We lazed around sipping those lovely fresh fruit juices in Pelikan Hostal one last time before heading to Cartagena and our last port of call in Colombia.  We took a taxi to Santa Marta bus terminal for P12 000 where we jumped straight onto a Cartagena ... Read more >

With having left all our luggage, bar a small day bag, in Pelikan Hostal it was a joy to be travelling light and made getting on and of transport blissfully easy.  The collectivo to Santa Marta / Mamatoco dropped us along a main road where we flagged ... Read more >

We’d booked this 5D/4N trek to track down Ciudad Perdida through Magic Tours at an outrageous P600 000 each!  There was no point shopping around as the prices are fixed but the daftest thing is it’s the same price whether you do 4, 5 ... Read more >

Despite the night bus (P50 000) being reasonably comfortable we didn’t exactly arrive in San Gil bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.  The night bus didn’t take us directly to our final destination and 10hrs after setting off we had to change ... Read more >

We jumped on the 7.50am bus for the hour long journey to Pereira (P5500) where we changed onto the 9am bus for Medellin (P30 000).  We’d thoroughly enjoyed Salento and weren’t particularly looking forward to being in a big city but at ... Read more >

Guess what?  The skies were the clearest they’d been since we set foot in Colombia.  Oh well, that should make for a pleasant day’s travel to Salento; a place we’d only heard good things about.  From what we could gather ... Read more >
