Colombia

Atlantis (An Ecological Community)

June 26, 2012

atlantis home

  I’ve always wanted to visit Jenny James at her home in Colombia, South America, but never had the balls to. Anyways I’ve read her newsletters over the years and have the general idea of her adventurous life and the tragedy of the murder (July 2000) of her grandson Tristan and her son-in-law Javier, both 18 years old in Colombia. So I’m giving you an introduction, which … [Read more...] about Atlantis (An Ecological Community)

Pasto, Colombia

May 26, 2010

pasto_statue

Pasto is more of a city that you stopover for the night on your way to the border of Ecuador and Colombia, South America. I spent the night at the Hotel Koala Inn. Seems you ought to be aware of your surroundings once it starts getting dark. The city of Pasto seems to be suffering from a graffiti problem, because once you walk around you will notice it on many buildings. … [Read more...] about Pasto, Colombia

El Maco (San Agustin)

May 17, 2010

Location: Heading toward the Parque Arqueologico you take a right and head up a hill. El Maco is on your right. Watch for sign on right about 1km out of town. Price: $ 8.00 to 20.00 USD (I guess they have camping that is cheaper.) I paid $10.00 USD for a complete dorm to myself (off season), since I was worried about my valuables. … [Read more...] about El Maco (San Agustin)

San Agustin, Colombia

san_agustin_horses

Even though I’m having trouble finding the elusive “San Isidro” magic mushroom, I must say I really like it in San Agustin, Colombia. The people are very friendly and they have this cool public pool fed by a mountain stream (soon to replaced with a fancy pool.) … [Read more...] about San Agustin, Colombia

Popayan, Colombia

May 9, 2010

popayan_statue2

Finally I found a city in Colombia, South America that I’ve really come to enjoy. It kind of reminds me of Antigua, Guatemala. You can find some cheap hotels to stay in if you walk a couple blocks from the main tourist area. The people are super friendly and you can eat here pretty cheap if you look around. The night are refreshingly cool and the days are not to … [Read more...] about Popayan, Colombia

manizales_colombia3

I spent the night here and hit the road the next day to Popayan, Colombia. First I checked out a couple hostels that seemed to be in a boring location. Then I caught cab to downtown and found it rather pleasant and the people friendly. I stayed in the hotel Avenida. … [Read more...] about Manizales, Colombia

Water tower observation deck (Manizales)

May 7, 2010

manizales_water_tower

Price: $1.00 USD to top (not sure on extreme package $3.00 USD?) I thought this was a good idea in Manizales, Colombia. They made an ordinary water tower into money making venture. They charge one dollar to go to the top. Plus they have an extreme package (not sure on price) where you can put on a climbing harness and walk outside the upper deck. Seems like a good ideal for … [Read more...] about Water tower observation deck (Manizales)
