Just want to second this. My wife is Colombian and I lived in Bogotá for a year and go regularly. I've travelled quite a bit of the country by bus -- absolutely recommend doing this! One reason is the variety of landscapes you can see in a single journey.
I agree that crossing the mountains between Bogotá and Pereira is an incredible route. Very long, but if you go and have the time, it's in itself part of the holiday!
- subpixel 4y agoMy wife is also Colombian and we spend a lot of time there. I tell nobody about the town her family is from or the surrounding area. It is breathtakingly beautiful, ecologically fragile, and my lived experience around the world is that there is no form of tourism that does not destroy what it touches. I don't pretend to be able hold the forces at bay that will eventually pave paradise. But I do what I can not to embolden them.
- davnicwil 4y agoOh wow, I can certainly understand this! My wife's a Rola though so my approach is somewhat different - promoting Bogotá to anyone who'll listen at any opportunity! If you'd be kind enough to satisfy my curiosity about the wonderful sounding place your wife's from, though, my email is in my profile :-) Perhaps I'll (very respectfully) visit there some time!
