It takes some willpower, but I try to save your new uploads for the weekend mornings when I can sit out on my patio and enjoy watching with a slow cup of coffee. 🥰

Left watching this to enjoy with my breakfast. Cole was definitely not his usual outgoing self. Looking forward to the next one.

Wow! I love how close the hostel is to the national park. The private room looks so nice 😮

Missing backpacking SO MUCH and love living vicariously through your videos ❤️

4 years ago, me and a friend packed up our bags and traveled south and central America for 6 months. Tayrona park remains to be one of my fave spots. Sitting at my desk working today, with your vlog on the background literally brings back all the memories!! Absolutely love your vlogs :)

This series has basically just made me crazy intrigued about Columbia and I'm desperate to get there one day now. These vlogs are amazing!

Madz Anderson There are so many more places to visit but aren’t that well known, like the Eastern plains or the Amazon. If you want to see the hidden Colombia, this is the best channel: “caminantr3es” (even though is in Spanish). Another excellent KZreadr about Colombia, an Australian that has been living there for 10 years is “Sam LifeAfar” (top content about the country and places to visit).

Loving your Colombia series. It is definitely on my list after things get more ‘normal’ x

I‘m so happy and sad at the same time watching your vlogs. I went to Colombia two years ago and we mostly visited the same places as you did. I miss it so much and seeing your vlogs brings back so many great memories. When we went to Tayrona, we slept in one of the tents, which were so incredibly nasty 😁 You were lucky that you got a hammock. You should’ve checked out the little indigenous village “Pueblito” nearby, it was really amazing. Especially the hike, because it felt a bit like an Indiana Jones film. Not a lot of people actually know about this village, so it wasn’t touristy at all.I’m sorry, you had to leave Colombia so quickly. The country and the people are truly amazing. Greetings from Germany 👋🏻

Yay! Love these videos 💃🏼💃🏼

wanderlauren There are so many more places to visit in Colombia. Check out “Caño Cristales”, also known as “the river of five colors”. Or “Ciudad Perdida”, or any of the many “páramos” like “páramo de Chingaza” or “páramo de Sumapaz”. The Amazon jungle, the huge Eastern plains where you can go on Safaris, etc. There are also snow capped mountains like “Nevado del Cocuy”, “Sierra nevada de Sanata Marta” or “Nevado del Ruiz”.

Your bubbly attitude is what keep me coming back

I love these videos. I am planning my 5 week trip to Colombia next March/April (assuming that we are all allowed to travel by then). The hostels that you stay in all look fantastic. You are lucky to be young enough to stay in such places. I am 55 (physically, not mentally) and people of my age range are largely excluded from Hostels. So I am looking at alternatives, all of which tend to be much more expensive and in the main towns and cities.

Been following you for 4 years girl ! 😝You inspire me so much to travel. Cant wait to get out of this lockdown and go somewhere 💭

I love Tayrona! Such a beautiful place. I also think it looks very Jurassic Parky!

I was there in January, made it a day trip from Taganga. Arrived at 10am, we were lucky to have no horrendous line!! However walked all the way to a beach past Cabo San Juan, enjoyed the day, and started to walk back around 4pm. It began to get dark around 6pm and we took the wrong trail (instead took the trail where they move the horses back and forth- you can imagine the level of horse poo). The shuttle service had stopped and we had to walk the 5km back to the entrance of the park. Wise of you to stay overnight :)

Wow looks insane. Can only hope one day to go and vlog ourselves :)

Thanks for the dates in the description! ;-)

Now you are back in the UK, what would you bring again when traveling with a 40L backpack and what was not necessary.

Tayrona is one of the most irritating parks Ive ever had the displeasure of visiting. I went in 2013 and arrived on the beach, after the 5 k walk, to what appeared to be the entire population of Buenos Aires camped out, frat party style. My small group was thinking this is not possible. We hiked over an adjoining mountain and arrived in a pool of sweat at a tiny set of cabanas on a beautiful beach another 5k or so away. . Luckily it was totally empty of tourists but the local insects really had their way with me. Great video as usual!!!

you could have made a whole video of that queue! I'm getting a little anxious of these videos, since you're at March 3 here, I know it's coming to a quick and shocking end. Hope you can get back out there relatively soon.

Known for its biodiversity, the park is made up of two ecosystems covering more than 30 km of Colombia's rugged northwest coastline. Tayrona National Park is where you'll uncover some of the country's most beautiful blue water coves, white sand beaches, crystalline lagoons and tropical jungles.
