Perhaps one of the more famous hikes near Bogotá, the La Chorrera waterfall is the highest waterfall in Colombia with a 590 metres drop and the sixth highest in South America. Sadly, as you can see from the above photo, we couldn’t see the top due to the cloud but the most does have its …

Laguna de Guatavita, one of the fabled locations of El Dorado, was once filled with with Gold and Emeralds. The small lake in a crater was considered sacred by the Musica people who left offerings for their Gods. Today its easily accessible from Bogotá by bus or car and for the more active there is […]
So this was it. Time to head to San Andrés my last destination. It felt a little bittersweet. I was excited to visit there, my first Caribbean island, but I was also heading home and right now I was done with travelling. I had completed my journey and I kinda knew that when I crossed […]
This is the second to last post I will write for this trip and this one is going to be different. I had two and a half weeks left and after completing my last hike, well last altitude hike but I’m not really sure it really counts as a hike anymore if its doesn’t take […]
I was a little crushed as soon as I found out this upcoming weekend was going to be a holiday. Those are the best weekends topend in cities and to plan ahead where the parties are the best. So far I’d missed everyone and ended up in a hike or in the case of Baños […]

I woke up early at 6am, did my best not to wake anyone and probably failed, booked an Uber to the bus terminal and found that the hostel had been kind enough to pack me breakfast and leave it on the side. My challenge today was to get to Cali which would involve 4 different […]
