19 days spent in Colombia, a total of 405 SEK a day with all the activities listed belo with food and drinks. We are still on the budget, even though it gets more expensive the more north we go. We had to stay at some hotels a couple of times, instead of hostels, because we arrived at night and were recommended to check in at closest place. 

 

Colombia, the best country so far! Higlights: Medellin and Taganga. Skip: Santa Marta, just go straight to Taganga instead. Don't miss Cocora Valley in Salento (as we did), it's supposed to be beatiful! If you know your route in advance, check the flights. They are as much as the buses but takes less than an hour.

Hej där :) Ramlade in på din blogg (om Colombia) när jag googlade på typ restips i Colombia! Verkade som ni haft en störtskön tid i landet. Jag funderar på att dra till Cali på karnevalen i slutet på december å fira 40 års kalas där, och tänkte höra med dig, om det va ett medvetet val (å isf varför?) att skippa västkusten å ett dopp i stilla havet?

PS Tog du några speciella vaccin innan resan till Colombia, och käkade du malariapiller alls/hela tiden när ni va där? :) Mvh Andreas
