Contrary to what you might think, with the pacification of the country and the development of tourism, it’s now entirely possible to imagine taking a road trip in Colombia!
We did it in 2018, between Bogota and Santa Marta. And it was a great experience, from which we’ve drawn a full post that will surely help you. We hope to repeat the experience on another itinerary.
Of course, a road trip means renting a car! We’ll give you all the information you need to prepare and understand the specifics of driving a car in Colombia.
We were fed up with paying fees abroad
So for several years now, we’ve been using a free bank debit card specially designed for travelers, and we don’t pay any more fees abroad – no more!
