I have been crisscrossing Latin America since 1970 yes that makes me old I'm over 70. I remember when there were no maps and no guide books at all, it gave more mystery but a lot more difficulty. Sometimes whole towns would come out to see the white long-haired crazy American. Soon I am going to go back to Columbia and I want to say that I think you have one of the best presentations of Columbia that I've ever seen, thank you for your work.
Nobody comes close to the professional effort you put into your videos. Your micro and macro information pieces are incredible. Thank you for your work. Just got the Colombia Map legend
Hey Christianne Thank you for your great guide and giving the world a real picture of Colombia. I also have some comments: - The best time traveling you mention is the common rule of thumb and nothing is wrong with that. Saying that, we have many different regions with different rain and dry season. Therefore one should check the destinations and then the season. Very important for rainforest and the llanos for example, dry and rain season have their unique up- or downsides. - Salento… I am really not a big fan of what happened there. I would rather suggest to backpackers to discover the region of Caldas, also in the coffee region and much less backpackerish and even more spectacular! - Uber is back - Going to San Gil, you should not have missed Barichara. It is probably the most beautiful historic town of Colombia and just 90 minutes from San Gil and in my opinion even more spectacular than Villa de Leyva. - Tayrona National Park is not private; it is public but also indigenous territory. There are 3 closing month a year now since this year. It is not under new ownership but under new administration. - Pavo Real in Palomino, best choice! - Hahaha breaking down cars… you get what you pay for ;-) Great overall guide with good info, congrats. Hope you come back to Colombia soon, there is more to discover! Best wishes from Bogota frank
I spent a month in beautiful Colombia just before the airports were closed world wide. I absolutely miss this country more then any other place I’ve been to. I miss my Colombian friends. Best month of my life. Great place and amazing people. I want to live there.
For me you are the very best backpack-vlogger👏👏👏! I can keep watching your videos for hours and have an almost instantly urge to hop on a plane. The way you share your experiences is truly excellent, including maps, prices and tips on all kind of subjects. Your passion for backpacking is so evident, so natural and so positive, I love it! I am also a solo female traveller (now 61 😄) but next year will be my first solo-step in South-America, to be precise in Colombia for three months. With all your video’s on Colombia, it will be a piece of cake. Thank you 🙏
You are my new favourite TH-camr! I have been pondering over travelling solo after I leave uni next year but I’m so scared, you have made me 100% certain that I wanna do it! ❤️
This video was so detailed! Must've been months of research that you've given to us all fo free. Thank you so much Christianne, you have definitely Colombia on my list ♥
Your series about Colombia is absolutely amazing! Colombia is a dream trip to me since I was a child and now, watching your vídeos, I am even more atractted to this country!!
I`ve never seen such a detailed and extensive guide - amazing work! You hyped me completely to choose Colombia as my first South American destination this winter!
Loved the Colombia series! Spend 3,5 weeks there in January 2018 after sailing into Cartagena from Panama (strongly recommended!). A really nice day trip you can do from San Gil is the Camino Real between Barichara and Guane. Just take the bus to Barichara which doesn't take long and explore this picturesque little town (comparable to Villa de Leyva), take lunch and start the beautiful walk to the sleepy town of Guane. From there you can bus back to San Gil.
TIP: If you stay in Viajero in Cali, do the communda 20 tour. It is a new tour, and much better than Communda 13 in Medellin. You are literally escorted by Gang Members through one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Cali. Super super super authentic and the guys running the tour are so passionate about bringing tourists to their neighbourhood. Probably one of the best things ive ever done backpacking. Skip the Medellin tour. Do this AND DO A PARTY BUS!!!!!!
you're amazing! you're so inspiring and the fact that you wanna help other for free says a lot about you! when lockdown is over (soon hopefully) I'm quitting my job and I'm outta here!!!
You should own a travel agency to travel through Colombia Exactly all the places you visited... foreigners are so lost they don't know how to get places and end up loosing time and missing out great places. I'm Colombian
First of all, great video! very informative and comprehensive. I am Colombian and I learnt from your video MANY things that I didn't know. Second of all, can you make a comment in your next video pointing out that the real name of the country is COLOMBIA and not Columbia. This might be a detail for most people but it is a big deal for Colombians. Thank you!
I found your channel about a week ago when I was just doing a light look into what it would be like to travel solo. I'd never had a heavy interest before, but seeing your videos has me convinced that I have to do it once it's a bit safer to travel. Love your channel and you seem so fun and genuine! Hope you're well!
@@estebanquintero no es mi intención ofenderte ni ser grosera, pero creo que a veces es más lo que molestamos a los extranjeros con este tipo de correcciones. Estoy segura que la mayoría de colombianos no sabe como se escriben absolutamente todos los países del mundo.
I've been traveling around Colombia for years but never thought about the Pacific Coast more specifically Juanchaco. However after seeing your video of your time there, I definitely will be giving it a shot. Thank you for expanding my horizon
I said this on every video but this series has been incredible! I never really considered Colombia because of the safety stigma but now I'm obsessed haha
I am Colombian, I am watching these videos because I would like to visit the most beautiful places that Colombia has. Colombia is the most beautiful country in the world. Thanks for this video.
Just dropping by to confirm Uber still works in Medellin in February 2022 (still watching the video, you're amazing, thank you for putting this together!).
Thank you so much for recommending San augustin and popayan. Popayan takes you into a different time period! So lovely. There’s a place outside of Cali (about an hour and 45 mins) called buga and it’s like a little popayan. I can’t wait to send this video to my mother and plan more regional trips ❤️❤️
I’m a British guy living in Medellin for 8 years now. I’ve really enjoyed your videos about my amazing adopted country. I have shared them so friends in the UK are tempted to visit here. It’s sad to think that many places you feature may not exist after the pandemic is over. I know that in Medellin many hostels, restaurants, bars and clubs have gone out of business because of the quarantine. Thanks for producing such informative and entertaining videos about Colombia. One last point! Many comments talk about Columbia. It’s Colombia!!!! It really annoys local people when tourists spell it incorrectly.
Hi there I’m scottish living in Cali for many years I liked your comment will be sad to see the aftermath of this epedemic so many places will have to close.
Lovely video! I'm Colombian and now i'm an expat living in China, I'm checking many videos I forgot how to travel my country now, after 3 yeas trapped in china because of zero covid, and can't wait to be there with my gf. This video is awesome!
Loved this series and this video girl ! I really hope the Colombian hostels survive this pandemic cause they look fantastic and I hope I get the chance to stay in them!
There's a spot in the east part called caño cristales which was just discovered a few years ago. Also Bogotá is a historical/cultural city so there are tons of museums, churches and old buildings to visit; museo del oro (gold museum) is a must imo
I’m dreaming of Colombia now! 🤩 Your guide videos are so useful and you can tell how much effort must go into them- so thank you! Maybe I’ll make it to Colombia one day 🌎💫
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in Colombia - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Finally a video with real Geheimtips! I am proud of you! I am Colombian and for the first time in a loooooooong while i gained inspiration for what i want To explore in Colombia!
I’m very behind the n my subscription videos due to doing uni work. I’m so excited to watch this! Myself and my boyfriend has decided our first big (as in out of Europe) holiday together. Extremely helpful he can also speak Spanish xx
Amazing videos. When I went to central america everyone was talking sooo good about colombia so I decided that to be my next trip to. I still have the hopes up to be able to travel again and your videos makes me soooo excited and makes me happy in these times. Love your energy sooo much, you seem like a wonderful and fun person xx
Hi Christianne! I love this series and you've inspired me so much! I'm going to Colombia because of this video and I'd love to check out your itineraries for Colombia but I think I'm a little late to the party. Is there someway else I can access them other than subscribing? I just subscribed and got content on financing travel and it's AMAZING! But I'd love to see those itineraries too :D Thanks so much for your content!
Hi Christine, I'm from the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴 thanks for loving our beautiful country, I'm so glad people are beginning to feel better about traveling to colombia, we all have to be careful where ever you go, I visited in 2009 for 2 weeks and we stayed 3 nights 4 days at the Decameron Panaca Resort in Quindio, eje cafetero, it is a beautiful place, I highly recommend it, especially if you are traveling with children, they have a petting zoo with many different animals, it was an amazing experience, I also visited Salento, great video, greetings from USA 🇺🇲🙏🇨🇴
In Jardin, I definitely recommend booking a tour with one of the local companies to see the more remote 7 waterfalls. I went with Horizontes Ecotours and they were amazing. I mainly recommend this for safety reasons, as the rock, clay and surrounding areas can get very slippery and are quite remote. To fill up on your carbs I loved Bon Apetit for italian food. Enjoy!
Thankyou so much for this video!! I loved your Colombian series, it’s inspired me to travel there on my upcoming gap year, if corona blows over by next spring. If not I’ll definitely be heading there some day and for sure will be using your app!!
I would still recommend taking ubers in cities where they are available (Medellín, Bogotá) as they can be cheaper and less sketchy, only thing you have to do is for one person to seat in front with the driver. And you are golden
Makes me want to go to Columbia now!! Also curious if you ended up editing this whole video on your new ipad? Love the fun new details with the hand drawn notes!
I made all the sketches and screen recordings etc on the iPad but still edited this one on my MacBook.. I want to start with a smaller/simpler video to edit on the iPad first I think 😅
Love your videos! You're one of the youtubers that motivated me to solo travel 2 years ago for the first time as a female :) I was wondering how you use maps in your videos without copyright? Any advice is much appreciated!
This is SO incredibly helpful! Loved following the series so much and this is such a wonderful info-packed video. I've worked in Ecuador for years but because of visa reasons haven't had many opportunities to explore the other countries nearby but I will definitely be referring to this when I finally make it to Colombia!
It was SUCH an helpful video ! I should've been in Colombia at the moment, but well, we kinda have a global pandemic going on lol Thanks so much, makes me want to go to Colombia even more now !
Backpacking Bananas I’ve been watching since your New Zealand road trip a few years ago and every video is so interesting! I’m from the US and just this year started traveling (before Corona). I went to Greece for 9 days and it was magical. Looking forward to keeping up with your travel adventures and hopefully going on more of my own! 🥰
Good - on slow moving queues, I felt the same in USA and UK, those working in counters doing a slowest job. India definitely 5 times faster in most places than those in USA/UK
Thank you so much for this video! There is so much awesome information squeezed in absolutely brilliantly. I’m just planning three months in the americas and this my favorite travel video I have seen so far. Thanks thanks thanks
I’m from Barranquilla and it’s not a big city, there aren’t many things to do, so you did well tho hahaha 😂 By the way I fall in love with your channel. 💕🦋🙌
Thank you so much for all the information! I might bicycle tour Colombia February 2022 and I’ll include some of these destinations and avoid the touristy ones, I did backpacking trips in the past but now I’m not up to the social, hostal, nightlife, make friends side of backpacking. Now I prefer just to ride my bike alone.
I have been crisscrossing Latin America since 1970 yes that makes me old I'm over 70. I remember when there were no maps and no guide books at all, it gave more mystery but a lot more difficulty.

How embarrassing to be that old, that traveled, that worldly.... and still do the faux pas of calling it Columbia instead of Colombia.
how silly is your comment @@ChrisOnez718
wow I cannot believe how much effort you put into this - all the information is absolutely amazing
Nobody comes close to the professional effort you put into your videos. Your micro and macro information pieces are incredible. Thank you for your work. Just got the Colombia Map legend
Thank you so much for watching and purchasing the Map Legend 🙏
honestly I never considered colombia until I saw your series... now I want to go so badly!!
me too, especially because I want to learn spanish!
Yay that makes me happy, it's awesome 🤩
It's COLOMBIA not Columbia :)
Me too from Bangladesh hopefully next year
I wanna go back to Columbia too, I miss my vacations down there.
Hey Christianne

Do you think a month is a good amount of time for Colombia?
The way you set things out is very good. Clearly very organised person and it’s so good that you are creating these videos to help others
thank you for opening my eyes to a country which i never would have thought would be one i would want to travel to
My pleasure, that's always what I want ❤️❤️❤️

Backpacking Columbia would be an absolute DREAM
Colombia NOT Columbia
The quality in this video is insane!! I'm 16 and dont have the funds, but I watched the whole thing and found it so interesting :)
Travelling isnt as expensive as you think- start saving small bits here and there now
Looking at travelling Colombia this August, this was the MOST useful travel guide I have ever watched, and I've watched quite a few
I'm going to be in Colombia for an entire year beginning in July, and I am so happy I found this video! Thank you so much for sharing!
I would also recommend the little village called ,,Puerto Nariño" at the amazon river.
Making your map available for purchase is SUCH a good idea. Please keep doing that for future trips!
You are my new favourite TH-camr! I have been pondering over travelling solo after I leave uni next year but I’m so scared, you have made me 100% certain that I wanna do it! ❤️
I loved your Colombia series, you made me so excited about going and exploring this beautiful country 😍 btw we need the Solo merch to come back !!
Thank you ❤️❤️ ahh omg I know, my next focus is to get that back up and running I promise!
This video was so detailed! Must've been months of research that you've given to us all fo free. Thank you so much Christianne, you have definitely Colombia on my list ♥

i may be going to cartagena in february! was it safe?
Wish us luck...hopefully we can finally go to Colombia at the beginning of next year🤞🤞
We love Colombia. We are actually planning to go back there. Loving your Colombia series.

Is cali dangerous? Heard some bad stuff. Context, I am a mid 20s male from England.
Flying out end of this month
One of the best, most informed and unpretentious travel videos I've seen in ages. Great stuff!
So glad you found it useful! 😊
you're amazing! you're so inspiring and the fact that you wanna help other for free says a lot about you! when lockdown is over (soon hopefully) I'm quitting my job and I'm outta here!!!
Thanks so much ❤️❤️ I really do just wanna help everyone have the best trips possible 😊 so exciting quitting your job 😍 you go girl 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You are honestly the most thorough and professional traveller blogger! Such a smooth, clean video!
Thank you Katie ❤️❤️

This has probably got to be one of the most informative TH-cam travel Videos I have ever seen. Well done and thank you for the effort made.
Thanks for visiting our country!! and thanks for promoting it to more people :) I'm really glad you enjoyed your adventure in Colombia.

Hoorah, have finally watched this. Excellent video Christianne. I think you have inspired lots of backpackers to go to Colombia.
Woohoo thanks Martin! Such a fab country 😊
Loved this Colombia series lovely Christie!!! ❤ Makes me want to go there and explore once its safe to do so!
Thanks Sean! I hope it's not too long 🙏🏼
Our sorority group is going next summer! So this comes at the perfect time for planning! Thanks so much Chris for making it!!
Where are you going from?
Why did you guys choose Colombia? :)
I see how you're really getting some use out of that ipad! This will be a nice lunchtime watch as I sit here and MELT
Hahaha I am also melting 😅
This is literally incredible. You could make so much money off of this kind of detailed guide!
I have adored this series, my friend and I are really considering going to Columbia after this 😍😍
Yay 🤩🤩 it would be a great choice!
Colombia *
you are by FAR the best travel blogger i've ever watched... my next stop is colombia and you've done all the work for me already! Wow!
You missed a nice Towns like Honda y La Dorada along Rio La Miel it’s Amazing!
Thanks for all your tips, they’re really helpful! I missed your videos! Love from Spain! 😉✌️
Pleasure ❤️❤️
Heading to Colombia in 2 weeks and this was super helpful, thanks so much!!!
By far the best video guide I've seen for Colombia and probably best for any country ive visited. Thanks so much Christianne you superstar!
I’m dreaming of Colombia now! 🤩 Your guide videos are so useful and you can tell how much effort must go into them- so thank you! Maybe I’ll make it to Colombia one day 🌎💫
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Finally found a proper video to help me plan my trip to Colombia!!! Lovely!!! GRACIAS!!!
De nada! ❤️
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in Colombia - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Finally a video with real Geheimtips! I am proud of you! I am Colombian and for the first time in a loooooooong while i gained inspiration for what i want To explore in Colombia!
I'm a bit obsessed with travel youtube and I need to say, this was insanely good! Incredible, ty for this!
I’m very behind the n my subscription videos due to doing uni work. I’m so excited to watch this! Myself and my boyfriend has decided our first big (as in out of Europe) holiday together. Extremely helpful he can also speak Spanish xx
As a Colombian, I loved so much this series. You did a great and transparent review of your trip. Hope you come again and finish your adventure.
Thanks Esteban! I hope so too 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing all this information about your trip. This will be extremely helpful if I ever decide to go to Columbia!!
Pleasure 🤩❤️

I still have the hopes up to be able to travel again and your videos makes me soooo excited and makes me happy in these times. Love your energy sooo much, you seem like a wonderful and fun person xx
Hi Christianne! I love this series and you've inspired me so much! I'm going to Colombia because of this video and I'd love to check out your itineraries for Colombia but I think I'm a little late to the party. Is there someway else I can access them other than subscribing? I just subscribed and got content on financing travel and it's AMAZING! But I'd love to see those itineraries too :D Thanks so much for your content!
Hi Christine, I'm from the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴 thanks for loving our beautiful country, I'm so glad people are beginning to feel better about traveling to colombia, we all have to be careful where ever you go, I visited in 2009 for 2 weeks and we stayed 3 nights 4 days at the Decameron Panaca Resort in Quindio, eje cafetero, it is a beautiful place, I highly recommend it, especially if you are traveling with children, they have a petting zoo with many different animals, it was an amazing experience, I also visited Salento, great video, greetings from USA 🇺🇲🙏🇨🇴
There were a lot of youtubeadvertisementbreaks in this Video but i loved the overview you gave about a country that i am sure is great to visit!
In Jardin, I definitely recommend booking a tour with one of the local companies to see the more remote 7 waterfalls. I went with Horizontes Ecotours and they were amazing. I mainly recommend this for safety reasons, as the rock, clay and surrounding areas can get very slippery and are quite remote. To fill up on your carbs I loved Bon Apetit for italian food. Enjoy!

Really wanna try and head here 😍😍
Ahhh Christianne this is so good! Making me want to go to Colombia big time. You are so bloody good at making videos!
Thankyou so much for this video!! I loved your Colombian series, it’s inspired me to travel there on my upcoming gap year, if corona blows over by next spring. If not I’ll definitely be heading there some day and for sure will be using your app!!
This is the best and most usefull travelvideo I ever found on youtube! Thank you for making such high quality video's!
Remember Uber is not longer legal in Colombia, there’s other kind of apps like Cabify or others... ✨🇨🇴 love Colombia 🇨🇴
I would still recommend taking ubers in cities where they are available (Medellín, Bogotá) as they can be cheaper and less sketchy, only thing you have to do is for one person to seat in front with the driver. And you are golden
This video is AMAZING! So much info and so detailed! I do enjoy watching your video's every time!!
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Yess, been waiting for this. Now I can start planning💃🏾!
Wooohooo 🥳🥳
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it! thank you for showing my country to the world, this video was so beautiful!

Thank you 😊
Salento was my fav as well! love how you experience it the way we would
Sooo beaut 😍😍
I love Salento. I've been there several times and never get tired of it. Very delicious trout at Valle de Cocora.
thanks so much for your work! leaving in a few to south america on my own and I'm really excited to visit colombia
Wow, this is the most amazing video-tour someone has ever done about traveling in Colombia.. ❤❤❤❤thank you
Makes me want to go to Columbia now!! Also curious if you ended up editing this whole video on your new ipad? Love the fun new details with the hand drawn notes!
I made all the sketches and screen recordings etc on the iPad but still edited this one on my MacBook.. I want to start with a smaller/simpler video to edit on the iPad first I think 😅
Oh my god the editing! Is! So! Great!! You look like you are having fun with your ipad 😉 what a brilliant guide. Thank you!
Thanks!! 🤓🤓 Haha yes I'm LOVING the iPad lol
Love the suggestion for a stop along the way to Ecuador overland!
Love your videos! You're one of the youtubers that motivated me to solo travel 2 years ago for the first time as a female :) I was wondering how you use maps in your videos without copyright? Any advice is much appreciated!
Thank you for such a comprehensive and detailed video. Wow. I just changed my plans based on this. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
This is SO incredibly helpful! Loved following the series so much and this is such a wonderful info-packed video. I've worked in Ecuador for years but because of visa reasons haven't had many opportunities to explore the other countries nearby but I will definitely be referring to this when I finally make it to Colombia!
It was SUCH an helpful video ! I should've been in Colombia at the moment, but well, we kinda have a global pandemic going on lol
Thanks so much, makes me want to go to Colombia even more now !
So glad it was useful ❤️ ahh that sucks, at least there is more time for planning now!!
@@BackpackingBananas Definitely !!
I so hope we can travel soon, I'm itching to get traveling :( xx Great video as always xx

Good - on slow moving queues, I felt the same in USA and UK, those working in counters doing a slowest job. India definitely 5 times faster in most places than those in USA/UK
these ultimate guide videos are the best things ever
Great video!!! Cali is the spot that is a place you cannot miss. Dive into the salsa culture and you will develop a need sense of human connection.
Thank you so much for this video! There is so much awesome information squeezed in absolutely brilliantly. I’m just planning three months in the americas and this my favorite travel video I have seen so far. Thanks thanks thanks
I’ve been doing lessons w Whee this week. So fun! Thx for sharing 😊😊
Ah pleasure 😍😍🥳
I’m from Barranquilla and it’s not a big city, there aren’t many things to do, so you did well tho hahaha 😂
By the way I fall in love with your channel. 💕🦋🙌
Thank you for all this info! Very usefull.
Great VLOG. .. it showed so MANY places with excursions and with much honest information.
Thank you so much for all the information! I might bicycle tour Colombia February 2022 and I’ll include some of these destinations and avoid the touristy ones, I did backpacking trips in the past but now I’m not up to the social, hostal, nightlife, make friends side of backpacking. Now I prefer just to ride my bike alone.
I’m visiting Colombia on 1st January. Thanks for the great tips. I wish I could stay more time tho
