My brother was born in Cali, and for the last 3 decades, we have talked of visiting a place we have heard about from childhood. I had it slated for my 80s, but have started thinking about it nearer since a slew of people visiting La Perdida Cuidad, Cloud Forest, Bogota and Medellin, and an interesting podcast of news that would have otherwise passed me by about stability post-Pablo Escabar. How did I not hear that the government made a deal with the King of Narco?! Of course, my brother knew this already!
So this summer, we siblings have already started talking about the possibility.
Via Toronto, we can be in Bogota in less than $800 and for less than $800.
But the budget will be tough to get until a 25th anniversary trip is taken, and the summer will be the most expensive but only possible time to go.
So there is time to do some research, brush up on Spanish and save some money.
Still, the germ of an idea is started, and that anticipation is a great place to start!
