Awesome guide, Will save this video for future reference, gracias!
Fantastic 😀 your welcome! 😊
Hi Jordan and Emily, after seeing all of your videos about your South America travels it was interesting seeing this Travel tips and destinations video. The 2 of you work so well together as a team. Looking forward to your next video of your expenses for spending 6 weeks traveling around Colombia.
Thanks Ben! ❤️ The money video will be out Wednesday (it's a bit shorter)
Even though I have no plans currently to travel I found this video summarising everything very satisfying to watch. I love the idea of the map. It makes it so much easier to travel.
Thanks Hayley!! Definitely and was fun to make haha 😅 putting together an Ecuador map as we speak!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!

Couldn't thank you guys enough for this video! Heading to Colombia next week with little to no plan and this really helped to give some direction on what to do and how to prepare. Will be checking out the other videos in this series to help us out further!
We're so glad we could help! You're going ti have the best time travelling around Colombia!
Great video thank you
Thanks or watching!
Thank you Jordan and Em. I am currently sitting at the airport watching this video waiting for my flight to Medellin. I took a lot away from this video and will do my best to visit the places you regret missing out on. Safe travels.
Woah! Thank you so much, we're super glad it came in helpful 😊Have a great time in Medellin and Colombia!
How was it?
!Wow 😊👍
Thank you!
Its mountain ranges and beaches make it an unmissable destination, thanks for sharing, your channel is very good.
100% it's an incredible country that everyone should visit!
Thanks for Google maps guide!!! 🎉
Glad you like it! ❤️
Beautiful 👍🏻❤😘😍
Glad you liked it! 😊
Thanks for the great tips guys, I’m definitely going to use some on my next trip to Cartagena on Wednesday. Just started my channel recently and hope to grow it with quality content like yours
How was your time in Cartagena? Amazing! Good Luck - it is so much fun to create content ☺️
@@JordanandEmily Still here and loving every minute of it ❤️
Very helpful
Thanks so much! glad we could help 😄
Great information guys. Thanks
Thank you!
You sure managed to make the most of your six weeks in Colombia. Thank you so much for this excellent résumé and for all the helpful tips.
We really did! But still missed so much 😅
Congratulations on scratching the surface of this beautiful Country. You should go to Leticia / Amazonia on the next trip as well as Caño Cristales. It looks like you were in the wrong neighborhood in Cali but it is a lively place to go in December for La Fiesta de Cali! It’s an experience like no other! Please do go to Bogota as it is filled with history and lots of culture. Also, we are not so keen on promoting Escobar or any tours that glorify that murderer’s existence. Looking forward to following you on your next adventure. Cheers and happy travels!! ❤
Thanks so much! We loved our time in Colombia but certainly recognize there's more to see!
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in Colombia - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Ooh great tip!!

Thanks! We love your channel, you both seem so genuine. We wish you the best!!
Oh wow thank you so much! That's very generous of you 😊 Thanks again!!
Good videos, & good info. Thanks. There are more nice places in Colombia that are worthy to visit like San Andres and Providence Islands, Boyaca, Sierra Nevada Cocuy, Letizia Amazons, Eastern Plains, etc. Take care guys.
Thanks for this! I hope this comment gets a few likes and floats to the top so others can see!
Hey guys, Thanks for brilliantly breaking down your trip. I'm curious why you traveled using the bus(overnights) rather than the Flights(which I heard are very cheap compared with USD/CAD)? really appreciate the insights.
Yeah they can be cheap but one of the cheaper airline went out of business recently and we were flying super short notice, so busses worked out lots cheaper for us!
Another spot worth mentioning worth visiting that's not on the list here: Manizales, great chance to do an inexpensive trek to over 15,000ft elevation in stunning scenery.
Ooohh thanks for the tips!
Great helpful info thanks❤. I will buy your map😊. Were did you book your out of colombia fake tickets?
We use onward ticket!
How do you keep your gear safe when traveling to/through different countries? How to you keep yourself discreet when trying to capture whats around you?
Gooood question, we don't go to any uncomfortable places at night and typically stay away from dodgy looking places. But honestly, I think we've got a bit lucky over the year because I've heard of others who are cautious and still get unlucky 😞 we talk about it in our Colombia travel guide video!
@@JordanandEmily awesome, thank you so. much :)
Thanks!
Thank you! This is super generous 😊 we'll put it to good use! 😀
Hi! Omg thank you for this extensive video. Very very helpful. I’m going to solo backpack (for the first time) this October/November for about a month. I just CANT CANT CANT decide between Colombia or Vietnam. Both look lovely. Both have their pro’s and con’s. Is there any way you could assist me between making a choice between the two countries? I really want to book tickets this week and stop wondering 🥲
That is super tough haha, we loved both. Usually when people ask us some of our favourite places Vietnam is always on the list!
That being said, you really can't go wrong with either one! Both affordable, both diverse, both gorgeous, both easy to navigate by bus or train. Maybe pick which country has the biggest highlight! Like would you want to cruise ha long bay or the cartagena coast! Good luck haha its a tough decision!
Heads up about Palamino. It is a very safe and secure area, but going there has made me very aware of the dark side of tourism. The area is rumored to be controlled by the paramilitary, which is the reason why all the businesses close promptly at 11 pm. Additionally, it is an avenue that is overrun with businesses not owned by the locals. If you are interested in sustainable tourism, I would recommend omitting this town.
Oh wow this is great to know, thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for the video. You mentioned the post about the yellow fever vaccine, I am not seeing it.
Oh I'm not sure where it's gone! Definitely worth a google though, getting it for free was a big saving!
The saying for Latinoamérica is "Nothing works but everything works out".
thats amazing! genuinely love that saying
Hi guys, I want to ask if you booked your tickets in advance or did you book them at the station
Hi! We booked almost all buses online through busbud or other websites! You can book at the station for slightly less money but you run the risk of it being full
How it was with flying drone? any issues?
going to Colombia tomorrow for 3 weeks, planning to bring drone with me. :)
No problem with the drone at all!
@@JordanandEmily Which areas did you fly yours in? Are there restricted areas? I recently bought a drone and bout to launch it somewhere. I'm in Bogotá now.

thank you!
Your best videos was in Romania🇷🇴
We'll have to return there then!!
Is that pdf no longer availlable? Download link does not work. Thanks
Oh weird! We'll have a look at that this morning!
Hi there! I've just checked the links in the description and comment section. it should work now! If not, i've also listed it in our buymeacoffee shop for free too! Hope it works!
It is a shame that while in Barichara they did not take the opportunity to visit more places in the department of Santander. They could have stayed in the city of Bucaramanga and visited the Chicamocha National Park (PANACHI), the Cerro del Santísimo Ecopark, the municipality of Girón declared a national monument, the Mesa de los Santos, the Páramo de Santurban or the little town with the silk climate (Zapatoca)
We missed so much! Hope to come back one day
How much Aussie $ per day for basics ? Colombia Peso ?
We stuck to a $100 AUD per day budget, for both of us!
you stayed in El Centro? Other travelers.... Dont stay there. lol I have been a traveler in Medellin and I have lived here for 12 years. Don't stay downtown :)
we got so confused! haha where is good to stay?
@@JordanandEmily Poblado and Laureles. Envigado is the best but Most tourists don't like to stay out here.
I disagree with Cali. Cali is a great city warm climate great food and the street parties with live music are amazing. The people are very friendly.
Thats what we expected! It's likely we were just in a bad area!
Cali is a sht hole
Salsaaaa all day. It's a great city with beautiful ppl
"Insane" church ??? 😞
?
I have called Cali, Colombia my home since 2003 ( while doing work overseas and for several years traveling back and forth) and havent ever been robbed or gotten a single drop of Burundanga. Medellin is wayyyyyyyyy more dangerous now with the amount of first time idiot travelers walking around with bling bling or staring into their phones. Where there is honey.....there are bees. I have been all around the country and even just walked through most of the dangerous barrios in Cali/Bogota/Medellin. Even walked around Comuna 13 in 2004 before all of the glitz and glamour. Cali is only Dangerous if you put yourself into trouble with folks or just walk around with your head stuck up yer a**.
I guess it really depends what regions you go to within a city. And the time of day too!! All have good and rough areas somewhere I guess!
Completely missed Bogota ??? The best city in Columbia by far . Insane not to go to bogota .
Started in Bogota!
Thank you for highlighting how beautiful Colombia is, however, please, please, please learn to pronounce the names of the cities, the attractions and the foods. I can tell you had very little contact with locals because you mispronounced the majority of the names.
Thank you! Sorry about the names!
Shame on you folks! promoting Pablo Escobar's tour. That's awful and too ignorant from your side when Colombia and the Medellin area have many beautiful things to do and to know. Obviously, you did not learn anything from our incredible Colombian culture.
We didn't do the tour!
Wow! Really well done. We found this was well worth watching even though we actively follow your channel, and we're sure it will help a lot of travelers. We will definitely rewatch this video when we eventually make our way to South America.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. We know this video and the accompanying map took a lot of time and effort to create.
