If you love landscapes, you would probably prefer Providencia to San Andres. San Andres is pretty built up with your typical Caribbean resort hotels on the beaches. Providencia is a short flight from San Andres and is pretty and far less developed.

Parque Nacional Tayrona, which is about a day's travel from Cartagena is really beautiful too. Its not far from Santa Marta, which in turn is the jumping off point for excursions to Ciudad Perdita. Its a bit of a hike...not to bad in the dry season but slippery and strenuous in the wet season.

You should also consider flying to Armenia, and hike/horse around the Eje Cafetera and Valle de Cocora. Valle de Cocora is spectacular and the palmas de cera, which look like they could have been drawn by Dr. Seuss, lend an ethereal feel in that mist swathed valley.

The regulars here can tell you about the party scenes in the various urban Zonas Rosas. Cali used to be notorious for its clear dawn closing hours but now the local government has imposed a 2:00 a.m. closing time, strangely called Hora Zanahoria. Do what the locals do and go to Juanchito (across the Rio Cauca from Cali).

Mr Babillas Cartagena - great club. Babar was good - but may be closed now. Great setting for food Palos de Moguer outide the old city and Cafe del Mar incide the walled city. The new (ish) hard rock is a nice place as well.

Awsome club in Baranquila is called 7 if you make it that way. Awsome beaches are in p Tayrona, departing from Santa Marta. Lost city trek has some pretty speccy scenery.

If your in Santaq Marta during a busy period or on a weekend, Escolleras (spelling) in Rodadero is a wicked club.

Trisha, have you got family in Colombia, and where?

elmo, when are you coming down next? The difference is, you didn't announce it ahead of time. You just wrote us a msg on PBH one day from an internet cafe in the walled city of Cartagena. Oh and you're not a hot chick either. But I'll still drink with you. :o)

que nota!

Olivdate de Cartagena al menos de que te interese mucho la ciudad Antigua o la rumba desquiciada. Si lo que quieres es plan de playa y mar, te recomiendo mejor San Andres. A mi me gusta el Sol Caribe Campo en San Andres. Es un poquito afuera del centro pero si te gustan las vistas, pues ahi las tienes de sobra.

Aqui ahi unas cuantas fotos tomadas en el Sol Caribe Campo y otras partes de San Andres.

Te hago otra recomendación. Si vas a comprar boletos para vuelos adentro de Colombia, ojo que Avianca te cobra mas si los pagas en dolares desde EEUU. Mejor seria comprar un paquete con Aviatur(www.aviatur.com.co) o sino esperar a comprarlos en Colombia. Te saldra mucho mas barato asi.

Que las pases bien. Te vas a preguntar porque esperaste tanto tiempo en volver.

Nosotros hemos usado Aviatur muchas veces. Ellos venden paquetes de viaje con boleto aéreo y hotel de Avianca y Aerorepublica. Generalmente sale mas barato así.

Hace un par de meses, les compramos un paquete para Cartagena y el año pasado para San Andres. En los dos casos incluian el boleto, los traslados del aeropuerto y el hospedaje en el hotel. Estos paquetes eran de los "Todo Incluido", pero tambien los venden normales.

Te recomiendo que les heches un a llamada. Ellos pueden tomar tu pago con tarjeta de credito desde los EEUU.

Que disfrutes.
