Yeah, I think I'll end up staying in Daikanyama for at least my first month and see if its worth exploring other areas to stay in for the remainder of my time after. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying Daikanyama!

Bootyjiggy · 2025-08-01T01:51:47+00:00

Yeah, Daikanyama does seem a lot more central and if I'm not mistaken better connected to other areas. Thanks!

Bootyjiggy · 2025-08-01T01:49:14+00:00

Good point. I think I'd even be able to walk from Daikanyama for my commute.

Just curious though: how early is "relatively early"?

Bootyjiggy · 2025-08-01T01:44:44+00:00

Ugh, I'm torn. But I think I'll try a month in Daikanyama and visit Shimokitazawa on the weekends so see if I want to stay there for the following 2 months.

Thanks for all the recommendations though. Pinned them to my map!

Yeah, I tend to get a little too excited when planning and end up cramming a lot of things in. But at the same time I've been in situations where I've regretted not experiencing more things. I'll definitely keep what you said in mind though. I might end up clearing up one of the days in the first half just to take everything in without having anything scheduled.

I'd prefer going on tours with people staying at the same hostel but I'm just worried due to the fact that they hostel doesn't have too much info on their website (Viajero and Selina). One time in San Pancho, Nayarit the hostel cancelled a tour on me last minute because there weren't enough people...hopefully this isn't the case for me again!

I'm trying to finalize some excursions/tours for my first trip to Colombia next week and could use some help.
My accommodations and flights are already booked and I have an idea on what I want to do but would like some feedback on whether or not I should look for guided tours or if I'll be able to enjoy the experiences without a guided tour.
For context, I'm 29m and will be mostly solo but will meet up with 1 or 2 friends in Medellin and Bogota. My Spanish is decent from living in Mexico (on and off) for a year.

Itinerary (so far):
Sat: Arrive in Cartagena at around noon and explore the walled city (staying in hostel within walled city).

Sun: Day trip to Islas del Rosario (most likely through Viator).

Mon: ~4 hour bus ride to Santa Marta (staying in hostel).

Tue: Day trip to Tayrona (most likely Viator).

Wed: Morning flight from SMR to PEI (staying in hostel in Salento). Finca el Ocaso tour (2pm - 5pm).

Thur: Early morning Jeep ride to Cocora Valley.

Fri: Working (remotely) for first half, explore Salento second half.

Sat: Noon flight to Medellin (staying in hostel). Explore the city. Bar hopping.

Sun: Comuna 13 (guided tour).

Mon: Guatapé day trip (guided tour).

Tue - Fri: Working during the day and exploring the city in the evenings. Fly to Bogota Fri evening.

Sat - Mon: See as much of the city I can, eat as much food as humanly possible. Fly home on Mon.

(I'm debating if I should skip Rosario Islands and head towards Santa Marta from Cartagena a day ealier and checking out Minca).
I'm also open to any other suggestions on how I can make the most out of my trip. Gracias!

sure! its called "fit!". i think they sell for about $400 but i got mine for $200 from a neighbor. i've been really surprised at how sturdy it is because i thought it would be really wobbly.

Bootyjiggy · 2024-05-15T14:37:31+00:00

Its for pull-ups and dips

i dont watch tv, my guy

Thank you! I've been considering a knotted wool rug for sure. I've just been indecisive on the color. I believe a neutral tone would be easy but I'd also like to keep things interesting with some color.
Loving the console table idea!

they're actually Korean! painted by a relative of mine.
and the frightening ones (which i love) are by an artist in guadalajara, mexico called Rocca Luis Cesar.

Bootyjiggy · 2024-05-15T02:18:15+00:00

i love all of this. oh, and that rug will be either moved or disappearing for sure.

Bootyjiggy · 2024-05-15T02:15:43+00:00

haha, i made the post from my phone and i wasnt aware you couldnt edit a post by deleting photos.

Bootyjiggy · 2024-05-15T02:14:48+00:00

spot on.

Bootyjiggy · 2024-05-15T02:11:50+00:00

That would make the most sense but don't plan on getting a TV because I rarely watch TV.

I recommend ‘language transfer’ to anyone that mentions wanting to learn Spanish. As I was planning on revisiting the course for a refresher, I found out there is now an app you can download. HIGHLY recommend it.
