| That Columbia is perfect destination for holiday. I | | | | residents. Citylies near Carribbean see. For those who |
| realized that in my first days there. But each passing | | | | don't know, majority of Columbia's coastline is at |
| day that thought was stronger and stronger. Now that | | | | pacific ocean buut it's quite hard to reach. |
| I got back to my home country I am sure it was the | | | | Since Santa Maria doesn't have many attractions we |
| best destination. | | | | soon head out to some smaller fishing town Taganga |
| I flew in Bogota later in evening and quite frankly at | | | | which is about 10km away from Santa Maria. |
| start I was a scared of city and country a little. I've | | | | First day in Taganga we decided to go to a beach |
| heared so many stories about Columbia and also | | | | and enjoy the beautiful coastline and see. Some of us |
| Bogota and none was nice. But that fear went away | | | | also took a massage which was stupidly cheap, |
| soon the day after when we took a walk in Bogota. | | | | something like 7€ for 1hour massage. |
| In saturday afternoon we head out of Bogota towards | | | | The following day was in my opinion by far the |
| north in old colonial city Vila de Layva. I think that time | | | | greatest. We visited national park Tayrona. This |
| stopped like 100 years ago in this city. Streets and | | | | national park is most known by indian tribe Kogi that |
| whole city still looks like in times when Spanish ruled | | | | live here. Sadly majority of tourists visit this park mainly |
| there. But still it is interesting and nice city. | | | | because it has nice exotic beatches and impresive |
| Next day we decided to see some attractions around | | | | nature habitat. Beatches are really clean, probably |
| Vila de Layva. For me most interesting site was | | | | because it is about 1 hours walk to get there. |
| ostrich farm. Apart that we also saw fossil museum, | | | | And believe it or not, Columbia is quite safe for travel. |
| some older church and observatorium from times | | | | We didn't have not a single issue with any authority or |
| before Spanish were here. Museum and | | | | anyone else. People I've met were also all nice, the |
| observatorium weren't so interesting, at least not for | | | | only problem is that there are only few of them who |
| me, that church was by far more interesting. | | | | can talk english. |
| Monday morning we head towards next city, San Gil, | | | | When it come to prices I cal tell you that Columbia is |
| which is known by adrenaline sports. Majority of us | | | | quite cheap country. Bus, food and hostels are very |
| decided to go rafting. At start the feeling was kinda | | | | cheap. |
| avkward since river has lot of mud and is quite dirty | | | | I would advise all of you that you add Columbia to list |
| but after some time I started to really enjoy it. We | | | | of your possible holiday detinations. For me it was well |
| didn't sleep over in San Gil, instead we took 10 hours | | | | worth it's money and it also was one of the best |
| bus drive towards Santa Maria. | | | | holidays ever. |
| Santa Maria in nice city with aproxametly half a milion | | | | |
