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!! ❤

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.

@JordanandEmily 14 сағат бұрын

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.

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 🥲

@JordanandEmily 4 ай бұрын

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.

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)

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**.
