Yeah we planned extensively, but left days free to just wing it. We did more or less all we planned to. I loved it, will definitely return.
It hardly rained even though when I checked the weather report it said it was going to rain every day. It was absolutely baking every day and so humid.

Yeah it’s a 12 hour is flight. I’m hoping to get some sleep.
You were smart to plan people just go out there. This is the rainy year in Colombia so before the normal rainy period was over it would rain most days. Not that polite London Rain hard core thunderstorms and rains that lasted all night and ruined people’s plans.

Yes it pays to check a weather report before you come down.

Frankly after living in Hilly Cali I can’t stand super humidity

I didn’t go for the hoes


My friend and I went, neither of us had been before.

Paragliding was circa £70

I didnt tour the actual house but drove past what they claim to be a house that belonged to him on the Guatape boat tour and Rosario Island tour.
I think his house in the city is called Hacienda Napoles with the Plane in the front alledgelly the first Plane that flew Coke into Miami.

a Girl or a Girlfriend?

Dudes are thinking that you went down there on a smash cation

Lord knows women get their smash on in Jamaica ( and Cartagena) but if you went on a Girl’s trip most of the brehs would assume that you were celibate down there.

Bogota is really really white.

It’s like being in another country. There’s salsa there but way more Rock n espanol there. No good pacifico ( Colombian soul food) restaurants to speak of Cold antiseotic but orderly rudest people in Colombia but good infestructure and a lot to do.

A girl who is a girlfriend. It doesn’t appeal to me to smash other ppl unless I’m with my man.

Okay You’re a Girl that went with another Girl that is your friend. That clears up a lot.

Black Man’s Travel kinda been on a anti Colombia tear responding to videos where Black women have been robbed in Taxis in Carty specifically.

I never been to Carty so I don’t know Cali has way more crime than Cartagena but there’s not been cases Ive heard of of taxis robbing people or setting them up to be robbed

Did you have any safety concerns or do you think the whole safety issue is overblown.

Medellin is much more dangerous for tourists in my estimation If you’re looking for hoes

Outside of that the issue seems to be in the Tourist trap of Parque Llreas and even that’s being fixed.
