Now, I’m wondering if it’s worth it to hire a local Colombia-based agency to help with planning a more detailed day to day itinerary. I also wonder if they might be able to find…

6 weeks in Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. How would you split this if it’s you? My initial plan was to do 3 weeks Ecuador, 1 week Colombia and 2 weeks in Mexico.

Colombia – self guided hikes without car Hi, we are a group of two Austrians and just scored cheap flights to Medellín. We will be there for about nine days, starting on Dec 26.

Can you use eSIM for more than a month in Colombia? Next month I am travelling to Colombia. I recently heard that you have to registrer your phone if you want to use a SIM card for more than 30 days.

LATAM experience this summer – quick review (Ecuador, Colombia) TLDR: Flying on LATAM had cheap fares but unenforced or bizarrely enforced carry on bag procedures, unpredictable fees, and was delayed 2 / 3 flights. Not sure what airline would be better, unfortunately! OVERALL: Not once did we get asked if we had paid for our carryon bags, so presumably you could risk just not paying for a carryon and see…
