Taganga is a small fishing village situated a few kilometers outside of Santa Marta. The town offers very little other than scuba lessons, relaxation, and some brutal hikes in the surrounding mountains. I spent 2 nights and days lounging around the hammock laden hostal, La Casa De Felipe (which I recommend to everyone). On my second day, I hiked up the surrounding mountains and got a beautiful view of the bay and sunset. Hiking alone in the mountains of Colombia wasn’t part of my original plan, but I couldn’t resist.
After 15 hours of winding roads, my bus finally pulled into one of the most attractive cities I have seen, Medellin. The City of around 2 million people is spilled into a massive valley, surrounded by mountains speckled with poor communities. Medellin is more famous for being the world´s leading cocaine exporter, home to Pablo Escobar, and producing some of the ugliest paramilitary/guerilla conflicts in Colombia. All of that is history, and I from what I saw, the city should be more famous for its beautiful public art, amazingly clean .
