Well after 9 months or we finally got our hands dirty volunteering at Fundacion Viracocha for 2 weeks. It was a great experience despite some terrible sand fly bites! The area around San Agustin is particularly beautiful so I’d definitely put it in your travels plans when you hit Colombia next!
A little taste of what’s coming up in Planet Kapow’s videos.
ECUADOR!!!

Carina shows us how to make Peruvian style Ceviche
Liam sent me a link to this great clip of a guy called Ronnie in Botswana playing some ridiculously cool guitar (like the technique too). Love the tune!

Hola y bienvenidos a este episodio de PK. En este episodio visitamos San Gil, Barichara, Guane y Villa de Leyva.
Come watch us slide down natural rock slides, chance a game of “tejo”, eat some fat assed ants, chill under a waterfall, hang out with a giant Kronosaurus skeleton & various phallic stone carvings in Villa de Leyva and then go explore Colombia’s capital Bogota.
Lachlan’s writeup and the video are over here:
Yes, we are a bit behind with the videos. 4-5 countries or so.
But, so what, here is episode 36!
Up north in Colombia we make our way down to Mompox, accompanied by new Planet Kapow member Mr Phil Berry.
From Mompox we head down to the metropolis of Medellin for some party time and a splash in the pool.
Head on over to Planet Kapow and have a read and watch of our latest creation:

Ta dah!
Ep 35 we take a line up Colombia to Cartagena and explore all that is one of the most beautiful cities so far.
Then we plop into Volcan Totuma and float in the mud, then continue north to the perhaps once inviting Santa Marta and then realise that we probably should have been in Taganga the whole time.
And THEN… Phil Berry comes and rocks the scene.
Ladies & gentlemen head on over the planetkapow and read Lachie’s latest writeup and check out the video.
Hola Amigos!
Here we go, the big moment when we crossed from the wonderful world of central america, to the unknown that is south america.
We missed out on the cheap flights from Panama to Colombia, and the $500 5 day yacht cruise wasn’t exciting anyone, so we found a 3rd option. Get to the eastern Panamanian coast and try to catch little boats/rafts/turtles to make our way to Turbo.
In the end it took us 4 days and a lot of waiting around…
But, I will say that it was definitely worth the experience. I have spent so much time sitting in a wooden boat complaining about how much my ass hurt.
Mujeres y Caballeros, here is ep 34! Make sure to check out Lachie’s writeup which goes right into the details of the journey to Colombia.
The end of our central america chapter. In Ep 33 we cut through Costa Rica with blistering speed and hit Panama to explore Bocas del Toro and say our farewells to the wonderful part of the world.
Come see what we got up to and have a read of Lachie’s great writeup:

Lachie has a great right up which you must head on over and have a read of – and also watch the ep!
And a big congratulations to Bec & Max for their recent engagement!!!
