Colombia Through the Lens
Posted on October 20, 2014May 11, 2016

Colombia Through the Lens

Yesterday I sifted through all our travel videos from Colombia. There was so much footage it was hard to narrow it down, but here they are in a somewhat organized fashion. The video is a short, four minute summary of the last two amazing months. I can’t really say I chose the song, it’s more like … Continue reading Colombia Through the Lens

Jungle Lands of Tayrona

Jungle Lands of Tayrona

When we first arrived in Colombia, Ben and I planned to visit Tayrona National Park after completing the Lost City trek. However, after returning from the trek with aches from head to toe from 5 long days in the jungle, and knowing the park would entail more hiking, we lost the desire. Instead we headed … Continue reading Jungle Lands of Tayrona

Gold, Ostriches, and Páramos

Gold, Ostriches, and Páramos

After Manizales we headed north, out of coffee country and into the Boyaca Region of Colombia. To get there we had to spend one night in Bogota. With only one morning in the Capital we had just enough time to visit the famous Museo de Oro (Gold Museum), which showcased all the gold trinkets created by many … Continue reading Gold, Ostriches, and Páramos

Two Weeks in Coffee Country

Two Weeks in Coffee Country

Back home Ben and I would consider ourselves city people. But while traveling, we usually gravitate towards villages and small towns, and find ourselves staying much longer than most the backpackers we meet. I think being in a place with fewer people and in a more relaxed atmosphere, feels easier to make a connection with other … Continue reading Two Weeks in Coffee Country

The Lost City and the Kogi

The Lost City and the Kogi

Before we went to Medellin, we’d spent a lot of time in the cities of Cartaganea and Santa Marta on the Coast. After a couple weeks, we were ready to get out of the city for awhile and see what the land was like. We decided to trek through the jungle for 5 days to Ciudad … Continue reading The Lost City and the Kogi

Medellin: Moving Ahead Without Looking Back

Medellin: Moving Ahead Without Looking Back

Last week Ben and I took a 16 hour bus from Santa Marta on the coast to the more centrally located city of Medellin. Besides the frigid cold air conditioning, the bus was really nice and the ride went by pretty fast. Medellin is considered the capital of the Zona Cafetera (the coffee region of … Continue reading Medellin: Moving Ahead Without Looking Back

Caribbean Coast of Cartagena…and Minca

Caribbean Coast of Cartagena…and Minca

We’re back – After a year and a half we are back in Latin America and the familiarity of it all feels amazing! It feels great to be thrown back in…to hear Spanish music blaring loudly on every corner, be in the chaotic markets, hear food vendors yelling out into the streets, and experience the unrelenting heat. … Continue reading Caribbean Coast of Cartagena…and Minca
