The beautiful whales that visit the Colombian Pacific coast seasonally, as well as the local surfers from the <a href="http://www.clubdesurfdelchoco.com/" target="_blank">Club de Surf del Choco</a>, make a cameo.<br />

There is a very good shot of the Pico de Loro rock outcrops from the south side, as pictured below, which usually have only been pictured from the north side where the wave breaks.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Isla Fuerte is a small island located in the Cordoba department on the Caribbean coast of Colombia.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
It is located about 11km from land, and is part of the chain of islands comprised of Islas del Rosario and the archipelagos of San Bernardo and Tortuguilla.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The fastest way to the island is to drive or fly to Monteria, and from there to the port of Paso Nuevo where one can take a boat ride (approximately 30 minutes) to the island.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The island is perfectly positioned to receive NW swell. <br />
The best wave on the island, and arguably the best on the Caribbean coast of Colombia is the aptly named <b>ColPipe</b>. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://windsurfcolombia.blogspot.com/2009/06/isla-fuerte-on-caribbean-coast-of.html" target="_blank">Back in 2009</a>, the wave was not surfed much or at least it had not been documented, but now v<span style="line-height: 22.4px;">iew this video produced by </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/zomefilms/" style="line-height: 22.4px;" target="_blank">ZOME films</a><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> of a recent surf trip in 2015 to Isla Fuerte, with Barranquilla body boarders Stephen Meyer, Ruben Villegas and surfer Roberto Marulanda.</span></div>

<br />
Colombia is already known for having beautiful girls.<br />
<br />
But what could be better than a couple of beautiful Colombian girls that kitesurf?<br />
Not much really.<br />
<br />
Below, check out this video of Colombian kitegirls <b>Stephany Leon, Andrea Guzman and Ana Maria Montoya </b>kitesurfing in Lake Calima near Cali, Colombia.<br />
<br />
Lago Calima is windy over 325 days per year, because of the thermal effect that funnels wind from the mountains into the lake. <br />
<br />
For kitesurfing, windsurfing rentals and lessons, check out <b><a href="http://www.pescaowindsurfing.com/index.php/en/" target="_blank">PESCAO Windsurfing School</a></b>.<br />

<br />
<br />
The windsurfing and StandUp Paddlesurfing around Barranquilla are excellent, specially during the windy season running from December through April.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But there can also be some nice days in the pre-season months.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a video showing the SUP, windsurfing and kitesurfing potential in Salgar (Castillo de Salgar) in the pre-season month of October.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Bogota’s new culinary scene is
flourishing; so much so that some big stars from the food world have come to
city to check it out what all the buzz is about.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Anthony Bourdain’s new CNN show <b><i><a href="http://youtu.be/VSH8hgib7RI" target="_blank">Parts Unknown - Colombia</a></i></b> featured some segments with Chef <b><a href="http://thecitypaperbogota.com/opinion/a-chefs-quest/" target="_blank">Tomas Rueda</a></b> of <a href="http://thecitypaperbogota.com/dining/tabula-simplicity-reigns/" target="_blank">TABULA</a>
restaurant in La Macarena neighborhood.
I ate there a couple of years, not knowing about the place, and I have
to say that I was so impressed that I will never forget the Octopus with
Rosemary dish I had. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Conde Naste Traveler magazine also
featured Bogota in the Frank Bruni’s article titled <b><i><a href="http://www.cntraveler.com/food/2013/07/bogota-colombia-dining-restaurants-chefs" target="_blank">Colombia’s Culinary Comeback</a></i></b>
in one of its mothly publications. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Other notables Chefs, such as
<b><a href="http://cheftoddenglish.com/" target="_blank">Todd English</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.osteriamorini.com/index.php?action=page&id=1890" target="_blank">Michael White</a></b> of Marea and Osteria Marini in Manhattan, <b><a href="http://gourmetfood.about.com/od/chefbiographi2/p/ferranadriabio.htm" target="_blank">Ferran Adria</a></b> of El Bulli in Spain, <b><a href="http://laurent-tourondel.com/" target="_blank">Laurent Tourondel</a></b> of BLT restaurant group, <b><a href="http://www.bogotawineandfood.com/older/persona/jordan_salcito_2012.html#.UitGwcasiSo" target="_blank">Jordan Salcito</a></b> of Momofuku, have been in the city.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Heck, even <b>Martha Stewart</b> was in
Bogota and Medellin. Check out her Blog entries
here: <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2013/03/day-one-of-my-time-in-colombia-south-america.html" target="_blank">Day 1</a>, <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2013/03/day-one-in-medellin-part-two.html" target="_blank">Day 1 Part 2</a>, <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2013/03/day-two-in-medellin-the-morning.html" target="_blank">Day 2</a>, <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2013/04/visiting-with-artists-in-la-candelaria-in-bogota.html" target="_blank">Day 3 Bogota Artists</a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In part this is due to the
success of the yearly <a href="http://www.bogotawineandfood.com/older/esp/personalidades2012.html#.Uis_y8asiSo" target="_blank"><b><i>Bogota Wine and Food Festival</i></b> </a>- created
by Colombian sisters <a href="http://www.bogotawineandfood.com/es/equipo.html#.UitBEcasiSq" target="_blank">Gaileen and Iris Quinn</a> – which has brought in Top Chefs
from around the world. In return those
chefs have gone back to their countries and spread the word about Bogota’s emerging
food scene. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In another part, it also due to
the long list of Colombian chefs who trained in Europe and the United States at
world-renowned restaurants, and have now returned to Bogota to open up their
own eateries. Above video from <b><a href="http://www.vice.com/en_us" target="_blank">Vice News</a></b>
is a testament to that, as Chef <b><a href="http://www.bogotawineandfood.com/en/daniel_castano.html#.UitDQcasiSo" target="_blank">Daniel Castaño</a></b> (who worked with Mario Batali in
NY) of <b>Gordo,</b> gives us a culinary tour
of the best up-and-coming restaurants in Bogota. <o:p></o:p><br />
