Bogotá, Colombia

Bogotá, Colombia’s bustling capital city, is one of the best places to explore Colombian culture for the very reason that the city is full of Colombians from all over the country. In this video I check out the view from the top of Cerro de Monserrate, see the sights around Plaza de Bolívar, and travel to the small town of Zipaquirá, where I head deep underground to visit the famous Salt Cathedral, a cathedral carved out in the middle of a mountain.


Medellín, Colombia

Medellín, Colombia’s second largest city, is a favorite amongst visitors to Colombia due to its amazing scenery, friendly people, and surprising number of sights to see throughout the city.


Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena is easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world and one of Colombia’s most popular cities to visit. In this video I wander the city’s picturesque “Old Town,” visit a museum dedicated to the city’s history of inquisition and torture, and explore the underground tunnels beneath the massive fort, Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas.


Colombia’s Caribbean Coast

Colombia’s Caribbean Coast has some of the best, as well as some of the most secluded, beaches in the entire Caribbean. In this video I visit Santa Marta, the traditional jumping-off spot for treks into famed Tayrona National Park, sail to Bahia Neguanje and to the Beach of the Dead, and finish off in the popular beach getaway of El Rodadero.
