The lay of the land
With 5 neighbours sharing a border, Colombia lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

Travel notes for Colombia
CO / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
Colombia sits close enough to the equator that the year is measured in rain, not seasons. The dry stretch is the comfortable one for moving around. The wet one doesn’t cancel the trip, but it does soak it.
Paying your way
Take out cash less often and in bigger amounts: most ATM fees are charged per withdrawal, not per euro, so four small ones cost four times what one does. Use a machine attached to a real bank, in daylight, indoors if you can.
Documents & cover
Entry rules depend on your passport, so confirm whether you need a visa or travel authorisation before you book, and check your passport has enough validity left. Travel insurance is worth arranging either way: medical care abroad can get expensive fast.
Getting understood
Learn four words: hello, thank you, please and sorry. They’re not for communicating, they’re for something else: people’s faces change when you try, and that opens more doors than any app.
