- Vive Colombia! Our bus from Popayan to San Agustin was interesting. It was basically a dirt track for the full 6 hours, with us bouncing up and down in our seats and failing to sleep.

- Hello Colombia! Hello Hillbillies and Hotties!At Tulcan we crossed the border to Ipiales and after dumping our bags in the bus terminal and fighting off all the Colombian men wanting us to go to Pasto with THEIR company, we went to wait for a collectivo Posted by Alice_and_Nyree in Trying to Survive in South America | Sep 7, 2011

- World Cup feverIt's several weeks now since I returned to Cartagena after a disappointingly short sejour back in Central America. I returned when I did expecting to be plunged straight into World Cup preparations, with just over two weeks remaining. However, things Posted by tgilmour in Viaje interminable | Aug 7, 2011
- ColombiaColombia Exhausted and a bit sad about leaving Bolivia, we landed in Bogota, Colombia. Our first day was met with rain which is quite common for Bogota but still not all that welcome! Bogota is quite a modern city and very Posted by melperk in Up and other Adventures | Jul 24, 2011

- Man-made beauty and returning to some favourite placesOh Colombia... just when I think that it's hard for you to live up to the hype I go somewhere like Guatape! Out of the group of us staying in the hostal in Guatape - two of us didn't leave when Posted by hollyk in South America | Jul 17, 2011
- Bogotá mal wieder ^^Am frühen morgen sind wir dann - teils schweren Herzens - mit Taxi losgefahren zum Flughafen Santa Martas. Der Taxi Fahrer war sogar so nett und hat bei einem Kisok angehalten damit Pawel sich Zigaretten kaufen kann.... Während der Fahrt Posted by MarieEck in Bibis on Tour | Jun 29, 2011
- Salsa, fossils, Escobar and amazing public transport systemsFossils I went in search of and fossils I found. I felt like Ross from Friends!

- Partying in BogotáOur weekend started with a leisurely stroll around the shopping district, Zona Rosa. We caught lunch and a nice restaurant and sat ourside. The highlight of the walk afterwards was definitely a $3 streetside shoe shine. Those Posted by kxa52 in Wandering Andersons | Jun 21, 2011
- From the Mundane to the PredictableI have found myself holed-up in Cartagena for the best part of two months now, a most agreeable spot for a dose of rest and contemplation if ever there was one. I've settled into a comfortable regime of visiting the Posted by tgilmour in Viaje interminable | Jun 23, 2011
- CartagenaWe were greeted at the Cartegena airport by someone from our hotel, as we walked outside we were instantly met with a blast of sun. Think July in Chicago plus a little more humidity and another 10 degrees. We drove Posted by kkanderson in Wandering Andersons | Jun 22, 2011
- Enjoying the week in BogotáOur flight in from Guayaquil was very nice (thank you, LAN!). We flew standby through an ugly connection (10 hours) and arriving by early afternoon in Bogotá. The Sheraton is right near the airport, which is good for Posted by kxa52 in Wandering Andersons | Jun 20, 2011
- Trekking and sweating in ColombiaHooray - with the arrival of my friend Helen from the UK I got to read weekend English newspapers, brilliant trashy gossip magazines and taste the fine beef extract of Bovril. Oh the simple things... Actually part of what made all Posted by hollyk in South America | Jun 14, 2011
- Our favourite place in ColombiaIt really doesn’t get much more tranquil than this. Set in rolling hills Tierradentro is a beautiful area attracting a few tourists to see the burial chambers and statues that have been discovered there. The only non-relaxing element to Posted by ew5827 in From Mexico to who knows where | Jun 12, 2011

- Palm trees in the mistArriving in the town of Salento at night we couldn’t get much of an idea of the surrounding area or of the beauty that it may hold. We met a Dutch couple on the bus from Armenia, the nearest town Posted by ew5827 in From Mexico to who knows where | Jun 12, 2011
