[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh boy, here we go. Colombia is the new Portugal. [/quote]

Please stfu. People are allowed to go to places they’ve never been even if you’ve already been there . [/quote]

Yes, like sheep and because of some stupid reason, like the Disney Bruno film in this case, or Game of Thrones in the case of Croatia, or now White Lotus for Sicily. God forbid people go places for original reasons. It’s a shame, because places like Colombia, Portugal, Croatia, and Iceland were absolutely wonderful decades ago. But mass tourism is unsustainable and completely ruins places. It’s a pity. But oh well, so many other places to explore that people like OP would never even know. [/quote]

I’m OP. Who do you even think you are to assume I haven’t been anywhere because I haven’t been to a country you went to before me. I’ve been all over Europe, lived in Japan, trekked through India, done all the Caribbean countries, and spent time in most of the US states. I really hate people like you who love to travel shame. The world is massive, you can’t shit on people for not yet making it somewhere you have and then still wanting to go there even though you seem to think it should be closed to tourism once you’ve seen it. Truly, get a life. [/quote]

Really? Then why don’t you tell us what attracted you to Cartagena, one of the most overtouristed cities in all of South America, as opposed to the countless more original choices you could have made? And by the way, one doesn’t “do” countries. [/quote]

Nobody owes you any explanation. Don’t hang out in a travel forum if you think the only acceptable time to travel was 30 years ago or the only acceptable place to travel is a country nobody has discovered yet. You do this on so many threads and I recognize it’s you because you always whine and moan about Portugal only being worth it 20-30 years ago. We get it. You’re old and have been to every single place on this planet and everyone else is beneath you. You win! [/quote]

Yes, it is unfortunate to see what has happened in Iceland and Portugal, and it’s a shame to see the same thing happening in Colombia. Mass tourism destroys places and is harmful in so many ways. It’s not just me saying this, there have been countless articles written about the trend. So yes, I do groan when I see another clueless sheep head to Cartagena. It’s a big world and we don’t all need to go the exact same places. [/quote]

So…are you saying that you had visited those places too? hahaha.[/quote]

Yes. Anywhere they go it’s fine.  But anyone else who goes there is a sheep contributing to mass tourism. What a dweeb. But anyway. Please keep sharing Colombia recs for me and my sheep family , the first few posts were really helpful and appreciated.  [/quote]

We went to Tayrona Nat'l Park, which I think the PP mentioned and it was fantastic (Santa Marta, the nearish town was quiet but nice).  The highlands sound very interesting too.[/quote]
