    The Colombian Pacific coast is a hidden gem, it's just beginning to open to tourism so for most part is very small tourism still , is a very special place because or it's nature and raw Beauty, I want to go there one day hopefully.

    The Pacifico hostel is on an island and you crossed the river that can only be crossed when the tide is low. It’s a spectacular place but I wouldn’t want to be lost in that town Juanchaco when the sun sets. I’m glad everything worked! Loved this Vlog.

    Update. Meals at hostels are now 30milcop And tour 75cop to waterfalls. Hardly anyone at all staying on weeknights aside from holidays. A new hostal Manigua with privates and 5 5 bed dorms is now a good alternative because they amenities are better with ac or fans in room, plus in room dill bathrooms and view of Juanchaco beaches and port. No rustic mosquito net beds. Less of a backpacker vibe. I'm the only one staying mon- wed nights in late Feb. A bit lonely but 53k per night with breakfast. Catch is you have to swim a small channel or contact an employee to boat you across. At lowest tide you can wade across knee deep. Can still visit Pacifico but Manigua hostal put up a tall barbed wire fence in between making it necessary to wade the channel again to access a different stairway to the trail connecting Juanchaco to Pacifico probably what she took. Its quicker to explore west side beaches from Juanchaco

    • @Dreadfultime
      @Dreadfultime 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The country has a pretty robust network of highways, however depending on the time of year like rainy season, some might be closed and alternative routes are long.
      Colombia has three long mountain ranges through the middle. So it has virtually no straight roads. Sometimes it is best just to fly, it's pretty common and now you can find at least two low cost airlines. Bogota-Medellin was like 50 USD last time I checked for the round trip.

    I was there in 2006 and then 2008 to live for 2.5 years. I stayed in hostels and small houses. I didn’t speak Spanish at all. Now I speak almost fluently as I’ve kept it up. I worked in Colombia in the university teaching English to students. Then I went back to Brazil to live there. At age 44 to 50. I don’t regret it even though my life is tough right now as I swapped a corporate job for a non materialistic life. The tax office pursue me for the tax I don’t owe as I was out of the country. This country is so rigid and inflexible it depresses me . I dream of travelling again away from this nonsense. Next time I wouldn’t come back. Here is a ream of rules and regulations. Everyone strives for better education and money but now look......neither has stopped nature. Respect the Amazon .....I was there and the tourists were lifting sloth animals out of trees, crocodilians from the river and touching rare species and generally disturbing the eco system. I stood back and said no - don’t touch the animals. Where did the virus come from - humans hunting animals and touching them. That is what we must show in videos too. How to interact and behave in nature. We are the problem not the viruses.

    I wonder how humid it is there. When I went to Ecuador and Colombia recently I was expecting very high humidity, but not a single place I went was noticeably humid. I can see now that the Caribbean coast of Colombia and part of the Ecuadorian coast are fairly temperate - there are cacti all over. Even places where it rained daily did not feel humid to me, but you can tell by looking at Google Maps the Pacific coast of Colombia is very green, so I bet it's more humid than anywhere I went. Just thinking out loud here...
