Post summary

3 week tour in Colombia – My itinerary

On this 3 week itinerary in Colombia, I was able to fit almost any place that interested me. But I had to eliminate the part “Amazon rainforest” because too complicated to organize logistically and especially because some places still seem very risky and dangerous … So, I preferred to stalemate on this part of Colombia to be able to enjoy more long of other regions and cities that I really want to discover.
