AIRES, LAN and Flights To and From Colombia
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 3 January 2012
One of the big questions which arises with all travellers between Central and South America involves… well, getting between Central and South America. Making that leap. As previously mentioned, I hadn’t thought further ahead than Mexico when I started travelling from the top of Central America downwards, and realising in Nicaragua that it wasn’t going [...]

Monserrate: High Above the City
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 11 October 2011
It was one of those spontaneous Sunday afternoon plans. We were having a leisurely brunch with our new friend Marcela and JL. As travel bloggers and Bogotaños, they were eager to show us the city and it’s charms. Since it was a rare sunny day, Marcela suggested we head to Monserrate, the mountain that towers [...]

Andres Carne de Res Chia
Blog: Lost World Expedition - 23 April 2011
If you’ve been to Bogota and did not spend at least one evening at “Andres Carne de Res” your visit to Bogota was truly incomplete. Really, we are not exaggerating. We did not know what to think when every single person we met on our way to Bogota would say: “Do not miss Andres in [...]

Plane crashes, gets struck by lightning, breaks into three parts, one man dies from a heart attack
Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 18 August 2010
This is the story of a plane crash that happened in Bogota, Colombia this Monday just gone.

There [...]

Friday Flashback: Coffee and Couchsurfing in Bogotá
Blog: GoBackpacking - 13 August 2010
Before leaving Spain, I’d already had my wallet stolen by a pickpocket. Was traveling to Colombia going to be that much more of a risk than getting on a crowded metro after an FC Barcelona match? Due to a Couchsurfing stay in Bogota, I quickly began to feel at ease in a country with a [...]--------- Join Travel Blog Success today and learn to build a better travel blog.

Bad blogger!
Blog: Cogs Watch - 19 May 2010
Believe it or not, it's been three weeks since our visit to the Amazon and we've covered a lot of ground in the meantime. In fact, we've moved countries, we're now in Colombia! For us, constant moving around subsequently leads to blog neglect. I'm trying my best to rectify the situation with a report of the last few weeks, not only to keep Mum happy, but for my own records when I get home.

Art and Microfinance
Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 28 April 2010
When I first became a Kiva Fellow, I never imagined that one day I’d spend a cold, rainy afternoon in Bogotá discussing the merits of art-as-expression against art-for-profit with an aspiring artist and Kiva borrower.

Day 56: A Fling With The Colombian Capital
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 9 April 2010
Mural art and street signs of Bogota You can never truly, truly appreciate something until you experience it for yourself. The same truth holds for Bogota. It wasn’t until we arrived in the country’s capital that we began to understand every word in Lonely Planet’s introduction. "Colombia’s capital city will take your breath away – and it’s not just the altitude. Perched like a hawk at 2600m,

Day 54: Is this a scam?
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 7 April 2010
Bogotans chilling in Plaza Bolivar on a warm Easter Sunday afternoon Turned out leaving for the capital on Sat night was a bad idea afterall. The bus station was packed with Colombians heading home after their Easter long weekend. All buses seemed to be full and the standby lines were long. It was chaotic - already past 9pm with hundreds still hunting for an available seat to Bogotá, we were

Wandering about La Candeleria in Bogotá, Colombia
Blog: Trip Down - 4 March 2010
Kai and I arrived in Bogotá after a great mountainous ride from San Gil. As we approached the city the traffic became much more aggressive and I matched it by driving like a maniac along the 7 avenue as we made our way to the old center – La Candeleria. Arriving in the neighbourhood there were, [...]

Bogota - part 2
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 19 January 2010
Our first visit to Bogota was fairly fleeting so we very much looked forward to going back there. And the city really didn´t dissappoint second time round. Last time we didn't manage to see the Museo del Oro (gold museum) so that was first on the list. It is one of the best museums I have been to. Brilliantly laid out, all of the information is displayed both in Spanish and English and is well written enough to hold your attention - and what's more it's free on Sundays!

Bogota - Colombia
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 7 January 2010
We arrived in Bogota only one hour before our UK friends Chris and Jo. With the ever changing plans, I think thats almost perfect timing! All the speeding through the last remainder of Central America meant we'd now be with friends for Christmas and New Year - well, they're worth it! (I'm surprised the last three weeks haven't been a total blur, by the way!)

Panama to Colombia
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 6 January 2010
I must start firstly by wishing my readers a very Happy New Year. Secondly I'd like to apologise (again) for the lack of new blog posts. And thirdly when one does pop on t'internet, say sorry that its not been in any way coordinated with Viva Latin America. Clearly we are almost one in the same person these days and need to make an effort not to cover exactly the same ground! Nevertheless here's a slightly more condensed (and I reckon probably less entertaining) version of what happened from Panama to Colombia.

Beautiful Bogota
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 5 January 2010
I know that not all of Bogota is as lovely as the Candelaria area, and that there are some very rough areas. But Colombia is nothing like as dirty and dodgy as once it was, and as it still carries the reputation for, and Bogota is no exception. Nevertheless, we were confined more or less to [...]

The Longest Flight Ever – Panama To Colombia
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 5 January 2010
I’m such an idiot. When I started to plan the trip through Central and South America, I just looked at a map and thought, “Okay, they’re all connected. We’ll just get buses the whole way.” Oh, I was prepared for some really long bus trips, absolutely. But it never occurred to me that there were [...]
