Trip 6 Itinerary cont. (October 2013 - October 2015)

- I lived in Colombia. In April until early May 2014 I backpacked for 1 month through some of Chile and Argentina!

Funnily this itinerary for Chile and Argentina starts and ends in Lima although it doesn't have to! The itinerary follows a natural route, one place to the next. From Chile crossing into Argentina then back into Chile. You can stay however long you want in each place and move on when you like, that's the best itinerary!

Colombia - In November I was in Filandia, Salento and the coffee region around Armenia. I spent 3 nights at Decameron Panaca which was awesome. Afterwards I spent 10 days in Bogota where I went graffiti art and mural hunting and enjoyed the city a lot! After that I spent 5 days in the hot north in Valledupar. I have spent the past several years living in Taganga on Colombia's north coast. During this time I have done many backpacking trips to other countries in South America!
