We are in the small coastal village of Taganga, Colombia now. It is about 10 minutes from Santa Marta and on the northern Caribbean coasts of Colombia. Soo pretty! Most known as a fishing village, there is a lot of fresh seafood everywhere. We had a huge lunch with freshly caught Pargo fish yesterday served to us on the beach for 15,000 pesos- like $7! Food is great. Beaches are great. This is definitely going to be our relaxing week.. My sunburn is slowly tanning but whenever it does, I get sunburned again! The sun here is so hot! I´ve upgraded to 45 spf so hopefully that will do the trick of ensuring a tan w/o all the redness in between.
We are looking into taking the "grueling" Ciudad Perdida trek into the jungles of Colombia to see a lost city- similar to Macchu Pichu- but it was just discovered in the 1970s. The trek is based out of Santa Marta and takes about 6 days round trip to trek the jungles, see the city, and sleep in hammocks along the way. I would love to do it but we´ll see!
If anyone has a good international plan- you can give us a call! Our cell phone is only for Colombia so from now until July 3rd and from July 28- Aug 2. The number is 57 (country code) 311-253-1511.
