San Gil is the adventure capital of Colombia. The draw of San Gil isn’t the city itself, but rather everything you can do in the surrounding areas. Zip lines, hiking, waterfall repelling, and rafting are just a few of the activities that you’ll find offered here. Although there are some calmer activities for people who …
Bogotá has a lot to offer travelers, but sometimes it’s nice to escape the city and see a bit more of the country. When I visited Bogotá, I had one day for a day trip and debated which trip I would take as I couldn’t decide if I wanted natural or manmade beauty. I landed …

So with that knowledge, I put together this Colombia travel budget which outlines everything I spent on my trip. My hope …
When I told friends and family that I had booked a trip to Colombia, many of them seemed to do a double take. “Is that safe?” I don’t think I’ve ever had more comments from people concerned about my safety for any other trip I’ve taken thus far in my life. It seemed that family …
