A meet-up in Bogota, a new bag for the Albatross, the highest palm trees in the world and a lot of FRIENDS: old friends, new friends, Colombian friends, international friends.
Last week we travelled through the doors of the Andes in Colombia. High elevations and dramatic landscapes around: a dream. This week we went down in elevation, we have a lot of people we want to meet in and around the big cities of Colombia. Since we started the journey we got virtually in contact with a log of Colombians over landers and it was finally the opportunity for us to meet them.
We also meet again with long-time friends we travelled with in Baja California: the one and only @gdayjambo ! It is such a great feeling to be able to meet again and we explore one of the most unique region of Colombia home to an exceptional type of tree... The tallest palm trees in the world!
So it was busy weeks with a lot happening and especially a tons of amazing encounters.
Next week we embark on something entirely different! we hope you will enjoy it. Have a superb weekend and until next week: take care!
Nick & Mathilde

The mountains, the coffee plantations, and those incredibly tall palm trees - wow, the nature is amazing in Colombia! Funny to see Olivia with her peanut butter and "jambo" (later, peanut butter & banana) sandwiches 😂. Wish I could have been there for some of those tacos -- nothing like a good meal outdoors with great friends!

Not everything is perfect for sure but those days are long gone and Colombians are very proud of that and hope the country can be mentionned for other things than drugs and cartel. And surely travelling there that s is what we remember: it is nothing like what is said. Thanks so much for watching rainy days hope all is well !

I think Medellin (or, as they pronounce it, Mede-gin) is one of the coolest cities I have been to. I liked how it was in a bowl in the middle of the mountains, and the climate there was really temperate. The city definitely had a vibrant atmosphere and, yeah, it seemed really well-endowed with a lot of civic art and modern buildings. I also saw those tall palm trees during a meeting in Armenia, which is in that coffee region. The wild thing about them is not only the height, but the fact that this area doesn't feel tropical. Because of the elevation, it is pretty cool up there, not like you are approaching the equator. But it IS very green. I liked how you can get the verdant green of the tropics, but you're not boiling hot all the time.

Who would have ever thought Columbia was so nice, especially those gorgeous mountains and tall palm trees. You are both by far the best adventurers. You have the best personalities, you show us places that nobody else does. So many have failed and giving up. But you both keep showing us exceptional scenery country after country. It's a pleasure to see you both and watch your video every week. You are both well-loved everywhere. Looking forward to next week's video. Take care! 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻

Im so surprised to see palm trees in the moutains in a cool climate. They look so out of place. I wonder how they got there and survive. Columbia is beautiful, the cities and coutryside. So interesting to see the many homes built up the side of the mountain. Looked like perfect weather.

Those palm trees are amazing. Fascinating trip through Columbia. So good to see it from the ground, if you know what I mean, not just as vaguely negative news stories. Everyone seemed very friendly. Glad you didn't lose Albo in the swap - or indeed over any of those scarily steep edges on those narrow roads. Also interesting that Columbia is where so many overlanders get together.

Hi guys! Since you already have visited more places than I thought you would by the time, let me suggest a visit to Manizales. They have a network of cable cars there to connect some areas of the city, something unusual for us in Europe. Also, bare in mind that Colombia has 14 active volcanoes, some of them more than 5.000 m. Don't miss to visit one if possible. Finally, since you already are ahead, when you visit Equador and go outside of Quito to the Equator line, there are two Equator lines there. The most famous is the old one, positioned by 1735 to 1744 and the a newer one, more accurate which is some 250m away, with no signals and labels at all. Ask for it and go there. It' outside of the perimeter of the tourist area. You will see things you never dreamed of. Keep safe.
@NextMeridianExpedition
@NextMeridianExpedition Год назад
Hello! Thanks a lot for all the recommendations. We saw the cable cars of manzaniles it was awesome. And as you saw we took the ones of Medellin. You re right it felt so strange. Felt like going skiing. We has a bit of difficulty with the Colombian volcano. For most you need a guide and some were closed ( we really wanted to do azufrar but it s not open since 2017). We re in Ecuador and it is amazing ! We love it really 😍 hope all is well!

We have heard so many bad things about Colombia, but you show us nothing but Beauty. There is supposed to be millions of gang members in prison in Columbia, there is the newly-released movie sound of Freedom about child sex trafficking in Columbia. Columbia is painted as being a really terrible place. But from what you show us it looks very nice and quiet and peaceful. I guess there are some bad areas not to go into. Thank you for showing us the beautiful side of Columbia. We love your videos. ✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

But mistakenly seen it makes my day cos you can't talk about Caribbean or south America without the people of colour which your ancestors brought there many years ago. But am to see 👀 two of them in this video. Am as happy as mathilde now 😅😅😅😅
