From one sweltering town to another, we headed straight to Taganga, a small fishing town on the north coast. A quaint little town bordering one of the most beautiful national parks we've ever seen, the Tayrona National Park. We spent a couple of days in Taganga, soaking up the sun on the beach and drunkenly practicing our Salsa moves (tucked in a corner of the bar!). After a few days we were gagging to go to the national park and see it with our own eyes…w...

A whistle stop stay in Bogota before we headed to the notorious city of Medellin. Famous for drug lord Pablo Escobar and his Medellin cartel, this city has reportedly changed over the past few years since Escobar's death and the execution and arrest of most of the key cartel members. Once a city with countless murders a day, it's now brimming with nightlife and culture. We'd heard good things about the city prior to our visit from fellow travellers along the w...

Our first jungle experience and we certainly felt like we were in the rainforest when we flew into the town of Leticia. Thunderous rain and a hot, humid atmosphere greeted us as we hit the runway. We'd pre-booked accommodation at a lodge outside of the town and were collected by a mototaxi (a motorbike with 3 wheels) to take us there. It was pitch black when we arrived so we were clueless as to our surroundings. The night was pretty restless as the noises of ...

Our first taste of Colombia, landing in Bogota, the country's capital. After spending so much time in cities recently, we were not overly excited at staying in yet another large city and the madness it brings, but Bogota is different. We first noticed that we're a rare breed in Colombia...being ranked in the Top 10 of the UK's most 'dangerous' countries, the tourist population is relatively low, as we witnessed when walking the streets, so many stares and smile...

Some of the best scenery we've seen has to be the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. Despite being an incredibly poor country and home to some of the most deceiptful people we've met, the south of Bolivia is beautiful. For the duration of the 3 day tour of the Salar de Uyuni, along with 4 others we were squished into a 1980's Toyota 4x4. Driving for up to 8 hours a day, the entire route is unpaved yet breathtaking, truly no sign of life for miles, aside from the odd alp...
