i took a bus in colombia... and this happened! 🇨🇴 (Travel Documentary) 

Another great video Dan. I'll be back in Medellin next month. I might go to Guatapé but as I'm now 50+ years old 650 steps is part of the past for me. "Enjoy it while you can" as they say. Here's a brief culture/language lesson. One of the interesting things about visiting different Spanish-speaking countries is noticing the different uses of "usted" the formal version of "tu". This is often difficult for English speakers since English eliminated the formal version of "you"--which was "thee"--a few centuries ago. In Mexico it's culturally very important to understand when to call someone "tu" and when to call them "usted". After more than 20 years in Mexico I'm still learning. However, in Spain, "usted" has all but disappeared and "tu" is used almost exclusively. Colombia is the exact opposite of Spain. Almost everyone is called "usted". Other Spanish-speakers find it hilarious to hear Colombians use "usted" when talking to their siblings. Many even use it when talking to their dog. If you've seen the Netflix series "Narcos" Pablo Escobar uses "usted" when talking to his young son. That's unheard of in most Spanish-speaking countries. Just thought you might find this interesting. I was an English teacher for many years and language is one of my favorite things to observe and study.

It's good to see you traveling again, you do look way more optimistic than before. You look in your element when you discover the unsuspected wonders of the world.

Cheers from Envigado. Sooo glad I’m not in Montreal. I’m going to san Andres from the 14th to the 18th then my friend from Mexico is coming on the 19th. Will take him to guatape, jardín, cerro tusa, aire abierto gym, and hopefully a soccer game. Of course party at provenza y la 70

Hi Dan, we climb to the top when I was in elementary school, I'm from Medellin, the steps used to be in wood and it was scary cause the wood will make sounds, glad you are enjoying my beautiful country Colombia, greetings from USA 🇺🇸

I am loving see Columbia with you, great Vlogs Dan!

After spending nearly the last twenty years wintering in Colombia from Canada, Guatape is the area I could live in full time. As an avid fisherman, that reservoir is stocked with both lake trout and bass. The air temperature is perfect, year round.

Absolutely loved my time in Guatape, I need to come back. The people there are so welcoming! Would be great to rent a house for a week there

This looks great. I'm glad that I already have Guatape on my list. 😊

Love what she says at 9:45 mark: everything in life has some risk, but what’s waiting on the other side could be magical. AMEN!!

8:18 You know you're watching a Colombia vlog video when when you hear that Vallenato song background noice

What an awesome little town - definitely worth going to, it appears! The climb up the stairs looks like fun and the view OMG. Appears it might be a man-made lake?

🐢 Great content as always Dan.👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you. 😊

🐢 I've just discovered your channel, and I'm from Medellin. What I like from your vídeos and make the difference is the narrative. You're not only showing a view from your perspective, you are transferring feelings, emotions.

Made it to the end 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

It’s actually a huge man made lake! Very interesting story behind it construction. I did it at 62 and over weight stopped when I needed too! It was well worth it!

Chevere🎉❤

Thx u, ❤️🇨🇴

Very well done and informative videos Dan!! From Canada 🇨🇦

And look up Sapzurro....if you need a few days off....last bay before Panama. Do the walk to LaMile in Panama. Cartagena is a must. If you wanna travel on to Peru, consider going along the Amazonas from Leticia. If you should do that....stay a few days in Puerto Narino. If you go along Amazona....dont miss Iquitos.

Great video! Did you stay over night, or can you do this in one day and get back to Medellin! Loving the videos!

@TheNewTeavel what was the bus line you took to Guatape?

I haven’t seen any blogs from you in over a year. What’s up with that? I live In PA so I feel Jim Thorpe is the best walkable town with a scenic train ride. An art museum attached to the restaurant. Beautiful stores. Home to stone row where the majority of millionaires once lived now it’s shops and restaurants. Bike rentals so you can take the trails and discover a waterfall. Best Sicilian pizza ever. Murder mystery bed and breakfast inn. An opera house. The coolest jAil tour closed in 1970 much much more so walkable. The Molly McGuire restaurant has entertainment in the summer. The most beautiful fall foliage display.❤️

Lake Tahoe. Bend, OR. Leavenworth, WA.

Hey what month was you here... weather looks perfect

You should visit La Macarena and do one of the EcoTours guided by students to Cano Cristales. Best tours ever to the most magical place ever. Dont miss Cano Cristales

650 steps. Im more than happy to see it from the town. 👌🤣 2x👍

That's where Above & Beyond performed on that giant rock 🥺🥺🥺

Yes Dan, the lake is man-made. One of the few times when man made is wholly benefitial. Along with the blue lagoon lake in Iceland. All man-made

Toronto is a midwestern middle-sized American city

Seaside FL....

Beautiful place in USA is Riverside California in Riverside California is beautiful

wow she is really cool, i want to be her friend

Eureka Springs, Arkansas;)

The USA is so big it’s hard to say, depending what part of the country you’re in. I’ll give you a few towns to escape to: Asheville, NC; Charleston, SC; Key West, FL; and I have to be honest, not sure what’s going on west of the Mississippi River; maybe Lake Tahoe might qualify in CA/NV. Perhaps the Grand Canyon in AZ; maybe some other national parks like Yosemite in CA

Bend Oregon

I don’t speak Spanish. How much of a problem will this be travelling around Columbia?

Hey Dan, I watched your videos before. Could you make another video just telling us about how you make money? I know traveling can be expensive but how do you do it to afford travel? Make friends? I just find what you do is very interesting I just don’t know how you do it? Your a influencer to learn about…. Thank you if you read this :)

Nothing is the same after visiting Mexico..

it is more polite to use USTED (instead of tu) when we talk with elderlies in Spanish.

Portable Rappers are the most annoying part of Colombia for me!

Los pueblos mágicos están en todos lados. Toda latinoamerica es bella. Este canadiense pudo ser más original y llamarlo pueblo del realismo mágico, en honor al grande Gabo. Saludos afectuosos desde México amigos colombianos.☀️🙂

Chinitas eh?

I don’t think it looks pretty at all … at list not compared to other real old authentic towns in Latinoamérica. I bit too staged and crazy. Nope 👎🏾
