Hi Dave,

I actually traveled around Colombia for a few weeks a few years ago and first off, GREAT plan on the Cartagena decision! One of my favorite places to date. I’ve not been to Cali but I hear it’s the salsa dancing capital of the world which sounds interesting. If you go farther south do highly recommend a visit to San Agustin Archeological Park for a good way to learn about the history and see some pretty impressing sculptures and religious structures. You can visit there if you stay in Popayan which is what we did. Bogota, a little ways north of that and also the capital, is also pretty unique! That felt more like what I had expected to see in Colombia (like what you see in pictures). A lot of of color and good vibes! Hope that helps!
