life. Normally, in completely perfect health, Posted by Kristy_pj in A Todo el Mundo | Feb 6, 2009
  • Tayrona National Park The following morning, Mark and I met up at my hostel and we headed over to the market for the bus to Tayrona National Park. There are two ways of getting to the national park. One way is by boat, Posted by STEVO1285 in This World is Bigger Than I Thought | Jan 31, 2009
  • Forget what you thought you knew. We have been in Colombia for a few days now, and are once again so surprised at how amazing Colombian people are. We were here about 3 years ago and at that time we fell in love with Colombia – Posted by Kristy_pj in A Todo el Mundo | Jan 30, 2009
  • Taganga To get to Taganga, which we had heard was a really cool fishing town where people go for a few days and get stuck for weeks at a time, is about a 20 minute bus ride from Santa Marta, so Posted by STEVO1285 in This World is Bigger Than I Thought | Jan 28, 2009
  • Cartagena I can't even describe how happy I was getting off the bus and feeling the warm heat of the Carribean, even though I was a bit tired from the bus ride, I was too excited to even care. So pretty Posted by STEVO1285 in This World is Bigger Than I Thought | Jan 28, 2009

  • Este Domingo On Sundays in Bogota, I think that people are in one of three places. 1. Church 2. Downtown 3. Bike-riding on the Ciclovia I think many probably do all three. First of all, the Ciclovia is a Sunday ritual here in Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Jan 25, 2009
  • Salento Ok, first off, Armenia as a city is very skippable, and they don´t really have any budget hostels, so if going to Salento, its better just to sleep in Cali the night before and take the four ride ride there Posted by STEVO1285 in This World is Bigger Than I Thought | Jan 19, 2009
  • Professional Pictures My landlord here in Colombia is a professional photographer. So if anyone living in Bogota reads this blog, come check it out. She has a studio inside the house and she even took some pictures of me last Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Jan 18, 2009
  • Cali I didn´t realize it once I arrived in Cali Sunday night, but apparently that Monday was a national holiday, which means, don´t venture into the center plaza. Apparently its pretty dangerous du Posted by STEVO1285 in This World is Bigger Than I Thought | Jan 18, 2009
  • Coffee Region- Chinchina, Salento. We took off from Manizales to head south towards Salento. On the way we stopped to spend the day at a working coffee plantation called Hacienda Guayabal in the small town of Chinchina. The plantation itself covers entire hillsides and Posted by tuffchix in Bogotá and Beyond | Jan 16, 2009

  • Coffee Region- Pereria, Manizales. After an eventful week, we weren't quite done being tourists...although we prefer the term 'travelers' as it somehow feels more cultured and experienced. We arrived back in Colombia's coffee region in a city called Pereira (the capital of the departmen Posted by tuffchix in Bogotá and Beyond | Jan 11, 2009
  • Holiday Hullabaloo: Chapter 2 Ok, maybe not so much a party but a lot of QT with the fam and relaxation. My family arrived in Panama City on Saturday as well and it didn't take long to get into the groove of things. Dinner Posted by tuffchix in Bogotá and Beyond | Jan 8, 2009
  • Medellin, Salento, Armenia and Popayan After some more time back in Bogota, Medellin was my next destination, Colombias second largest city which proved to be well worth it.

  • Giving Thanks Our travel has taken a little hiatus until the Christmas holidays. Since Medellin we have really felt the weight of true office work. Except for a few fairly frustrating days with a groups of unresponsive and spoiled 8 and Posted by tuffchix in Bogotá and Beyond | Nov 29, 2008
  • Not quite Egyptian pyramids This link that I am posting below is from the BBC website. It's a first hand take on the money pyramids that have just bottomed out in Colombia. Many people, mostly poor families, have been placing their money Posted by AmyLynn in Discovering Colombia | Nov 27, 2008
