Bogotá • Salento • Jardín • Medellín • Santa Marta & Minca • Cartagena • Cali

From September 2023 to the end of March 2024 I went on a South American backpacking trip with my friend. Our plan was intentionally loose, and in fact, Colombia wasn’t even on our list. But as the months went by, we kept meeting travellers who spoke about it with such excitement that it sparked our curiosity. By the time we finally decided to go, we had gained the confidence that comes from months on the road. My time there was complicated - some experiences were eye-opening and rewarding, others were difficult and even unsettling. Still, it became one of the countries that taught me the most about backpacking. In this section, I’ll share those reflections along with practical tips for future travellers.
