After standing on the Equator for a good few hours we didnīt spend much time in Ecuador but hot footed it over to Colombia. Despite getting stuck in the middle of violent student protests and accidently staying in a red-light district, Bogota was an amazing place and home to the friendliest people in the world. Fact. Next, the coastal town of Cartagena which was beautiful and ridiculously, ridiculously hot. Not able to fork out for the luxury of air-con we had to sleep under the shower everynight. We met up with some friends Kristen and Dawn (who we met in [View Full Entry]

Friendly chaps. We asked if we could take a photo. They said yes with a smile, then put on their serious faces
Today was my birthday, and I had a rude awakening at 5am for the next stage in my adventures. We were heading for Colombia, and it was to be a long day of travel. We had to allow extra time in case of problems at the Ecuador/Colombian border. For this portion of my travels, I decided to use an overland adventure company called Dragoman. They are one of only two companies worldwide who enter Colombia, due to the volatile situations and potentially dangerous areas. I thought it would be safer to use a company with good local knowledge and track record. [View Full Entry]

Getting to Bogota This was the 4th leg of our Dragoman trip. We started in Quito and went to Otavalo where we had already been. It was a little more interesting this time because we caught the Saturday market. Didn't buy much but it was lovely to experience the full market with streets and streets of stalls. We left Otavalo very early in the morning. The hotel provided us with a packed breakfast. It was a couple of hours drive to the Colombian border. We were stamped out of Ecuador and into Colombia without incident. A guy called Russ met [View Full Entry]

Colombia, my last highlight in 9 months travelling, is absolutely wonderful. A country where you'll experience hospitality and friendliness at it's best. A country with geographical diversity, interesting cultural history and fruit juices you wouldn't even dream about. Or have you ever heard about Nispero? It all started on the coast in Santa Marta, where legendary football player Carlos Valerrama supposedly has his own statue. Sadly I've only heard about it after I left. Santa Marta is a rather uninteresting place, while its jewels are scattered around town. About 35km to the east is the marvellous Parque National Tayrona, where you [View Full Entry]

8 months ago if you had asked me which South American nations I would be visiting on my upcoming trip I would have told you that Colombia did not feature in any of my plans. The reputation for Drugs, Danger, and Guerrillas was my reason, but after having spent months meeting travellers whom had ventured into Colombia my view on the Cocaine Capital changed. I was told time-after-time that the land and people are only matched in beauty by one another, and that to miss the oppurtunity to go there would be very unwise. My oppinion of Colombia has been [View Full Entry]

Well after nearly 3 weeks in Colombia, I have finally found time to add a new blog. It has been somewhat of a change of pace since leaving Cuba and we now find ourselves quickly approaching the end of our trip. That said, much has been explored in Colombia and some adventuring remains. We arrived in Bogota from Havana on April 12th, one month after leaving Lima, Peru for this fabled island. Cuba was an incredible experience but one that was hard on the pocketbook, therefore it was with some relief that we landed back on the southern continent to [View Full Entry]

La Vega Picture Blog--from the best place in the world South America » Colombia » Bogota By Niloc April 10th 2007 Colin Newcomer Captions coming soon! That is to say, Colombia. Anyway, I have to admit I don't have hardly a few minutes to write right now, but I figured I'd just pop in and say that the reason my blog is so out of date is that I've been having so much fun, and keeping so busy, I hardly have time to go to the internet. I just dropped a track yesterday, which I'm going to put a link to...about la vega and [View Full Entry]
