This was perhaps the most personal and touching presentation I’ve ever heard at a museum. Shenandoah is a young American woman who married a local school teacher. They turned part of his family home into a memorial museum. It’s also the site where some of the bloodiest conflicts between guerrilla groups and paramilitary armies took place in the very recent past. Shenandoah’s presentation of those bloody conflicts sets out a very nice overview that helps one understand both the modern history of this country and the present economic and tourist dynamic of this fascinating place. Donations accepted and you will come away from the a much deeper appreciation for where you are.

El Dorado Bird Reserve

Reviewed By 601nickh - Tring, United Kingdom

This wonderful bird reserve set up by Pro Aves high in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta was a highlight of our trip to Colombia. The drive up isamazing and our 4X4 driver was fantastic. The jungle changes as you drive up with different plants and trips - and the most amazing guides. The manager Brena was very welcoming and hospital, nothing was too much trouble and his English was excellent. The Kogihabs were modern, clean and wonderfully situated with views to the Caribbean and over the fabulous mountains. Hot water on tap -amazing considering how isolated it is. The 15 minute walk to bed via a hanging bridge and a jungle path was great. An early morning drive (complete with a warm breakfast) to view the sunrise over the snowy peaks was a great memory maker. We also had the services of a brilliant guide, Annul, who taught us so much about Colombian birds in a day and found fabulous species endemic to the area. The food is generous and prepared with the warm heart of hospitality. Highly recommended.

Museo del Cacao de Minca

Reviewed By Mares_Aris

While in Minca, do yourself a favour and visit this tiny museum / bar / restaurant and ask for a little tour from Mr. Cacao. This passionate owner will tell you everything this beautiful area has to offer and share some great stories while you enjoy a local beer or a delicious piece of chocolate. They have good breakfast too! Oh and don't forget to try The HUGE focaccia, it is exactly what you need after a long hike.
