Hosted by

TranslateMachine Translated
Colombia - land of natural contrasts and a fabulous history. We travel from Bogota through the coffee highlands to the Caribbean coast. There we plan a two to three day hike in the Tayrona National Park, which is the highest coastal mountain range in the world. From there we will continue to the highlight of our trip - a sailing trip - through the Caribbean Sea to Panama City.

Accommodation will be hostels, individual AirBnBs and even a cabin on the sailboat. We will also spend the one or other night in a night bus and during the hike in a tent. The accommodations will give us the necessary rest for the next exciting day and are a mix of simple sleeping arrangements and very special apartments.
