COLOMBIA: Bogota/Cartagena/Santa Marta
Spending my 2018 Christmas holiday in Colombia. It's my first time visiting South America and Colombia was a great introduction. I started in the Capital of Bogota where I learned about Colombia's rich history and culture doing the 3 hour graffiti bike tour, viewed the city from on top of Monserrate mountain, celebrated the national holiday Dia de las velitas which translates to ( Day of little candles) and went to marque de la sal (Salt Cathedral). I then headed down to the northern coast of Cartagena to see the walled city called old town, the fortress of Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, watched the sunset at Cafe del Mar and bathed in the live mud volcano of El Totumo. My final stop was Santa Marta where I hung out at the popular night life spot parque de los novios, tubed down the Palomino river and spent a day hiking and enjoying the beautiful beaches of Tayrona National Park.

Rodadero Beach Santa Marta
The beaches of El Rodadero are perhaps one of the most popular not only of Santa Marta, but of the Colombian Caribbean. Its white sands and the mountains that surround them attract visitors who come in search of sun and the possibility of practicing nautical activities such as skiing. The area has a wide range of hotels and other tourist services.
El Rodadero, is a beach located in Santa Marta in the Bay of Gaira, is the most visited point of the city. Just 5 km from the city center this beach is a symbol of the city as it is known nationally, as a spa of excellent quality.
Go to Minca! Colombian Mountain Paradise near Santa Marta
Minca is a great little town nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the northern part of Colombia. It is a cool retreat from the coastal cities that are a common tourist draw. Check out the coffee plantations, waterfalls, swimming holes and great places to stay.
Minca would be a great addition to a trip to Parque Tayrona and Santa Marta. In fact, I would choose it over Santa Marta if I had a choice.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

— About Exploring Colombia —
Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.
For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

CARIBBEAN TRAVEL VLOG: What To Do In Santa Marta, Colombia
✻ ★ Learn how to travel more in 12 simple steps! Download our FREE eBook now: ★ ✻
The city of Santa Marta was one of the last stops on our month long journey around Colombia. Dan & I had spent the last 6 days soaking up the history and enchanting beauty of Cartagena and now we were ready to continue the adventure up to the next Caribbean hotspot.
Despite hearing that Santa Marta Colombia was fairly run down and didn’t offer much in the way of things to do, we wanted to stay for a few nights just to see for ourselves.
Santa Marta Colombia is the oldest surviving city in the country and second oldest in the whole of South America. The first Spanish settlement occurred here in 1545 and it became the fourth largest city in the Caribbean region of Colombia.
Now Santa Marta is a prominent tourist destination, not only because of its history, hot weather and rugged charm but because it also serves as a gateway to Colombia’s most beautiful beaches, mountains and national parks.

THE BIRDERS | A Melodic Journey through Northern Colombia
The Birders, a documentary film on Colombian bird diversity and birdwatching presented by ProColombia, with support of FONTUR and directed by Gregg Bleakney.
The film highlights Colombian local birdwatching guide, Diego Calderon-Franco and National Geographic photographer / videographer Keith Ladzinski as they travel through one of the most diverse bird regions in the world to capture new and rare birds that have never been filmed before.
The Birders, also takes people through the Colombian landscape, highlighting several of its’ top locations, culture, birds and music. As well as; Los Flamencos Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, in the Guajira Peninsula. El Dorado Bird Reserve, in the Santa Marta Mountains. Minca and surroundings, in the Santa Marta Mountains. Tayrona National Natural Park and El Chamicero del Perija Bird Reserve, in the Perija Mountains.
The films aims to change the perception of Colombia through showcasing the diversity of birds who live there.
“Birdwatching in Colombia is a real adventure. These guides and biologists are always finding new things”, says director Gregg Bleakney. Diego Calderón agrees, “Being a bird guide in Colombia is absolutely crazy, we are basically living the Victorian times of exploration.
You can choose a remote corner of the country and almost for sure you are going to find surprises: new species, new subspecies, new range extensions. Colombia is a box of surprises!”
Along with the unique birds and exquisite landscape, The Birders incorporates an original score from local musicians inspired by the bird songs found in the film.
Mucho Indio - Teto Ocampo
Teto Ocampo has spent the past 10 years learning to play the Arhuaco people’s ancestral songs. Though his band, Mucho Indio, Teto takes listeners on a cosmic journey through space and time by translating Colombia’s most ancestral melody, the song of the hummingbird, to a modern format. He composed the melody with a rare charu flute, an instrument that only a handful of people on planet have the knowledge to play.
Song name: Kumuchikayu
Sidestepper English musician Richard Blair is most well known as the founding member of Sidestepper, a pioneering Colombian band that has paved the way for a modern generation of Colombian artists who have successfully gone global through mixing local and foreign musical concepts.
Richard’s meditative song was inspired by “mixed migrant flocks, a phenomenon where foreign birds migrate to Colombia’s Caribbean region to live, travel and sing with local groups of birds.
Song name: To Close Your Eyes
Ghetto Kumbé Together with the team of the documentary, Edgardo Garcés travelled to his birthplace of La Guajira to record the song of the Vermilion Cardinal. Edgardo tattooed the bird on his arm to ground himself after the death of his parents. He had never seen the bird in the wild before. The story of this eye-catching bird’s connection to indigenous Wayúu culture is the inspiration for this modern Afro-Colombian electronic song.
Song name: Soy Guajira
Frente Cumbiero Using Colombian Cumbia as its base, Mario Galeano and his band Frente Cumbiero composed a modern take on the classic USA surf songs of the 1960s, but with a birder’s soul. The song draws inspiration from the endemic Santa Marta Parakeet. These social birds
live in flocks on a massive ridgeline overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Magdalena River Valley, the birthplace of Cumbia music.
Song name: Parakeet Ridge
El Leopardo With his band El Leopardo, Daniel Broderick (aka Dani Boom) composed a thumping electronic club song that mirrors the Manakin bird’s slow build-up to a frenetic courtship display. The mechanical clapping sound of the White-bearded Manakin’s wings, recorded by the documentary team in Tayrona National Park, is the foundation of Dani’s composition. The courtship call of the Lance-tailed Manakin provided a secondary melody.
Song name: Manakin Boom
