It all started with ideas about re-visiting South America as we did in 1967 when we traveled from South Africa through South America to the United States.
A Rough itinerary was developed by Helmut December 2008:
| 1. | Arrive in Bogota. Stay a couple days to look city over. Can do more upon return after trip's conclusion.
|
2. | Head South to Popayan, Purace National Park, San Augustin, boat rafting, etc.) |
| 3. | Further South, Pasto and its surroundings (including Volcan Azufral, most picturesque lake in Colombia: Laguna de la cocha, West of Pasto: Tomaco (on Pacific)
|
| 4. | Fly round trip from Pasto to Leticia/Amazon. (visit various tribes by boat, etc.) |
| 5. | Upon return to Pasto, head North, to Cali. Spend a couple days visiting Rocio’s relatives. My cousin Politico will show us around, I am sure).
|
| 6. | Head further North to Manizales, glaciers, thermo springs) |
| 7. | Next Northern stop Medellin, explore finca Villa Maria.
|
| 8. | Next Caribbean, through Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Santa Marta. Stay a few days around Taganga, a fisher village north of Santa Marta at the Caribbean).
|
| 9. | Finally, heading South toward Bogota: Stops at Bucaramanga (huge paragliding area - not that I want to try, or perhaps yes??), San Gil (nearby Barichara is regarded as the most beautiful colonial town in Colombia). |
10. | Of course this is a very loose itinerary: We can improvise as we go along…I am sure Ari can provide some more suggestions.
