Colombia Trip Review: Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, Culture, History, Food, 10 Nights

Our trip was to Bogotá, a very big city in the mountains; Medellín, a large city in the mountains; and Cartagena, a port city on the east coast.

Bogotá is a good landing spot to learn the history of the country and take a walking tour. There are great restaurants.

Medellín is an interesting city with a lot of more recent history. The strategies the government has followed to help the people are interesting (tram system). Again, great restaurants.

Cartagena is very hot, but I am glad we visited this city because it gives a different perspective of the country.

The trip to Palenque was very interesting and recommended.

My favorite part of the trip was staying at the eco-lodge. The permaculture tour and chocolate and rum tastings were interesting and fun. Due to rain, we were not able to hike the trail. The restaurant was fabulous.
