    I can't believe I never thought of noise canceling headphones for visiting places where I am seeking peace. Much better idea than my usual method of building up resentments in my head about all the obnoxious tourists. Thanks for the tip!

    Hi Dan
    I love Bogota.
    I love Colombia. I've been there 3 times and I'm returning in August to revisit my favorite cities-- Bogota, Medellin and Popayan.
    Whether or not uber is legal or not in Colombia depends on the time of day. It may be legal when you wake up, illegal in the afternoon and legal again at night. I don't think they'll ever make up their minds.
    I've met Venezuelans living in Colombia. Since they were once the same country they're really the same people. But, unfortunately, there is some prejudice against them. Thankfully not from everyone.

    • @HoustonGuy
      @HoustonGuy 2 года назад +2

      The prejudice against Venezuelans comes from the 1980/90s when Colombians went to Venezuela to escape Pablo Escobar's terror and Venezuelans treated Colombians like crap! KHARMA? Yes, Colombians and Venezuelans are "family" yet you will find those that still have some hostility against the other...simple ignorance because they are both the same.

      Los venezolanos son total mente distintos a los colombianos.
      Son unos inadaptados sociales.
      No por nada en toda hispanoamericana son rechazados .
      Es una sociedad que no se logra adaptar a nuevas costumbres son muy conservadores y critican pero en forma de descalificar .

I did felt nervous for you walking alone in some streets wish you the best in your journey. I recommend for you to visit Boyacá province and Choco such diferent places but both incredible and unique

    I think traveling with noise cancelling headphones is super dangerous. Much of the world is quite safe, but big headphones make you an obvious oblivious target to pickpocket or whatever.

    • @TheNewTravel
      @TheNewTravel  2 года назад +10

      You raise an interesting point. You might be right that some people could make themselves targets with headphones. It's important to remember safety at all times. That said, I feel like I can get a good read on an area / a situation and tell if it's a high risk for pickpockets. I would never, ever do this in certain parts of Colombia which have more notorious reputations. But at a tourist look out inside of a security check on top of a mountain? Nothing to worry about :)

No need for Uber. Be sure to get your cabby's name and number so you can call him. They appreciate repeat customers, plus you get to know a local a little better. ¡Saludos!

I went to leticia while there then over to cusco. Cusco is also beautiful but I really like bogota. I live in South Carolina now. Used to live 35 miles south of Montreal Canada in NY on border. Pizza was great in bogota. Terrible in Cusco. Lol. I went to the monestrry on the hill. It was peaceful and nice view.

I read several comments and I agree with others that you are not just showing us travel you are teaching life lessons. I've met many Venezuelans this year and I was touched your comments about them and their situation and highlighting how a county like Colombia with it's own challenges has been so welcoming. Thank you for what you are doing!

    My wife is from Bogotá and I've been there nine times so far. La Plaza Bolivar ( yes, that is the correct name) is among my favorite places in the city. I do have one comment about the refugees coming in from Venezuela. Back in the eighties and nineties when the drug cartels ran rampant and there was a lot of violence, many Colombians fled to Venezuela, which was considered to be a very prosperous country at the time. Now the tables have turned, and most Colombians view accepting the people from Venezuela as returning the favor, as the Venezuelans once did the same for Colombia.

  • @Kvothe123
    @Kvothe123 2 года назад

    Hi, i'm from colombia. When you asked to the Mme about food she said: "almojabana y arepa de maiz con queso". So, the first it's a food made of cheese mixed with wheat flour and the second one it's made of corn flour and cheese, but in this case the last is more explicit. Both are delicious. I really hope you had a great time.

    Bogotá is a really nice city but I wouldn't recommend being sporadic in latin america. You can do that in Europe or other countries but here there are a lot of sketchy neighborhoods and people and you can get into a really bad situation easily. Better to plan a thing or two. Also because Bogotá is so damm big, there's a lot to see and explore. You only were in the city center but there's also Chapinero, the english houses in La Merced and zona G, the upper class shops in Zona Rosa, the UNAL (biggest public university, you only showed Los Andes), Virgilio Barco Library, Avenida Chile, Parque de la 93, etc...
