why do they have to say "colombia, the devil's breath" is NOT ALL COLOMBIA!!!!
how about calling this docu/film "bogota, the devils..... or "medellin, the devils...
or "cali, the devils...." why do they have to lump us all together?

It is only La Arenosa. :-)


Amarillistas, that is all.

I couldn't wait to get as far away from Colombia and that drug as possible. Apologies for a fleeting moment of sincerity, but looking back, I'm pretty proud of the work we did down there. This story, and the people who tell it, truly deserve to be heard.

My buddies never had any idea from Bogotá. Being from Puerto Rican and Dominican parents they only heard from Barranquilla cus of the many merengue and salsa songs that mention carnaval de Barranquilla.
They got curious when the Avianca early morning flights would arrive from Colombia, one after another and flight right overhead as we fished for stripers next to JFK airport.
Hey, where is that plane coming from? Bogota! And that one? Medellin
And that one? Cali.
Any from your city of Barranquilla? Nope!
Why?
Though we founded Avianca we get no direct flights from my city. It would be a waste of money due to the very few barranquilleros living outside Curramba
All those planes are filled with bogotanos, medillanos y calinenos, escaping Colombia, but no barranquilleros.

American And Avianca have direct flights out of MIA.....Elmo..Remember...Watch out in Bogota they may convert your ass Elmo...all it takes two hours to convert to a Rolo..

Maybe you should skip Bogota and fly to MIA and then go direct..to Barranquilla or maybe fly via Panama via Copa to Barranquilla..Don't fly to Medellin there is a one hour conversion to a Paisa..

Take Care Elmo watch out maybe hide out in the bathroom in Bogota airport..

I think the direct flight to BAQ from JFK is coming back sometime in June, probably with one of those nice new Airbus planes Avianca is ordering this year. I read somewhere the reasons they stopped the flights was they needed to retire some of the older MD-80 jets (as the new orders come in) plus fuel costs on these older models was getting too high.

Hang in there buddy. Those direct flights will be back. :-))

So i read this post on PBH dated from 2005 and pollo, gator and tomtom31 were on there. It's cool that people stick around on this site. Anyhow there was a simalar post where a guy had a nine hour flight delay. It was funny that someone mention "Two words, La Piscina". I must have been 20 when i first went there and i remember that it was the night before my flight as my now past away grandfather's brother has family there. Very specific right. Anyways. I shared two bottles of Aguardiente with my cousin and the next day they almost didn't let me on the plane. I will remember that forever. Hey elmofoque, i have one word for you. Relax.

Hola!

I stayed overnight at the Bogota airport my first time in Colombia before flying to Cartagena. It got a bit boring, but it was safe. The National Police are there all night long and many places are open for food also. You do get bothered by a guy wanting you to meet women at a hotel near the airport. I was fine even with almost ZERO Spanish!

dude, don't you remember about the f'ing maletas?

on the way in, they are filled with everything, including the kitchen sink, for the colombiana's family back home. you can find stuff here dumped on the street that sells for 200K pesos in any ferreteria back home.

and on the way back, all 15 maletas are filled with HER crap bought in colombia since there are no decent clothes and stuff to be found stateside.

i might add, if you see a pasty ash gringo accompianing said colombiana, he has 5 extra maletas too, but only 1 pair of drawers and 2 socks are his. the rest is HER stuff too.

she will probably also bring back about 50 pounds of bowls of that caramel with raisins stuff that only a colombian can eat without a gun to their head. this, even though this slow poison is sold in very corner bodega from south florida to boston. got to bring back the real deal.
