RE: A Colombian Photo Offering - Random Scenes from the Road

in #photography7 years ago

Holy.. Amazing pictures. I would love to see and touch bunny-cow, looks extremely amazing. Just a trip to see this cow in real life would be enough of a reason haha. As for Colombia - it's such a big country, I would definitely need to spend there some more time to explore it all - maybe even about a year and as I believe, that it is not possible financially I will have to divide my staying there to a few periods of few months. Thanks for great report ^^

Haha... That cow! If only she knew what a super-star she is now! Everyone loves the bunny cow :) You know, Colombia is insanely affordable if you're travelling there with USD. We ended up getting a little discount, but for 2 weeks at that Spanish school with room, board, and lessons, it's $350 USD. If you want to rent an entire penthouse apartment in Medellin with 4 bedrooms, you're looking at about $500 / month, and that's in a pretty great neighborhood. One night in a private room in the Eco-lodge at San Rafael was $30, and that was expensive for Colombia. Even the nice hotels in Bogota, one we booked for USD $55 and it was one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in, with a full buffet breakfast and free shuttle to the airport. By contrast, they wanted over $100 USD for a dingy hotel near the airport with virtually no ammenities in Iceland. I'm sure you could live for a month, anywhere in Colombia, for USD $800 with everything you need, no problem. If you wanted to go on the cheap, you could certainly manage on the $400-600 end of the spectrum no problem... possibly cheaper if you're crafty. Anyway... what little I saw of Colombia really exceeded my expectations. I hope you have a chance to visit someday. :) Thanks for your comment! Cheers.
