    I have been crisscrossing Latin America since 1970 yes that makes me old I'm over 70. I remember when there were no maps and no guide books at all, it gave more mystery but a lot more difficulty. Sometimes whole towns would come out to see the white long-haired crazy American. Soon I am going to go back to Columbia and I want to say that I think you have one of the best presentations of Columbia that I've ever seen, thank you for your work.

    Hey Christianne
    Thank you for your great guide and giving the world a real picture of Colombia.
    I also have some comments:
    - The best time traveling you mention is the common rule of thumb and nothing is wrong with that. Saying that, we have many different regions with different rain and dry season. Therefore one should check the destinations and then the season. Very important for rainforest and the llanos for example, dry and rain season have their unique up- or downsides.
    - Salento… I am really not a big fan of what happened there. I would rather suggest to backpackers to discover the region of Caldas, also in the coffee region and much less backpackerish and even more spectacular!
    - Uber is back
    - Going to San Gil, you should not have missed Barichara. It is probably the most beautiful historic town of Colombia and just 90 minutes from San Gil and in my opinion even more spectacular than Villa de Leyva.
    - Tayrona National Park is not private; it is public but also indigenous territory. There are 3 closing month a year now since this year. It is not under new ownership but under new administration.
    - Pavo Real in Palomino, best choice!
    - Hahaha breaking down cars… you get what you pay for ;-)
    Great overall guide with good info, congrats. Hope you come back to Colombia soon, there is more to discover!
    Best wishes from Bogota
    frank

The way you share your experiences is truly excellent, including maps, prices and tips on all kind of subjects. Your passion for backpacking is so evident, so natural and so positive, I love it! I am also a solo female traveller (now 61 😄) but next year will be my first solo-step in South-America, to be precise in Colombia for three months. With all your video’s on Colombia, it will be a piece of cake. Thank you 🙏

    Loved the Colombia series! Spend 3,5 weeks there in January 2018 after sailing into Cartagena from Panama (strongly recommended!). A really nice day trip you can do from San Gil is the Camino Real between Barichara and Guane. Just take the bus to Barichara which doesn't take long and explore this picturesque little town (comparable to Villa de Leyva), take lunch and start the beautiful walk to the sleepy town of Guane. From there you can bus back to San Gil.

    TIP:
    If you stay in Viajero in Cali, do the communda 20 tour. It is a new tour, and much better than Communda 13 in Medellin. You are literally escorted by Gang Members through one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Cali. Super super super authentic and the guys running the tour are so passionate about bringing tourists to their neighbourhood. Probably one of the best things ive ever done backpacking. Skip the Medellin tour. Do this
    AND DO A PARTY BUS!!!!!!

    I'm Colombian and now i'm an expat living in China, I'm checking many videos I forgot how to travel my country now, after 3 yeas trapped in china because of zero covid, and can't wait to be there with my gf.
    This video is awesome!

    Great video!!! Cali is the spot that is a place you cannot miss. Dive into the salsa culture and you will develop a need sense of human connection.

    There's a spot in the east part called caño cristales which was just discovered a few years ago. Also Bogotá is a historical/cultural city so there are tons of museums, churches and old buildings to visit; museo del oro (gold museum) is a must imo

    I’m a British guy living in Medellin for 8 years now. I’ve really enjoyed your videos about my amazing adopted country. I have shared them so friends in the UK are tempted to visit here. It’s sad to think that many places you feature may not exist after the pandemic is over. I know that in Medellin many hostels, restaurants, bars and clubs have gone out of business because of the quarantine. Thanks for producing such informative and entertaining videos about Colombia. One last point! Many comments talk about Columbia. It’s Colombia!!!! It really annoys local people when tourists spell it incorrectly.

    Thank you so much for all the information! I might bicycle tour Colombia February 2022 and I’ll include some of these destinations and avoid the touristy ones, I did backpacking trips in the past but now I’m not up to the social, hostal, nightlife, make friends side of backpacking. Now I prefer just to ride my bike alone.

    Hi Christine, I'm from the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴 thanks for loving our beautiful country, I'm so glad people are beginning to feel better about traveling to colombia, we all have to be careful where ever you go, I visited in 2009 for 2 weeks and we stayed 3 nights 4 days at the Decameron Panaca Resort in Quindio, eje cafetero, it is a beautiful place, I highly recommend it, especially if you are traveling with children, they have a petting zoo with many different animals, it was an amazing experience, I also visited Salento, great video, greetings from USA 🇺🇲🙏🇨🇴

    In Jardin, I definitely recommend booking a tour with one of the local companies to see the more remote 7 waterfalls. I went with Horizontes Ecotours and they were amazing. I mainly recommend this for safety reasons, as the rock, clay and surrounding areas can get very slippery and are quite remote. To fill up on your carbs I loved Bon Apetit for italian food. Enjoy!
