I've spent the last week in Colombia's "Zona Cafatera" which is an area of verdant hills, exotic bird life, wax palm trees (well, in the valle cocara at least)and coffee (sometimes it is important to state the obvious). The first few days ... Read more >

We arrived in Bogota in the evening around 9pm (30,000 each from San Gil to Bogota). Arriving late in any city is never our plan as it's not good to wander around in the dark and we can't disguise the fact we are tourists... On arrival our bus driver ... Read more >

We caught a bus from Macondo to a place, any place, that was about 2hours down the road. The bus guys suggested Aguachica and took our 20,000 each and off we went. We were only on the bus for an hour when they said we had to get off and change buses.... Read more >
