Thanks!Popayan Colombia was just supposed to be a stopover, a way to break up the long journey from Cali to Pasto. It wasn’t a place I expected to love as much as I did. Indeed, …
Cali, Colombia is famous throughout the country, if not the world, as a hot spot for salsa music and dancing. One of the first things you’ll notice upon arrival though is that Santiago de Cali (the full name, but everyone calls it Cali) is just plain hot, but if you can brave the heat here, you’ll find that there are …
We spent the better part of a year driving across the American West, Mexico, and Central America, but due to financial constraints, we needed to stop and take a break before continuing on through South America.

I’ve visited lots of little towns all across Colombia, but Salento stands out as one of the best — quaint and beautiful, friendly and fun. You could easily spend a few days or even a …
I’m big on road trips and traveling, so after a few extensive, long-term road trips across the United States, the next most logical idea was driving the Pan American Highway, or at least a pretty good chunk of it, as it stretches the length of North and South America, passing through some of the most incredible scenery on earth.
