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

Crossing Into Colombia From Ecuador By Land by cccmedia
By reliable accounts, the safest, easiest land entry from Ecuador into Colombia is at the Rumichaca bridge between Tulcán, Ecuador .. and Ipiales, Colombia. The centers of those two cities are about ten miles apart. Although the Nariño ...
Anybody know what became of the protests on the border a few weeks ago? I havent heard a word about it. Colombian immigration is a messed up operation but at least they have their side open. Whats the deal with Ecuador? Bankers cooperating with ... Read More

Ok, Palomino update. Last days of the Week of Uribe vacation. How he has a week of vacations named after him Ive yet to find out. The place is packed. Beaches are packed despite the high waves which demolished much of the protective sea walls and ... 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

Well then CCC, just drive it over along with the endless caravan of other pirate taxis and trucks which are crossing at Urvina bridge and it will only cost you $1 for passage thru the private finca. Read More

@CCC and once again I repeat that the number of cases is irrelevant. Talk to me about the number of hospitalizations. Its been proven and even admitted by the WHO that pcr tests render up to 90% false positives. Which is why so many countries, ... 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

So just leave your car in a secure place for the time you will be in Colombia and travel by bus. Its very stressful driving in Colombia (or Ecuador for that matter) anyway. But yes I can attest, the buses are tedious.....Not regular flight service ... Read More

I lived in Palomino for 2 months at Hostel Cattelya, by the football field. I went there to escape the draconian lockdown policy of the Alcaldesa of Santa Marta who has since been removed by popular consensus. Palomino was and probaably still is the ... Read More

@ccc We did pass a SOAT agency office on the alternative route where the driver said you can get a permit for your car, but how can you get a permit if your not legally stamped in? In any case, the taxista who took me to the terminal told me they ... Read More

@CCC there is another bridge at Urbina or Urvina which crosses into private property on the Colombian side. Very close on the Ibarra side of Rumichaca. Taxi from Tulcan. Colombian taxis waiting on the other side. Appears to be the route that most ... Read More
