Considering Colombia for 2 weeks in August
07-17-2010, 02:54 PM
I'd be doing Medellin for 1 week, then I'd like one other city, perhaps on the coast. I would like a place with a nice beach. I hear Cartegena is cool, but the beaches suck. I've also ruled out Bogata for now and probably Cali.
Couple questions:
1) Is one week per city way too little?
2) Is it dangerous to take intercity buses in Colombia?
3) Spirit Airlines seems to offer the cheapest fares to Colombia, but I've heard shitty things too, anyone have experience flying them?
I know 2 weeks isn't much but this would be a "starter" trip to Colombia for me.
ps - Also considering a week in Rio and a week in Sao Paulo as an alternative.

1: yes, but if there is no alternative, I think it is better to check out the coast as well.
2: no
3: no idea.
I am not too thrilled about either Cartagena or Santa Marta (the latter is a dump! And a very hot and humid one)
Not much info on Barranquilla anywhere though - but maybe you ought to check it out?

I want to check out Barranquilla, I hear good things...
Medellin should be good for a week and since you keep talking about Mulatto girls, I think Cali might be worth the check out as well. I saw one of the hottest chicks (happened to be mulatto) dating one of the guys from my hostel.

One day when we all become independently wealthy we can have a yearly forum meetup in some exotic locale.

Wherever you go, hook up with locals. Locals in SA can show you a good time in any shitty place.
