Today, Gabby and I had breakfast at the hotel and flew to the airport. Gabby flew to Los Angeles and I’m flying to Lima.

This morning, we woke up and took a taxi to just outside the walled city.  We reserve a bus ride to Playa Blanca, a white-sand beach about an hour away from the walled city.  We spent about 3-4 hours at the beach getting lunch, getting a drink at a bar, and walking the white sand […]

This morning, we woke up, had breakfast downstairs in the hotel, and then taxi’d over to the walled city of Cartagena.  We walked around for a few hours, visiting a few places including San Domingo Plaza, San Alberto Cafe, Crepes and Waffles, and  a historical jail-turned market.  Afterwards, we walked about 30 minutes to a […]

This morning, we work up at 5am and started hiking at 6am.  We were in camp 1 by 9:30am and I was feeling extremely exhausted and worn out.  We took a 30 minute break at camp 1 where we had packages cakes, passion fruit juice, and I lied down on a bench for 15 mins.  […]

Today we woke up by 5am and by 6am we were on the trail headed to the lost city.  We toured around the city with Daniel and Santiago and we had an hour free to walk around and take photos.   Afterwards, we walked the trail back to last nights camp and had lunch.  We […]

This morning, we woke up at 5am, had a quick breakfast of eggs and coffee and started hiking.  We witnessed a beautiful sunset and the landscape was much more green and scenic than yesterday.  At around 10am, we stopped in another camp and went swimming for about 30 mins and had lunch. We then continued […]

Today I woke up at 5:50am and texted Michelle good luck on her test at 8am.  Gabby and I then went to the lobby of the hotel to enjoy a breakfast consisting of omelette, fruits, and coffee. At 9am, the Expotur driver showed up at the hotel and we packed into the van and were […]

Today, we spent most of the morning and early afternoon working at our Hotel in Medellin and arranging for laundry.  During the early afternoon, we took a taxi to the airport and then boarded a plane to Santa Marta. We checked into our hotel in Santa Marta and then went our for a vegetarian dinner […]

This morning, we visited Park Arvi and hiked for a couple of hours around the park.  The nature was scenic, but definitely didn’t compare to the waterfall outside of Bogota.  I also didn’t like how they tried to make money by charging people for trail guides, instead of just giving us a map and allowing […]

This morning, we woke up at 6AM, had breakfast at 6:30AM, and left at 7:30AM for Guatape.  Instead of paying 100,000 pesos to be part of a structured tour, we instead decided to visit on our won.  We took a taxi to the Norte Terminal and then took a bus to Guapate.  Guapate is known […]
