good morning from the Caribbean coast of Colombia we are now actually in probably our favorite place
that we've been to in all of Colombia we are by the beach on the Caribbean and this place
is absolutely stunning look at the water in this video we're going to show you why you
should visit this beautiful Town it is honestly very different from the rest of Colombia how
was that little swim in the ocean it was so nice and refreshing right now it is only 10:00 a.m. so
it's not that busy on the beach but we'll bring you down here for Sunset because honestly The
Vibes are so nice it is such a good atmosphere it is also the Easter holiday so there's a bit
more people in the town at the moment because usually it's more of a sleepy backpack of town
but there's local loads of locals in and it's a good vibe so right now is actually dry season
here so the waves aren't too crazy in wet season the waves get a lot bigger and that's when it's
really hard to swim in the sea because you get a lot of rip currents and stuff but right now
the conditions in March are perfect we're going to quickly pop back to where we're staying show
you around there and then we're going to do one of the most popular activities here in Palomino
so this is our room this is only costing us 35 USD at night and honestly it is not too
bad and the really good thing about this place is it actually has a really fast Wi-Fi and as
people online that's something we really crave and this Palomino is not really the best spot
if you want really good Wi-Fi but this base has it anyway we've also got AC and we actually get free
breakfast every single day and it's not just one of those cheap free breakfasts just to say they've
got free breakfast is actually really filling and really good we are about to go tubing we're
just Sun creaming up because we did get a little bit burnt yesterday when we were on the beach I
think our drivers are here now because we actually have to get motorbikes to get to the start of the
river it is only 11:00 a.m. and apparently it's best to do it in the morning because otherwise
the river gets a bit colder because it comes from the mountains and stuff we haven't got
any drinks or anything so hopefully we don't get thirsty or hungry I don't even know how long it
lasts that was a very bumpy Journey on the bike only about 15 minutes though now we're
walking to the part of the river where I think we jump on and Sho so we're going to level two
and I think it's about a 40 minute walk through this jungle till we get to the point where we
actually get in so we got a little hike before we earn the relaxing tube down the river I tell you
what it's actually quite a hard walk you got to go uphill all around the mountains it's not like an
easy 40-minute STW jez I'm not sure I signed up to this jungle hike and Birkenstocks really did
you no it's pretty hard going I signed up for a relaxing tubing session and Meanwhile we're
in a 40-minute hike Through the Jungle sweating myself to to death so at this time of the year
it is very dry here it is obviously dry season as it's very dusty even here in the rainforest
but that also means that the river level is a lot lower so I've heard some mixed things
about this at this time of the year but let's see what it's going to be like we're so high up we've
got a Viewpoint now down there is the town of palomino pretty nice okay we've started heading
down so maybe we just have to climb that mountain to get to the start point we have arrived at the
river it's cold it's not that bad really we have just got on to the beautiful River Palomino and
I think just ahead we have our first Rapids I think we're going to get stuck in some bamboo
in a second oh dear oh no going into the bush no oh side web we're going down the Rapids whoa wao
these really are some Rapids some speed up here this is awesome yeah it's a monkey brown guys we
just saw our first South American monkey I have no idea what kind of monkey that is but it was
like a ginger color maybe we'll look it up later I feel like I'm about to eat your toes very much
in my face right now yeah I'm sorry about that our guide just said we had an hour and 20 left
to go so still more relaxing time oh jeez this bit's so fast we're heading for that Rock what
Emilia Emilia Emilia careful put your feet out how did we miss it do you want a Pain au chocolat yes
please this might be the most random place I've eaten a pan of Pain au chocolat look at that only
5,000 Colombian pesos pretty good what a seen it place to eat a Pain au chocolat yeah pretty
good this is what I have to see that whole time we are tubing I just have Joel's lovely feet
in my face I don't like feet right guys we're just going to pull in here and go
for a little swim I think because this River looks delightful to swim in you ready yeah I
just can't stop I've just got rock Sumer bum yep it's not that y it's not deep I
think over here you can actually get a rope swing and jump in the river we're so doing
that I need that oh wow Joel is going to go over and try the r swing I'm going to try
and for the last half an hour we've just been floating Downstream we are so relaxed
now we've just seen loads of local kids like jumping in it seems this is a bit of a local
hot spot but I think we are nearing the beach now how you doing I am so chilled out you look very
chilled yeah apart from that Pain au chocolat I'm a little bit hungry so I'm going forward
to lunch but this is delightful it's lovely you don't really need a drink no Amelia's
cooling down because she's getting a little hot in the sun should I dunk my face yes dunk
it we are approaching the beach I can see some little beach Shacks coming up I think we're going
to see the the fresh water blend with the salt water soon I think this is the end where we're
going to get out I don't know where our guide is I think he must got caught somewhere but the
whole journey was at 2 and a half hours give or take depending on the strength of the river and
how obviously how much it flows but pretty good experience and I would highly recommend it is so
chilled out it really fits the vibe of Palamino oh pH we've washed off from the tubing and we're
going to head down to the beach because that is where the Vibes are at Sunset There You Go
sir here we go we are just walking down the main street through Palomino and honestly it is so cool
just Dusty dry streets obviously because it's dry season but it is such a beautiful chilled
out town as you'll see there are so many Street sellers here selling like homemade necklaces
shoes all that kind of stuff as it is so dry one of the things they do is actually water
the road so that the dust doesn't come up from the cars which is actually really nice because
otherwise you just get a face full of the dust and here we are through to the beach once again
for Sunset The Vibes here on a Tuesday evening are incredible it is the Easter holidays I think
at the moment which is why Palamino is actually a lot busier than usual the sun's going down in
the next half an hour it is a beautiful part of the country and it is so relaxing
here we've just been watching the sunset but this beach is so big that you can really spread
out from everyone and there's so many little like beach bars and restaurants are such like
an atmosphere as Joel said If you're looking for more of like a chilled Vibe maybe you've
been backpacking hardcore around Colombia maybe through Central America and this place this town
is going to be a really nice place for you just to chill out for a few days eat some good food
sit on the beach go for a little swim it also feels super safe like you don't really have to
worry about your stuff on the beach you don't have to worry about having a phone out compared
to like the rest of Colombia here we felt so safe yeah this is definitely the safest place
we've been in the whole country because you can literally walk around with phone cameras
and no one's going to but an eyelid everyone's very chilled you don't have to worry about not
going out at night we've just come into this restaurant I actually have no idea what it's
called because we had a couple of Mojitos on the beach and we just walked in here because
it had a toilet to be honest but it does look very good they have a proper pizza oven and
live music what could be better we have just got our pizzas straight out of the oven they're so
hot I've actually got a vegan pizza I know it doesn't look very interesting it's just
vegetables and no cheese but that's the way I like it okay but Joel has got a pepperoni and
the dough looks so good so here we go we have this pepperoni pizza in the beautiful town of
Palamino let's give it a taste and again we have no idea what this restaurant is called
M that's good we've actually been eating at a couple of other restaurants whilst being
here and I highly recommend them I've just put them down here and they are a little bit cheaper
than this one so bit more on a budget or you eat like vegan restaurants then choose one of
these so guys that is the end of this beautiful day in Palamino and honestly
I would highly recommend coming to this spot thank you so much for watching I
