You have the best travel blog series...period! I simply can't believe how well-researched and fact-loaded your commentaries are. Wow. I've seen hundreds of travel television series and online guides, and yours is simply the best. Keep up the amazing work, and I will continue to stay tuned in. Don't ever stop what you are doing!
Sharp eye at 3:20 for the beauty of the white spider scurrying over the blue sand (or what I'm guessing is sand). And again at 7:32 with the bird perched over the beach washed by the waves followed soon after by the scene where the green of the leaf bits carried by the stream of ants mirrors the jungle's green back ground against the tans of the tree trunk. Then, the butterfly hovering over that brilliant orange flower pair. So many, many little gems. Thanks for giving us another great tour of the big sights and the little sights of a beautiful country.
Good eye for spotting those details - I try to include more and more detailed shots to give the videos a bit more depth and up my game. Thanks for your lovely words!
Great video! I've been living in Colombia for over two years in Medellin but haven't visited any beaches yet. This video gave me some good ideas, Gracias! I've recently started making travel videos around Colombia on my channel also. Such a beautiful country!
Backpacker Steve!! Back from Kili and on the editing train eh!! Last episode from Colombia is amazing man. Costeño and Palomino beaches look so good!! The sunset shots are great dude!! Lots of good info on Tyrona. Brought back good memories.
Awesome to hear from you - need to get more good b-roll...or work with someone like you (soon hopefully!). Back in the cave for more edits in the next weeks, Kili mini documentary to be published right after the Colombia videos ;) Say hi to little miss sunshine, eh!
Well done.. Just got back from all of these places and its super sweet to see it all again... 2 days isnt long enough to see all of Tayrona and PLEASE NOTE!!! THE LENGTHS OF TRAVEL PROPOSED ON THE SIGNAGE MAY TECHNICALLY BE THE DISTANCE>>> FROM SATALITE>>> BUT NOT WALKING DISTANCE>>> THIS IS MOUNTAIN HIKING PEOPLE! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Also, I am considerably agile, but taking the horses up and down these paths was exciting as it was unexpectedly challenging.
Estuve en Santa Marta. Tienen una tierra muy bonita y con mucho potencial Pensaba comprar un apt allá, pero me desinflé Me dio mucha tristeza ver tanta basura y falta de cultura y amor Por su tierra Creo que hace falta tomar conciencia y enseñar seriamente a respetar el medio ambiente y no arrojar Desechos en el suelo . Ojalá haya más programas del gobierno para limpiar y pavimentar la ciudad entera Más vegetación y recipientes en las esquinas para que la gente arroje los desechos . Son muy privilegiados,cuídenla .
I loved how specifically you showed everything you captured the nature and beauty of Colombia beautifully I’m Colombian and I want to go this summer you make me very excited to go and have shown me some great spots I have to try out especially from this video thank you so much for sharing and god bless 😊😊
i love it all videos from my country, i´m very happy that you have come to visit us, I send you thousands of kisses and hugs, and you are welcome again.
It's good for an English homework, I really liked your video, it's nice to see the beaches of Santa Marta and see the hotels I like the beach palomino river
Again, another beautiful video, That you make of my country, very good quality, exente audio, Steve what kind of video camera you are using, thanksssss
Very good info. Glad I found your channel. Just finished planning my Columbia trip, but thankfully I have similar locations on my list ;-) Looking forward for more videos
Extraño mi ciudad hermosa! Ojalá hubieran conocido lo bella que era la bahía de Santa Marta, pero la Drummond la dañó y para terminar la famosa marina la estancó con aguas putridas.
Hi Steve, have you ever heard from two lovely islands, called Providencia and Santa Catalina, hidden in the middle of the Caribbean sea? Both are an insular colombian province. Your 5000 inhabitants have a very particular origin: they are all blacks and in the past were slaves, deported from Nicaragua and Honduras. In spite of this, they are friendly when you ask something. The sensation you have, is that you are entering in another world in which the time has another dimension. The fact is that Providencia is far from the continent and only can arrive by SATENA a colombian company of planes or by ferry after 5 hours. The departures are from the island of San Andres. By plane are only 20 minutes. It is an special place for diving, due to the proximity of coral reefs, plenty of fishes from all colours you can imagine. Relevant are the lion fishes and sharks. The most beautiful beaches are Manzanillo and Fresh Water. Also you can hike the Peak (only 600 meters), with a beautiful sight of al the island. Santa Catalina has an exciting historic past: as it was an strategic point, famous pirates like Sir Francis Drake, who sorrounded for several times the country and some legends tell us about hidden treasures in the island. To protect the island from pirates, some fortress were built. Nowadays you can admire the rests of Fort Warwick, with its canyons in the middle of the jungle. Hollands, frenchs and english invaders arrived in different times to the islands, so you can find the testimonial proves in every place you visit. Crab cay is and special chapter: in this little island there is a little peak you can hike to the top and enjoy the most unbelieve sight from the different blue tones of the Caribbean sea.The reggae (Bob Marley) can be listen in every place. Due to local regulations, there are only little hotels. People speak english, spanish and creole, a mix from the two languages. The wooden houses follow the caribean spirit. My wife and I, spent 5 unforgetable days in these delightful island. Are there not enough reasons to visit the lost island in the Caribean sea?. Best regards and thank you for sharing your trips.
Hi Donna, I don't understand what you mean when you say "parasites in the jungle"... There is not parasites in these kind of jungles, but If you haven't been in these places before, It is a good idea to vaccinate against Fiebre Amarilla, wich is an ilness caused by stings of a specific mosquito, but Is is actually very rare to get sick because of that. And If there is safe to drink water from the faucet, well, most of people do it, I am sure that many people in this places are used to doing this and they don't get ill. Of course the water is treated in the aqueduct but It is likely to find parasites. It depends of the place but generally, in touristic places, you can drink the water directly from the tap, but you should ask for recomendations in every place you go
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. It is C O L O M B I A not Columbia. Very very different. Please fix your captions in your video. Thanks a Lot!!!
Asi se escribe en español, en otros idiomas es columbia, es lo mismo colon, columbus, es como obligar a alguien de habla inglesa a decir alemania cuando la conocen como germany, o si nosotros tuvieramos que decir deutschland porque ellos nos corrigieran.
Lol, Costa Rica is too much smaller than Colombia, for that reason It is more likely to find out a "decent" beach in Costa Rica without moving big distances. Moreover, tourism in Costa Rica represents a big part of the national economy. This is not only beaches, In this video you have a sanctuary of flora and fauna in an impressive ecosystem and very close of this site, there are mountains where coffee plants grows up! This is part of the biodiversity of the country... you did not understand the content..sorry for you
@@seiarokuingamo5615 You can not compare the amazingly beautiful, modern and first world cities in Colombia such as Medellin, Bucaramanga, Barranquilla, Cali, Bogota, etc etc with the villages in Cost Rica. San Jose the capital is not even a capital of a province in Colombia.
Hi there!!!
Just to say thank you for showing to the world my beautiful Colombia 🇨🇴
Amazing! I never thought Colombia can be so beautiful.

We were in Medellin only. We will try to explore other places in Columbia when we go back possibly this year. Thanks for the video.
Yeah next time you should learn how to spell ColOmbia properly
Gracias por el apoyo al turismo de mi país

Tayrona park.. paradise on earth
Me encanta mi santa marta bella soy una mujer nacida y criada orgullosamente en santa marta Colombia 😀😍😙😙😙
Casate conmigo
Estuve en Santa Marta.
Tienen una tierra muy bonita y con mucho potencial
Pensaba comprar un apt allá, pero me desinflé
Me dio mucha tristeza ver tanta basura y falta de cultura y amor
Por su tierra
Creo que hace falta tomar conciencia y enseñar seriamente a respetar el medio ambiente y no arrojar
Desechos en el suelo .
Ojalá haya más programas del gobierno para limpiar y pavimentar la ciudad entera
Más vegetación y recipientes en las esquinas para que la gente arroje los desechos .
Son muy privilegiados,cuídenla .

is it good to visit colombia in mid march to mid april? how about weather ?
I'm from Colombia, is good because is not to much crowded, however, April is the most rainy month of the year. Good luck!
Let me know if you come to Costa Rica!!!
Do youneed yellow fever vaccination for entrance into the national parks i will be in colombia sept
I've been there...no.
Is there a greater risk for parasites in the jungle and waterways? Is the water safe to drink?

Is the sea tempature nice??
yep, caribean like
How did you book Tyrona Tented Lodge for only 40 Euro?? They quoting $140 a night
I see they raised their prices to 62€ per night, which still is a good deal per room, considering the meals are included 😉
@@BackPackerSteve 62 Euro is still less than $85..why are they telling me $140?
@@neomt2 I got this price by booking the room through booking.com

Hola
Facts lol!!
Dude, not every second needs to have a damn soundtrack to accompany it. Its like watching a montage.
Cabo Dan Juan del guia
Besides the recycled garbage you call music that i see in every travel video. These places look dope
colombia is hot now
Its not columbia please get your spelling correct its COLOMBIA!
Asi se escribe en español, en otros idiomas es columbia, es lo mismo colon, columbus, es como obligar a alguien de habla inglesa a decir alemania cuando la conocen como germany, o si nosotros tuvieramos que decir deutschland porque ellos nos corrigieran.
Almost all videos about exploring places have the same annoying imbecilic music in the background ...
It's Colombia, not Columbia. Columbia is the capital of the US state of South Carolina.
So? Where did I say otherwise?
It looks cool but is nothing like Philippines
Make colombia great again
Nice video. Get some new music. This shit is in every travel video I see.
Too much hustle just to get to a decent beach, Highly recommend traveling to Costa Rica instead
That is the idea. It is more private while Costa Rica everyone already knows.

Just because you say so? Just your opinion and only basically!
Boring and nothing new
