Cartagena By Night

At night, Cartagena comes alive. There are lots of little bars and unique roof-top drinking venues scattered all over.

A night out typically kicks off in the square with something to eat. Visitors can then soak up the atmosphere with a few drinks and watch the horse carriages circling the town.

Considering the reputation that Colombia has earned itself in the past, it feels safe as houses. It has a mix of backpackers and tourists and is especially popular with Americans due to its proximity to the States.

Cartagena has a great buzz, and there is nothing to be particularly worried about so long as you use your common sense when out and about, as you would in any city.

I am a great believer in personal attitude, look for fun here and you will most definitely find it.

And even Will Smith gets jiggy in Cartagena…!

Guatapé

Only about 50 miles out of the city, Guatapé is an easy trip from Medellín. It is a cool place to visit for the vibrant buildings and atmosphere – it's one of the most colourful places you'll ever visit. Tourists are drawn here for El Peñón de Guatapé, the Rock of Guatapé.

I've been told that adjacent to the rock is a home of famous footballer James Rodriguez. He is an incredibly talented player, embodying the Colombian spirit, who brought home the Golden Boot from the 2014 World Cup. 

A group of friends first managed to scale the rock in the 1950's. It took them 5 days.  A staircase was eventually built into a single crack that runs from top to bottom, and now it serves as a tourist destination. The rock is 649 steps to the top. But well worth the effort, the views are incredible. 

And yet another cool thing about this place: it is nestled within Colombia's Coffee Triangle. This region is famous for producing the bulk of Colombian coffee due to the altitude, rainfall and frost-free climate.
