After showing your the area in and around Cali in the previous episode it is now time for another tourist hotspot. In this last episode from Colombia my buddy Stefan and I are going to take you with us as we explore the most beautiful beaches in Colombia at the Tayrona National Park, do another tubing session in Palomino and hike through the green mountains around Minca where we check out waterfalls and learn more about Colombian coffee.
Starting in Santa Marta we explore the whole area - despite the fact that there are not so many things to do in Santa Marta itself there are numerous picturesque destinations all around, therefore we used the city as our transportation hub between the beaches in the east and the mountain village of Mince
In the next episode I show you how to prepare your own trip to Colombia by sharing my best Colombia travel tips followed by a packing list video.

— About Exploring Colombia —
Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.
For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

Why Colombia as the next Travel Destination
sktarts team travels to colombia - movements recorded in Gopro Dji Drone and Nikon D7200
Sktarts founded in December 2017 are professional at photography and video creation. Colombia was our first big project, we travellet 6 colleagues through the country for weeks and recorded everything with Gopro, Dji Drone and Nikon D7200 and that's what came out of it.
We landed in Medellin and experienced 3 wonderful days in Medellin with ATO Tours.
Medellín is a beautiful city, modern and yet true to its regional characteristics. It was founded in 1616 in the scenic Aburrá valley but remained small until the coffee boom. It later became the center of a textile industry, and today is a modern, vibrant city.
After we followed Cartagena and stayed there for 5 days.
Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia's Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that's entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture. It's also one of the safest places in the country, so it's no wonder it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. Need a break from exploring the cobblestone streets? Stop at an outdoor cafe for excellent pastries and people-watching.
After Cartagena we were in the beautiful hostel Casa el en Agua in the middle of the sea.
Discovering unique places can change your trip.. Profoundly. We believe the Casa is such a place. We’re talking a solar-powered, eco-friendly backpackers hostel run by our cheerful, local crew. The hostel sits among the San Bernardo Islands, just two hours by boat from Cartagena. The Casa - a former holiday home owned by a Colombian family - is a 23-year old wooden house built on a concrete foundation under the sea water. Over time, coral formed on the foundations, much to our delight, as colorful sea life can now be viewed whilst you’re chilling in your hammock.
As you will be vacay-ing on a secluded, private island, you and your fellow travelers, determine the hostel vibe. It is you and your temporary family who decide whether to detox, unleash your inner yogi and enjoy the serene environment, or crank up the volume and get the drinks flowing. Whatever your choice may be, we dare to say we offer the best hangover cure in South America: a bed-to-ocean dive from the first floor deck into clear Caribbean waters. If that doesn’t cure things, your other option is to find yourself a hammock & enjoy a refreshing cocktail from our ‘Bar en el Agua’.
Then we went on to San Andres beautiful little island in the Caribbean. Most of the videos were spontaneously created, we had at the end over 3h film material and that's what came out.The coral island of San Andres is a diverse ecosystem of reefs, geysers, groves, and cays. Needless to say, it’s perfect for diving, snorkeling, and outdoor exploring. This paradise has multicoloured warm waters and 12 mangrove forests, and the beach cedars of Johnny Cay are like natural condos for beach birds. Keep an eye out for overlooked pirate treasure at Morgan’s Cave before chowing down on rondón, a signature Caribbean dish of fish, pork, conch, plantain and coconut milk.
Colombia is a very beautiful country and very diverse, Jungle, mountains, beautiful beaches, big cities like Medellin and Bogota. Fantastic and recommendable.

ASTONISHING Minca in the mountains of Colombia
Leaving the stress in the city for a more quiet place in the mountains outside of Santa Marta, Colombia. This place has tons of great views and the hostel is such a nice place for relaxing and connecting with nature again!
Minca - Colombia coffee plantations and waterfalls
Minca is a small village in the mountain of the Sierra Nevada of Colombia.
The village is so pretty that it is a must visit if you are in the area. Many consider Minca colony of alternative thinkers, those that want to escape from city life and artists. Minca is the perfect place to find peace, happiness and tranquility.
Although Minca is close to the Caribbean coastline, due to its lush mountain location, the vegetation is completely different.
An abundance of vibrant and dense green plant life can be seen in Minca. The area's fertility made it one of Colombia's first regions to exploit coffee cultivation.
Despite this region's proximity to popular tourism destinations such as Santa Marta and Tayrona, we can say Minca really is at the cutting edge of modern Colombian tourism. It is an area you genuinely should not have considered visiting just 10 years ago.

BUDGET BACKPACKER GUIDE TO COLOMBIA COAST - TAYRONA NATIONAL NATURAL PARK
Welcome to Tayrona National Park!
#ParqueTayrona
I hope this video helps provide some insight and advice if you're interested in visiting Tayrona National Park.
As a review, here are some instructions and tips for Tayrona:
HOW TO GET THERE - Near the corner of Calle 11 and Carrera 9, you will see the bus. Just know that this bus will go all the way to Palomino, so the stop for Tayrona is about 45 mins away from Santa Marta. Cost = 7,000 COP ($2.30 USD)
AT THE ENTRANCE - The cost of entry is 52,000 COP ($17 USD) per person and you can only pay in cash AND you need to show your passport (or a copy of it).
WHERE TO GO - We stayed at Cabo San Juan. There are also more places to stay like Playa Cañaverales and Playa Arrecifes... since we didn't stay there, I don't know much info about the other places. We walked past them on our way in and out, and they seemed much quieter.
THINGS TO BRING
- CASH bc they don't accept credit cards
- Bug repellent
- Your own water and food
- Adventure hat
