Chicamocha Canyon For The Independent, Adventurous Traveller

Working for something makes the reward all the sweeter. I have always believed this to be true, but I think it applies especially when hiking and travelling. One of the must-sees in the Santander region of Colombia, is the Chicamocha Canyon. You have two options for viewing this natural wonder: Take a day trip to the lookout on the highway, or work hard for your oh-so-sweet rewards, and hike there. The journey from Cabrera to Los Santos via the canyon involves three days of wandering through the back country of Colombia. The climb up the hill through the jungle will take you to Barichara, a charming and quaint colonial village. The loooong, dry hike through farmland and villages that make you feel like you’ve gone back in time 100 years will lead you to the edge of the canyon where you will gasp at the grandeur before you, and the stumble down the canyon-side with sore knees and a parched mouth will take you to an honest-to-goodness ghost town; crumbling swing bridge and all.

This city is not as developed as Bogota, neither is it as refined as Medellin. However, Cali - Colombia’s third largest city by population - has more to offer than what meets the eye. Located in southwest Colombia, this capital of the Valle de Cauca department has been through ups and downs since it was founded in 1536 by Sebastián de Belalcázar. Beyond its slave history during the colonial period and drug-related violence from the 1980s to early 21st century, Cali has transformed into a diverse and modern city with lingering traces of her past. The somewhat rugged facet of Cali is one of her appeals.
