Spirit Air website problems

Soearlier today I looked for and found Cartagena to NYC available on their webite. I was searching for early Sept. Now when I look for this flight it tells me not available.

Por fin! A real ceviche in Colombia!

OK, now I´m sure there are some good ceviche places in the big cities but this tomato ketchup, mayo thing everywhere else just doesn´t work for me. So, when I found this new place in Taganga that has a real peruvian ceviche. Ah, yeah!!! The owner Jesse used to work at Gaton and Astrid, the famous Peruvian place, in Bogota. He recently opened his local, Madame Tagange just down the hill from the La Casa De Felipe. At 12 mil for a ceviche this baby is sure to please. He also has other gr ...

European Championships, where can we catch the matches?

Seeking info on areas to the east of Tayrona

So I´ve heard good things about the area up the coast. Casagrande is an option for a visit. I´ve also heard of Mehndicuaca and a place called Cinta. Most of the directions I´ve seen have been kinda tough to follow. Anyone know these spots or know of where I may be able to read up a bit more? Many thanks. ...

Tayrona still over run with Israelis?

I was there in 2003 and it was great. Then a friend of mine was in Taganga and Tayrona about a year ago and said it was intolerable due to the number of Israelis. Anyone know the current situation? For those that are gonna get all bent out of shape all I am saying is I`m not going to Colombia to hang out with Israelis. If I wanted to do that I would go to Israel. ...

How is the pradomar beach area near barranquilla from the 15 of Dec. through the new year?

How is this area leading up to x-mas and for the holidays? Is it dead on x-mas or is it jammed? Please any and all advice cause I gotta buy my ticket real soon.

Another option is Parque Tayrona. I spent x-ma ...

Planning for 3+ months travel in Colombia- looking to surf and dance salsa/vallenato

This will be mysecond trip to Colombia and I am totaly excited. I am planning on visiting Cartagena, Barranquilla and parque Tayrona but not neccessarily in that order. I would like to find a nice spot to surf and also with some nightlife. When I was in Santa Marta in 2003 just before X-mas it was dead. Will this be true for the Pradomar beach area 15 minutes outside of Barranquilla? This sounds ideal for me. Several waves in the area to choose from and beach bars with music and people par ...
