As far as the area on the Caribbean with most foreigners and English speakers that would be Cartagena by far, followed by Santa Marta and then maybe Palomino. Mostly Euros here, and Canadians, the gringos seem to prefer the material advantages of ... Read More

Do you mean how far from Santa Marta am I? Palomino is not far at all but it takes longer on the bus than it should. Stop and go all the way........In a car or motorcycle it would probably be a 30 min drive. Read More

Since the protest on Monday on the border in Rumichaca, has Ecuador finally relented and done what they should have done a long time ago? Open the borde and allow free movement of people and vehicles? Read More
