Chocolate Covered Alfajores

February 16, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Chocolate Covered Alfajores

For this week’s #BakingWithBeth, we’re recreating one of the most delicious cookies encountered in my travels – chocolate covered alfajores. We first discovered chocolate covered alfajores in Pichilemu during our two week stay at a family run hostel in Chile. The town of Pichilemu is known for the black beaches and waves. One of the many […]

Homeward Bound

June 19, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Homeward Bound

Sitting on the plane in route back to Los Angeles, I started looking through all the country albums I had created in iPhoto and the rush of feelings I got was surreal. It’s beyond incredible to think about the trip we just took. This past year was the most amazing year of my entire life. […]

A Journey to the Northern Tip of South America

June 12, 2013 by Beth Meyer

A Journey to the Northern Tip of South America

I had read about Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas and how they are among those few remaining places that are still a bit of an untouched paradise. I was instantly hooked. Plus, Punta Gallinas is the northern-most point of the South American continent and I love collecting those kinds of stats. I mean, […]

The Mud Volcano

The Mud Volcano

One of the popular tourist attractions while visiting Cartagena is a trip to El Totumo Mud Volcano. The mud in the volcano is said to have healing powers. We decided we were definitely going to check this one out and went with a tour group from our hostel. I’m not sure what I expected, but […]

San Andres & Providencia

May 24, 2013 by Beth Meyer

San Andres & Providencia

I had heard from fellow travelers that I needed to check out San Andres while I was in Colombia. Especially since flights are dirt cheap from Medellin. Danielle had heard the same and the timing worked out perfectly once we met back up to take one last island trip, ala Maldives (sans amazing Ocean Front […]

A Walk through Medellin

May 18, 2013 by Beth Meyer

A Walk through Medellin

We took a free walking tour with the newly formed Real City Tours, run by the extremely knowledgable Pablo. Pablo was born and raised in Medellin and grew up during the particularly violent and tumultuous period during the eighties and nineties (side note: I’m currently reading Killing Pablo and it’s insane and fascinating what took […]

Botero

May 17, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Botero

Fernando Botero is a Medellin-born, Colombian artist that is famous for painting and sculpting people and objects that are exaggeratedly enormous. I had visited the Botero Museum in Bogota, but being that Medellin is his home town, it’s almost a given that you need to stop by and check out Plaza Botero and the Museo […]

Zona Cafetera

May 16, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Zona Cafetera

Zona Cafetera or the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and truly represents the tradition of Colombian coffee grown in the mountain foothills. Colombia is the third largest coffee exporter in the world and the only big producer that exclusively grows arabica beans. A popular stop to explore the Zona Cafetera […]

Bogota: Exploring the Colombian Capital

Bogota: Exploring the Colombian Capital

Following Cali, Mark and I headed up to explore the Colombian capital city of Bogota. We stayed in La Candelaria, the historic colonial neighborhood of Bogota. It’s a great location and easy to walk to some of the more noteworthy attractions including: Plaza de Bolivia, La Catedral Primada, the Museo del Oro, Monserrate and Museo Botero. […]

Cali: The Salsa Capital of the World

May 6, 2013 by Beth Meyer

Cali: The Salsa Capital of the World

Our first stop in Colombia was Cali. This seemed to confuse people when I told them I was currently in Cali, as I used to live in Cali – California. This Cali is in Colombia and is about a ten hour bus from the border of Ecuador. Due to its rich Afro-Colombian influence, Cali is […]
