Colombia Untapped: The City Foreigners DON'T go to

- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- In this adventure, I jump into Colombia's capital. Bogota is a city most foreigners overlook due to its reputation. I will spend my time in the popular district known and Chapinero. Due to the high altitude of the city, I struggled to get around and complete basic tasks. Follow me into yet another urban unknown.
New favourite channel, good commentary, good editing, good vibes my Mann 👍🏾
Welcome family! Big up yourself Matrix Escapist!! ✊🏾
I think a lot of tourists stay away from Bogota because (1) it’s in the mountains. High altitude means it rains a lot and never gets above 75. However to me it resembles NY in many ways. It’s on a grid and a lot of people. I think close to 10 million. The further you go north the nicer it gets. I mean real nice. Some of the nicest malls I’ve seen in my travels. (2) no beach (3) the people have a reputation of being a little cold, much like New Yorkers. Compared to the coast. However, like New York it’s not exactly true.
Spent 3 weeks in Bogota last January, never had one issue, felt safe enough.
Love that!
Great video cuz… I struggle to breathe there too. I thought something was wrong with me, I didn’t know that I was that high up
Family! It is a hell of a feeling... Did you get dizzy also?
As a black man that lived in Bogota for 1 year and a half, I never once had anyone on the street ask me if I wanted a girl, or got approached by a working girl on the street. I would have to say that you gave yourself away with the camera. As for the altitude, I never got use to it even after more than a year. People don’t realize the altitude is 3,500 feet higher than Denver in Bogota.
Sounds like all facts
@@KeenanLambert198 but also I learned from friends in Colombia, that shoes can be a giveaway that you aren’t from there. We have a lot more options and color ways available to us in the U.S. Also certain name brand clothing can give you away.
This is an awesome video Keenan. I was I Bogota yesterday. I had a 26 hour layover. It was my first time there. I could definitely feel the altitude there but I loved the overall experience and plan to return. 👍🏼
Thank you as always for watching! Im guessing you layed over after or before some Brazil or Peru action!? How did you get around?! I found the city a little tough to navigate without a proper metro system! Bless up as always brother
Hey Man, I spent a day there on a layover going to Toronto. I was returning from Cartagena. Another excellent city in South America. I plan to go to Lima in February. I love your videos. I have been watching them since shortly after you started putting them out. Cheers, and keep them coming. 🤘🏼
Very cool vibe. Man I enjoy all of your work! Thanks
Brother Ron! Thank you for watching as always! I have some different stuff coming soon!
Great vid man. Ill be there in January
Thank you Will! Be safe my brother… Bogota has Mex City vibes for me
Bro. Keenan ,great video.
Thanks so much brother Wardale!
Keeeenaaannnnn 🎉
Cha!!!!!! What up! Bless up Fam!
Very informative, Brodie!! It looks safe and fun !! Great review !!
Bless up my G!!! Thanks for watching this one!!! I’m going to pull up to your channel just now!
Nice content sir,,,do you had idea how much is the cheapest hostel or motel in medellin,plan to go vacation there
Hi Gil! Thank you my brother and Yes! You can get a very small room - with shower, wifi and TV at Zona Express in the San Diego area of Medellin for about 10 bucks a day... They take reservations via WhatsApp.
You can also get some for $10 USD in the El Centro area.....
Let me give you a pro tip that will save you about $40 USD...
Do NOT take a taxi to Medellin when you land at (MDE) which is actually in Rio Negro..... Take the small buses.... As soon as you get outside the terminal you will see them.... They have one that goes to El Centro and one to San Diego...... its 13MIL pesos - so that's about $2.60 USD.
Another great video brother, when will you start doing vids full time?
Thank you my brother! Blessings!!!! I don’t think I will ever give up my 9 to 5 gig due to how volatile the RUclips market can be with revenue! One month 3K the next $800.. It’s sooo up and down
Love this channel! Sorry to hear about the altitude sickness; terrible 😞! Did you get a chance to see any of the architecture (or daytime culture)?
My Chicago sister! Thank you for the kind comments and you watching as always! I did get a chance to see the city and the architecture during the daytime…. It was beautiful…. The open public spaces and boulevards are amazing! A lot of Venezuelans milling about though without prospects… 🥲
I love his content, very educated black brother, very informative ALWAYS.
✊🏾✊🏾 blessings to the yaad mon! Big ups family!
Always love your videos bro take care brother TJK
Thanks JK! One love fam!
Loved the video 🥰
Thanks bae!!!
Was just there a month ago and had a good time. Did you feel safe?
YES! 100% safe my brother.... I got attention but it wasn't as crazy as the Poblado heat... I was stressed in Poblado! hahaha
Amazing content Fam!! Any serious tips for learning Spanish??
Absolutely, befriend some people who don't speak English...
Spanish speaking partner-girlfriend-boyfriend etc....
Or watch Spanish speaking content on Netflix.... La Esclava Blanca is a good one to start with...
Thank you
@@bayside_rayyy One love family
Great video! What camera do you use?
Thank you Ooman…. I’m using the 1st Generation DJI Action Cam with a Gimbal…… I’m using Movavi Editor also
One love bro! Me and my king watch you from Texas….yaadie fans here.
You should put links to all your gear in the description as well.
BTW did you have to use extra external light with the set up?
@@oomanlife7220 🇯🇲🇯🇲 family forever!!!
I’ve been thinking about doing affiliate links to help some growing creators that might want some direction in starting…. You’ve just given me extra motivation! Thanks!
I have a ring light and studio lighting but I rarely use any of it due to the speed at which I move and the desire not to call too much attention to myself when filming….
I use a setting called HDR on the camera in low light situations…. It turns off the internal stabilization so I add stabilization plus additional “Brightness” or “Magic Enhance” when in the editor…. sometimes if I need a little more lighting I will use the light on my cell or portable battery.
Great video

Big ups my friend! This one was a lot of fun to shoot - outside of the oxygen issues lol.
😂”Accidentally step in dog 🐕 💩”😂
I sat in the grass under a tree and fell asleep next to that beautiful little canal and woke up to see that I was only a few inches/centimeters from sitting in dog mess lol!!!!!! The lord sent me a warning lol
She said that she can give you a good massage. 😂
I got that part.... But it was 1 O'clock... She was going for that HAPPY HAPPY lol
@@KeenanLambert198
That post was deleted due to an error on my part. I know where she was going with the conversation. Were you in the La Zona Rosa (the pink zone)?
@@Delitewon Yes exactly in Chapinero…. I stayed just down the street 7-8min walk
@@KeenanLambert198
Then everything is obvious. I saw a glimpse of her after you walked off. I have been watching videos on Colombia for about ten years now. I prefer to watch Medellin videos. Places like Laureles and Enviado. Las paisas there are more appealing to me than the Indigenous type that are predominant in Bogota.
I had subscribed a few years ago with a guy who ended his video with the same phrase you use…”deuces.” I am sure you know of him.
Your personality is infectious and people would naturally gravitate to you. Peace! 💪🏽
Are there any issues visiting Bogota or Medellin without being able to speak Español?
No.... You would be fine... They will work with you in both cities....
Thanks
Did you experience any safety issues? I want to go to Colombia but hearing so much about how unsafe it is has me worried.
@@wick2640 In Bogota no, but in Medellin I felt on guard... San Andres was a vibe.... Pure fun.... Cartagena is scam city....
@@KeenanLambert198 thank you! Enjoy ur videos
Hey Keenan was the altitude an issue in medellin?
Medellin was okay for me.... I guess its a little lower
@KeenanLambert198 thanks bro the response. Going in august for the first time ever.
@@anthonythevettedude8270 my brother… Have the utmost fun and be safe!
ayo I'm legit traveling there next month lol
Bogota is a vibe!! Be prepared for the altitude nonsense
What are some of the cultural or behavioral norms you learned? That gave away that you were a foreigner.
That I was by myself and black lol… Bogota has Afro people but not many…. The camera is also a give away, although I feel like I concealed it pretty well since my clothing was black…
@@KeenanLambert198 I appreciate the content. Thank you
@@nobelwarprize thank you as always for watching!
Drinking was depressing looking (In deep voice)
🤣🤣 (In a deep voice)
2:49 LOL WOW LOL
🤣😭🤣😭
Soooo, how much did you have to pay?
For what?
@@KeenanLambert198 the ladies.....I was trying to make a joke.
@@e.s.bryant765 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shoutout to Africa ✊🏾✊🏾
I had to slide that one in there 🥳
You think she liked the chest hair? Why you say that? Did she touch your chest?👀
Lol I was making a joke
@@KeenanLambert198 I like that joke

Talk about how much traffic there is with no metro
The traffic is horrid! The rapid bus system has dedicated right of ways so they are fine, but peak time traffic turns a 20 min drive into 45-50 mins.
