Overview

38 days between Cartagena and Lima or vice versa...

Colombia is the starting point for the Andes. If the Andes are the backbone of South America, then Colombia has to it's elegant neck. The Andes are at their most subtle and some would say their most beautiful in Colombia. These great mountains stretch the length of the continent, dividing the narrow coastal zone from the massive Amazon Jungle. They are home to ancient Indian cultures, a lifestyle that dates back thousands of years, stunning landscapes and some of the most exciting countries to travel through. Travelling by truck through these mountains, criss crossing from jungle to desert, to high plateaus is what the Andes is all about but add in the jungles of Ecuador and you have an amazing trip.
