Here are the highlights of the most iconic and beautiful hikes I’ve done, with maps, routes and detailed instructions. Most of these hikes are day-hikes, but some are more epic adventures. The multi-day hikes you can find here usually include staying in huts or home stays, rather than wild camping. Since I travel as a solo woman, safety is very important when selecting and organizing a hike. I can recommend all of these for fellow solo travelers!

Discover the essence of Colombia with my guide to its most iconic experiences. Mountains, jungle, tropical islands, modern cities and coffee plantations…this country really has it all. Today it is far from what it used to be – a troubled place of drug cartels and civil war, and later, an undiscovered travel gem. A growing number of international visitors, including women and solo travellers are drawn to this beautiful country, and rightfully so.
