Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.
For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

I myself was born in a small Town near villa de Leyva, in Boyacá and decided to emigrate to the US after finishing high school, about six decades ago...and althoug I did relatively well during those decades outside Colombia, I was always nostálgic about many things about Colombia and now I am back retired in a small farm which I inherited..enjoying beatiful landscapes, good food and good people (probably the best of Latinoamérica...

    These guys didnt really touch on some close hidden gems. make sure you check out Valle de Cocora in Salento about 2 hrs out of Medellin and do the hike in reverse. Once finished in Salento swing by Jardín for a couple of days and go paragliding! Its epic. San Gil is also cool place to do some adventure sports like caving and bunjee jumping. In Bogota check out the tour of Egipto Barrio, in the La Calandria

    Loving your video, the fact you took the time to deeply experience the places you visited and not just to hit the most turistic instagramable spots, and not least the fact that you're pronouncing the names of all the cities in proper Spanish - shows so much respect and cultural awareness. Bravo!

    [2] One thing that I noticed is that you have tended to show us tantalising glimpses of many bars, restaurants and cafes, but show aspects of the meals for only seconds. A big part of any trip is the dining experience. I recommend that you spend more minutes on each dining experience, give us details of menus and prices, and highlight the cultural context, historical significance, and other interesting details of which foods/drinks are served in each community, et cetera.
