South America Travel Blog Posts

I was lucky enough to spend an entire month in Colombia based in the wonderful Medellin. I had a whole month and I still feel like I didn’t get to see anywhere near enough of this amazing country. Find out more in my South America travel blog posts

I did get to gorgeous Cartagena where there are some fantastic boutique hotels, experience Colombia’s capital Bogota and trek into raw Colombia and its Rainbow River Cano Cristales which you can read about in my Colombia Itinerary.

But my heart belonged to the passionate, clever city of Medellin. There are so many fantastic things to do in Medellin. If you can, head to Medellin in August for the Feria de las Flores.

If you’re comfortable head out on a Pablo Escobar Tour to learn about Medellin’s most notorious son. Guatape is justifiably the number one day trip from Medellin.

Medellin is also crammed with great value restaurants – and super cute boutique hotels like the Art Hotel Medellin for sleeping.

And whilst it is not exactly close whilst you’re checking out Colombia have a sneak peek at my two weeks Chile Itinerary for more travel inspiration.
