  • Welcome to Bogotá, Colombia!
    We have officially made it to South America! We are starting this journey in Bogotá, the high altitude capital city of Colombia. Bogotá is actually the 3rd highest capital city in the world sitting at almost 9,000 ft above sea level. In this video we are taking a trip up the beautiful Monserrate Mountain via funicular to see the incredible views of the city.

    2. San Gil and cañon Chicamocha
    3. Parque Tayrona, Santa Marta Guajira , Cabo de la vela
    4. Quindío, Salento , valle del cocorra , filandia, etc

      Hi Sammy & Tommy, just need your suggestions planning to go to Colombia for 3 weeks. Planning to go to Bogotá, medelin, Cartagena, salento. Which city do you guys reckon should I go first? I’m landing in Bogotá.

    You kids are so wonderful and charming. I can't wait to see how the daily challenge goes. We have been in South America for the past 10 months (slow travel) and Colombia was one of our favorite countries. Love the food you can eat in Colombia, not just Colombia food, but all other dishes from around the world. Colombian restaurants are awesome. Enjoy your travels.

    From Orlando Fl, I notice you're having a good gastronomic time in Bogota, just remember that ajiaco (Bogota) is found in the Spanish Caribbean islands as well msybe with different ingredients; same can be said about the sancocho, bon appetit.

    Ajiaco is the beeest. Take this chance to try Lulo! It's a fruit that's not seen in many countries and it tastes awesome! For deserts an Oblea is a must as well and the mango biche in the streets with salt, lemon and pepper. ♥
