PRICES The prices have been broken down into three categories for both accommodations and restaurants. All prices used in this book are in Colombian pesos (COP). Accommodations Budget = Under 30,000 COP per night Mid-Range = Between 30,001 COP and 80,000 COP per night Expensive = More than 80,001 COP per night Restaurants Budget = Under 15,000 COP for a meal and a drink Mid-Range = Between 15,001 COP and 25,000 COP for a meal/drink Expensive = Over 25,001 COP for a meal and drink 18 GENERAL INFORMATION CLIMATE There are climate charts in Celsius and Fahrenheit throughout the book for larger cities that have airport weather reporting systems. The weather in Colombia varies according to each region. Although Bogotá is almost always cold and rainy, the sun does show itself, especially from mid-December through January. It's recommended to pack a rain coat, sweatshirt and other mountain weather clothing. People respond to weather differently. If you don't react well to cold weather, its best to bring gloves and a warm hat. The North Coast's climate is extremely hot. It's recommended to pack clothing that you can breathe in. It rains on the coast all year, but especially in September and October. August and November also see frequent rainfall. The rain will come and go, but the rainy season can have an effect on people's vacation times. If you're looking for a pure beach experience, it's best to plan your time on the coast in a careful manner. Medellín and Bucaramanga have the most pleasant climates. Medellín has even earned the nickname "the City of Eternal Spring". If you're looking for prototypical perfect weather these two locations are recommended. The Coffee Region is pleasant, but it has mountain-like weather conditions. Its best to come prepared when visiting these areas. Cali has hot weather, but not as hot as the coast. GENERAL INFORMATION 19 CLOTHES Packing for Colombia is not an easy task. With the drastically different climates a person must choose their clothing choices wisely. It's highly recommended that you bring the following items for your stay. All of Colombia Raincoat and pants A pair of pants Long sleeve shirt with collar (men) Broken in hiking boots or reliable shoes to walk in For men with large feet, an extra pair of shoes, as they can be hard to find For Bogotá (depending on your cold tolerance) Hat Gloves Heavy sweatshirt or sweater For the North Coast Bathing suit Sandals or flip-flops Light weather clothing For Nights on the Town When you go out you will want to look nice. Colombians are excellent dressers and fashion is important. For men a collared shirt and pants are essential. Most places you can wear jeans, but if you're going to a club, a nice outfit from head to toe is recommended. Women can adhere to their own style, but making an effort is essential. You should expect more attention from people based on the fact that you're a foreigner. Like most places in the world the way you dress has a huge impact on your first impression. 20 GENERAL INFORMATION Buying Clothing You can find all the clothing that you forgot to bring with you anywhere in Colombia. Some items may be more expensive, but if you take your time you can find what you need at reasonable prices. Laundry It's also best to remember the length of your trip and your laundry requirements. Most hostels or hotels have a service to do laundry. It can be costly in certain parts of the country. You must think of your clothes situation deeply as having the proper clean clothing takes effort and planning. FOOD Eating in Colombia is an experience in itself. On the coast, fish-based meals are common and easy to find. Colombian meals are large and usually include soup, a meat dish, and a few sides. They are usually more on the un-healthy side. Vegetarian restaurants can be found, but they are not common. If you take the time, you can find acceptable meals by dining in restaurants, on the street and purchasing food from grocery stores. Restaurants Different types of food can be found all over Colombia. International menus are common alongside Colombian food. Chicken, meat and fish are the core items on the menu. Streets Cheap meals can be found on all Colombian streets. Fast food such as hotdogs, hamburgers, pizza and other common junk food are available in all cities. Colombian hand-held snacks such as arepas and empanadas can be found all over the country. It's HIGHLY recommended NOT to eat from street vendors unless you've been traveling in Latin America for an extended period of time. Your body needs to adjust and eating vendor food is the fastest way to ruin your GENERAL INFORMATION 21 vacation. Even seasoned travelers get sick when eating off the street. Please be careful. Grocery Stores There are major chains of grocery stores in big and mid-sized cities. You can find a great variety of products that allows you to cook at your hostel and put together meals with different items. Many backpackers in Colombia save money by cooking their favorite meals in their hostel. Fruit Colombia is a fruit lovers paradise. Smoothies and fruit drinks are very popular. You can find fruits in restaurants, stores and in the street. Vegetables Vegetables can be found all over Colombia, but not with the same variety as fruit. It's hard to find a good salad, but it is possible. Vegetable lovers need to make an effort to get their daily intake, but it's not an impossible task. One should be careful about how well-washed the vegetables are before ordering salad - cooked vegetables are more reliable. EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES Embassies are located in Bogotá and many countries maintain consulates throughout Colombia in other major cities. Please consult the following website below for your home country. Please check if the information is correct before coming to Colombia. It's important to understand your country's level of assistance if you run into a problem. Most embassies encourage you to register

El encuentro tuvo como tema la vida de la Haroldo Calvo Stevenson ciudad en el siglo xvii, centuria que, se po- y dría decir, empezó para Cartagena en 1586 y terminó en 1697, es decir, desde el ataque de Cartagena de indias Francis Drake hasta la toma de Pointis. en el siglo xvii El siglo xvii es el periodo menos estudiado de la historiografía nacional y cartagenera. Quizás la razón estriba en que se trata de una Adolfo Meisel Roca época que no tiene los tintes heroicos de la gesta conquistadora y fundacional del siglo xvii xvi, la vistosidad de la colonia virreinal del siglo xviii, o el drama y las tristezas del xix. Llama la atención, por ejemplo, que la Histo- el siglo ria económica de Colombia editada por José Antonio Ocampo, que es el texto estándar Adolfo Meisel Roca y Haroldo Calvo Stevenson editores sobre la materia desde hace unos veinte años, se inicia con un ensayo de Germán Colmenares sobre la formación de la economía colonial y salta a un estudio de Jaime Jaramillo Uribe sobre la economía del Virreinato. La historia de Cartagena, quizás por las mismas razones, no ha sido ajena a este olvido.

  • Review on Hard Coral Recruitment (Cnidaria: Scleractinia) in Colombia
    Universitas Scientiarum, 2011, Vol. 16 N° 3: 200-218 Disponible en línea en: www.javeriana.edu.co/universitas_scientiarum 2011, Vol. 16 N° 3: 200-218 SICI: 2027-1352(201109/12)16:3<200:RHCRCSIC>2.0.TS;2-W Invited review Review on hard coral recruitment (Cnidaria: Scleractinia) in Colombia Alberto Acosta1, Luisa F. Dueñas2, Valeria Pizarro3 1 Unidad de Ecología y Sistemática, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. 2 Laboratorio de Biología Molecular Marina - BIOMMAR, Departamento de Ciencias Biológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. 3 Programa de Biología Marina, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. Santa Marta. Colombia. * [email protected] Recibido: 28-02-2011; Aceptado: 11-05-2011 Abstract Recruitment, defined and measured as the incorporation of new individuals (i.e. coral juveniles) into a population, is a fundamental process for ecologists, evolutionists and conservationists due to its direct effect on population structure and function. Because most coral populations are self-feeding, a breakdown in recruitment would lead to local extinction. Recruitment indirectly affects both renewal and maintenance of existing and future coral communities, coral reef biodiversity (bottom-up effect) and therefore coral reef resilience. This process has been used as an indirect measure of individual reproductive success (fitness) and is the final stage of larval dispersal leading to population connectivity. As a result, recruitment has been proposed as an indicator of coral-reef health in marine protected areas, as well as a central aspect of the decision-making process concerning management and conservation.

    Article Tourism challenges facing peacebuilding in colombia NAEF, Patrick James, GUILLAND, Marie-Laure Abstract Declaring that a tourist Colombia guarantees a post-conflict reconstruction is not a performative act. We must therefore ask ourselves whether perceiving tourism as a tool in the service of peace is more of a myth or a reality. After a brief look at the recovery of Colombian tourism since the beginning of the 2000s, this article aims to observe some of the challenges that have characterised the sector since the signing of peace agreements between the government and the FARC-Ep, such as the rebuilding the country's image, prostitution and narco-tourism, the issue of access to land and resources, the promotion of eco-tourism and "community" tourism, and the role of this industry in the reintegration of demobilised combatants.

  • Colombia LIVING LATIN LA VIDA What They Say…
    Colombia LIVING LATIN LA VIDA What they say… Stanley Stewart, FT How to Spend It - March 2017: “Casa Galavanta is not a five-star architect-designed villa. Guests will need to make do without a sauna, an aromatherapy shower, a 30m infinity pool! Luxury here is about location and privacy. On the front deck in the mornings, the only sounds are birdsong and the murmur of a stream in the forests below. But it is the situation that stuns. An eyrie high on the shoulders of the Sierra Nevada, Casa Galavanta enjoys views down to Santa Marta and the Caribbean far below. In the afternoon, clouds roll in until the house seems to be unconnected to the world, afloat in a misty heaven. By the evening the clouds have vanished again, and from the terrace the distant lights of Santa Marta twinkle like a fallen constellation.” HIGHLIGHTS To name just a few… A kaleidoscope of colour & senses, Colombia houses some of the worlds most vibrant street art scenes. Unlock these behind the scenes gems with a private guide including an exclusive visit to an art collector’s penthouse in Colombia Capital, Bogota, where he hosts one of Colombia’s largest and most impressive private art collections. Exclusive invitation to a “clandestine dinner” with influential Colombians, to learn about life, food and culture in Bogota and Colombia. Live like the locals - an experience that will leave you in awe of this fascinating country. As well as experiencing the life of llaneros, Colombian cowboys, learning how to lasso, barefoot riding, corralling cattle & using melody to call and ease cattle Endless activities for everyone, all ages.
