Consulting a Colombia travel blog is a great way to get inspired and find resourceful information about Colombia.
They give lots of travel tips about the latest Colombian destinations and how to improve your Colombia Itinerary.
It’s actually a lot better than all the guidebooks written by Lonely Planet, Guide du Routard or Moon.
They are sometimes much better than all the guides written by Lonely Planet, le Guide du Routard or Moon which can be quickly outdated in their information in a country that moves as fast as Colombia.
In addition, many wonderful but less touristy destinations may not be included when they are mentioned by experts in the country.
However, you shouldn’t rely on just one website – Except ours 😀.
- Data are maybe outdated
- Your tastes can be different from the writer
To help you out in your research of information, I’ve listed my favorite Colombia travel blog.
