Carnival in Colombia

Join me in Barranquilla, Colombia, to experience Carnival, a unique UNESCO Heritage-recognized event of humankind's cultural patrimony, or as I prefer to call it, an incredibly fun party!

Packages for the independent tour (hotels, domestic air flights, and parade tickets) start at $1190 (double occupancy).

If you prefer to go with a group, join me on the 10 day tour that includes the Barranquilla Carnival, as well as nearby Cartagena and cosmopolitan Bogota.

If you have additional time, consider continuing on with me to Peru and Machu Picchu.

Contact me directly for any additional info!

Direct Flight from US to San Andres island in Caribbean to start in June 2010

According to RCN (Colombian news):

Starting June 2010, Spirit Airlines will operate a direct flight from Fort Lauderdale, USA to the island of San Andres (in Colombia).

The announcement was made by Deputy Minister of Tourism, Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, Oscar Rueda Garcia, who said this is an opportunity for the island to capture the U.S. market. According to him, 10 years ago there was no direct flight from that country to San Andres.

The Deputy Minister, together with aviation authorities and the governor of the department, met in Miramar, Florida with the airline's president, Ben Baldanza, to define aspects of the new operation.
