What’s up guys look at your boy El checkin and before I get out of C Han I had to get you guys this stared kit I think out of all the places I visited C is probably the place I get the most questions about so look buckle up

Because we’re gonna get right into it let’s go first thing first where to stay hands down people ask me all the time where is the best place to stay in C Hana and look if you watch my starter hits in the past you know I like to come

To a place two or three times before I make a video video like this and this is why I’ve been a CA three times a vacation guys trip and solo travel so I can really shine light on this point so look we’ll start in that order but stick

Around because I have a hack for any of those people looking for more guest friendly let’s Shri accommodations but vacations I would definitely recommend a hotel in ca for vacations now hotels are great if you you know have maybe one or two things you want to get done during

The day but relaxation and safety are your main priorities this is me right here in interart hotel yeah I do go to InterContinental Hotel I’m not Drake even though InterContinental I don’t know if it’s just C but they do charge you a pretty penny to get in

There but yeah like I said you know you got infinity pools and to be honest it’s nice to have those amenities right at your fingertip panina colada massages pools everything right there room service with your little boot thing you know you guys can really have a great

Time so I recommend you know hotels just for that reason it’s a it’s a secluded spot where you guys can really enjoy each other’s company now for friend trips you know girls trip guys trip I recommend a Airbnb at boa Grande or inside the wall City boka Grande is

Easily the best views in the city um and look as a rule of thumb the nicer the apartment right the more micromanage it will be um this means if you know you’re on that girl trip that guy’s trip but you want to turn up you want to have a

Music blasting you want to have people in and out the apartment you probably do not want to go for those luxury Penthouse uh type of Vibes even though I know you guys want it but the thing is you’re going to get more of those knocks

On the door you’re going to get more of those messages from the host um you’re going to get more of the security downstairs giving you problems so that’s something you want to think about when you dumbing through the the the options on your BNB and you seeing all

These great places for for decent prices the nicer the spot the more um microman you’re going to be with it so it’s important to keep that in mind now look Bo Grande is a great location because like I said it’s right there it’s in the tourist area you got the

Beach right outside um and I think the best reason for the Airbnb is you get the multiple room situation so you’re with your girls you’re with your guys you guys can all stay in one place be comfortable get three bedrooms four bedrooms however you want to do it all

Be together and really get to enjoy the vibe now on the other hand is the wall City I think this option is a great option for people who really want to focus on night life because that’s where it goes down um but same type of uh same

Type of ball game as far as the nicer spot you get the more problems you’ll have as far as uh being micromanaged and be a looked at now I told you guys I got a little hack for the solar Travelers and those people who don’t like being micromanaged and

That’s what we jump in right now in this option so this right here is a mini apartment this is a basically a no FRS apartment affordable gets the job done nothing glamorous here but if you travel as much as I do you’ll start to realize that sometimes peace of mind can come

Over luxury you know it’ll definitely make up for it as you can see you just walk straight in the spot there’s no nobody watching you there’s nobody on you there’s no problems you know there’s there’s nobody who’s going to come out and say the music’s too loud because

Who’s who there’s no one there regulating anything um hosts to these type of places tend to be really chill very uh very laidback and you know there’s there’s not much interference as far as like you know the building getting away it’s just shoting the host

You know most of the time so I really like these spots and like I said this is a great option if you’re a Solo Traveler I would recommend it even to the Friends group but as you can see most of these places usually are like Studios or one

Bedroom so you probably won’t be able to fit your whole uh group in here but it’s a it’s a great option for those looking for GU guest friendly spots or those looking for just a spot with less um less eyes on you all right guys next

Let’s get into beaches now I’m G be honest a lot of people come to Carana thinking it’s a great Beach destination and look it is it is but it’s important to know what beach offers what what type of vibe right if if not you’ll go to boa Grande

Thinking that you’re about to get a Bora Bora and you end up getting an orch beach in the Bronx so so I’m going to break down the beaches um starting with player Blanca now player Blanca is hands down the best option for those looking for more Jamaica Dr sky blue Beach you

Know with that Caribbean feeli nice in beach bars Beach Clubs now the draw back to Playa Blancas about 45 minutes away from the tourist area like B Grande and all that and you can take a uber there and back pretty easily I just recommend that you talk to the Uber driver and ask

If they could bring you back so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of trying to find a uber later at night um great beach one of my favorite beaches when I go out there before I like I’m aging myself but way way back in the day

You used to have to actually like set up a tour because Uber wasn’t really in Colombia or I wasn’t using it but now you could just hop in Uber and get that one two three next is Bo next is Boe boa gandi like I said is the the

Main tourist Beach is the one you probably see a lot of people at um you see the views and all that now boa Grande is not gonna give you that that Caribbean uh sky blue Beach V it’s not gonna give you that come clean it’s not

It’s not gonna give you that and to be honest the first time I went to C Hana I didn’t even go to his Beach I I stayed right in front of it I never went down because I was underwhelmed but I will say this beach is an acquired taste it’s

An acquired taste because when I started going I started liking it I’m like okay this is kind of cool like The Vibes are there you got to give it a shot you know it has the beautiful sky uh Skyline right behind it like that Miami skyline

Behind it um it’s a lot of good energy on the beach the sunset is crazy you got to just give it a chance and I I guarantee you it will move up your ranks as far as like a beach that you want to go to uh next Beach is Castillo Grande

And we’ve seen that beach in one of my videos I just uh put out and that beach is a super lowkey beach again it’s it’s the pr is so close to the tourist area it’s right down the block from boag Grande but it’s kind of on a more local

Side so this is a cool spot if you need a break from Boa Grande um you may have hit all the spots you may just be looking for something to do for the day just to get a couple hours past maybe just want to crack open us AA and chill

And you know get get some music you know maybe try out to your dance moves hit a little salsa but CH on the beach this is it nobody going to look at you weird because this is more of a local spot um but yeah it’s right next to Bo Gand and

It’s option A lot of people Overlook all right guys so next we’re gonna go into the Rosario Islands Rosario Islands so these islands are a bunch of nice little Islands right off the coast of CA and I would have to say it’s the highest uh risk but it’s the

Highest reward as far as as you know it’s kind of a hassle to get to them but if you’re looking for those crystal blue orders those good vacation Vibes you on that girl trip you want to make you want to get the IG story popping you want to

Be doing everything on the boat getting crazy going crazy pop champagne all of that this is the spot you want to do it where you can run out some Yachts you can run out some bullets with your crew um hop on them take them over to the

Island you’re going to get all of those super popping um super popping picks that you want and you’re going to get a whole good time so um would say if you’re not an experienced traveler the best way to do this is to get a tour uh

And I’ll talk a little bit more about that when I do things to do we’ll be talking about Chon which is um kind of one of the islands out there but you can also do it by yourself if you feel comfortable okay guys number three

Safety um so how does one stay safe in big back C the Han where every week a new tourist is not making it back home well look I’m GNA be honest the stories you guys send me the things I see is not the C the haa that I know I’ve never

Been to the places that you guys sent me I’m going be honest to me Columbia is one of the kindest warmest most embracing countries that I’ve been to now that’s not to say there’s no danger but I do think it’s harder for danger to find you in Colombia than you to find it

Uh there seems to be a common theme in these stories that that I see uh as far as like all this crazy stuff happened in Colombia and that’s either people are in places they shouldn’t be or with people they shouldn’t be with now I I don’t

Want to victim blame that’s not what I want to do here but I want people to know or what I want people to take away from this is K is fun but it’s not Disney World or Disneyland if you are traveling solo you should not be drinking to a point of unconsciousness

This is not safe in your own City let alone a foreign country if you are with a stranger a complete stranger you shouldn’t be going to sleep while they are in your apartment this is not safe in your own City let alone another foreign city or foreign country uh I

Think you guys get the point but I just got to drill at home I see a lot of uh a lot of these stories and and it always it’s never a a gang hopping out and throwing a a a hood over somebody head and and and holding them away it’s

Always involving the same back drugs um women um Shady characters um stuff like that alcohol and when you mix those things together no matter if you’re in Colombia or you’re in a bad part of town of your neighborhood or your city bad things going to happen so we got to kind of

Just be safe and if you could go to Cartana that means you’re an adult you got to be an adult to go to to to ca by yourself and that means you should be using your your adult senses and your adult mind to maneuver and you know just

Use common sense it goes the wrong way all right guys next up is night life and I’ll kind of skip this section I’ll just touch it real quick uh one because I think everybody knows how lit car is I try to not focus too much on NTI and car

Because it’s like you know it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s already out there why why keep uh why keep forcing it on people um number two uh I already did a whole gu on night life in in in CA so if you guys want to check that out it’s on my

YouTube page you could you could drop by and get all the tips uh that I got out there but um I would say in CA a lot of the night life is really um secluded to the the wall City if you guys haven’t been there and I think the biggest thing

I want to touch on is people are always asking me about I guess the diversity in the night life and their diversity one of the biggest tips I give in that video is to talk to the party promo that are in the streets you know the guys that

You ignore the guys you walk fast when they come try to talk to you those guys know so if you in Cartana and you’re looking for a spot to party that has a specific vibe that you want whether it be because look you could go to a spot

In CA that you know could be the most terrible night of your life as far as partying it could be a spot that doesn’t play the music you want doesn’t have the type of people you want there as far as like um if they’re dressed up if they’re

Dressed casually if they’re you know all that stuff like just talk to the people that come up to you because they could point you in another direction of clubs that only play hip-hop they could pun you in the direction of only tour of clubs that only have tourists they could

Punch you in the direction of clubs with only local um women and men all that stuff they know so talk to them guys because they will come up to you when you on the street they know you from a mile away because you’re wearing those Nikes you’re wearing those Jordans you

Wearing those Yeezys so talk to them they point the right way you can give him a single peso which is five uh sorry which is five pesos but one US dollar and it’ll be cool man so that’s night life all right guys look so next up it’s

Things to do you know it’s good it’s a good time to jump into it after we talk about night life because a lot of people miss out on experiences a lot of experiences because they so focused in they so focused in on 800m and after so

Look I’m going to give you guys three recommendations to do outside of the normal things outside you know parties the street art tour the M volcano thing a couple things that you could try out that I think you guys will enjoy so number one like I said earlier is cholon

Island this is like a super Party Island um it’s about an hour away from K Han if you love turning up great weather good drinks Good Vibes this is something you definitely got to put on your list a lot of people skip it because they get stick

Of shock when they see how much it cost and all this stuff as far as the tour because just watch watch my video you don’t want to try to go out there by yourself even though it’s possible you just don’t want to um but I give a lot

Of tips on cheaper uh accommodations and ways to get out there and tours and stuff so definitely check out your loan because the easiest way to describe it is like spring break for adults it’s just it’s just a movie just trust me all right number two guys you want to go to

Pink what is pink well it’s a city in Columbia uh it’s a couple hours from C but it’s accessible by bus it’s the first free black city in South America um it’s full of great history great Tree Art food people and it’s just a it’s

Just a great day trip you want to head out about 800 am um get there around noon walk around it’s super safe City walk around if you don’t want to tour guy just you know stop in some of the local stores um eat uh talk uh take your time and try

To see if you can find some Museum D some history um it’s a great City and it’s something to really uh something you should really add to your list cuz you know why not last but not least and this one has a a pretty good uh price

Tag on it but I thought i’ throw in there because a lot of people just don’t even know it’s an option and that’s private Island camping this is a good option for couples um even those groups groups of of of you know people who met

In college and like you of got like that uh that best man thing going on yeah y know the movie best man where it’s like different couples of different friends and Y got that Vibe where it’s like maybe five couples and you all know each

Other you all locked in I think this is a good option for the for those type of groups or maybe if you’re on a honeymoon you know you got a little budget um you this is a great alternative to go into like the Mal Dives or going to Bora Bora

This is a great alternative because it essentially offer some of the same Vibes at a much uh more I want to say cheaper but much more convenient um manner so uh so yeah this is Private Island camp and and basically what it is you guys get to

Rent out an entire Private Island pretty much small island and it really it usually has like either one accommodation um or like one big accommodation and you can you can hire chefs you could get activities on that island but it’s basically your Island your Island to be to be honest um and

These a lot of places off packages that you could do and really I see most of them started by ,000 a day so like I said it’s on a pricey end but like I said if you got a group of friends especially if it’s like like three four

Yall y all married or something everybody can throw $1 th dolls in and that’ll be four days right there if you’re in a honeymoon you know you know if you’re in a honeymoon your pockets is getting touched regardless so your five five five bands five pie is not going to

Kill you um and that’s just another option guys before I get out of here I just want to do one more um little section I guess you could call it I didn’t want to do it in the front because this is mainly for firsttime

Travelers to cut the H up um but I think if you’re an expert maybe you could gain some stuff here too but I’m just going to go on uh and talk about tips and tricks as far as arriving to car haa so car haa airport is one of my favorite

Airports why because it’s one of the one of the few airports that still let people out in the front and the back so if you’re one of those people who like to pay a little extra 15 $20 to Spirit to get in the front to get off faster

Keep your money because they will let you off the back of the plane um you know like you can see I’m in like 31 32 if you way back there you may get off before the people in the front but definitely before the people in the

Middle right so keep in mind uh C airport is a super International destination it does go zero to 100 extremely quick so you want to get to that immigration line as soon as possible don’t wait don’t play don’t take pictures outside the airport don’t talk even if you with your friend leave

Them and meet them on the line because it gets packed very quickly um and one tip on that if you were traveling with somebody who’s coming on a different plane maybe from a different state or something uh try to align it where they land maybe an hour before you or uh you

Land hour before them like for example one time I went last the last time I went with my boy I got there like 40 minutes before him so I was able to stand on the line and I just got to the front um when he when he arrived so you

Know if he would if he would have got there um maybe two hours after me he would had to wait on that line I’d have been waiting for him it would have just been a disaster so try to put that those flights maybe an hour apart you will

Thank me guys you will thank me I’m telling you um so another tip when you’re at the Columbia immigration and get in caught the Hanah just be wise with your words I seen a lot of people do this when I’m I’m hustling when I’m at the immigration spot a lot of people

I heard like using a lot of like slang and being uh being long- winded like one dude I heard him say uh the immigration officer ask him where you’re staying he’s like oh I got an apartment I got a house out here um which raised red flags to the immigration officer because

Clearly the dude is talking about he has a Airbnb apartment but he’s saying he has a house out here so that just triggered more questions and that dude that dude was in there it took him a while like I I seen him I was leaving the the uh the little the little story

That got in the airport so he was in there just getting Hammer with questions be short window with your ansers specific you know if you have an Airbnb say I have an Airbnb apartment in this neighborhood you know don’t don’t try not to be General because you will get questioned and the

Worst thing you want is to you know prolong that process or have your BS checked and and stuff like that so that’s another tip um I always give this tip in every video I do make sure to get your alcohol Boo and stuff from the airport um the airport stores the

Easiest way if you guys see my C the hand video you see I got got off some Don Julio at the corner store B boach yeah that wasn’t fun um yeah so after you get get your stuff from the store um yeah man it’s pretty it’s pretty simple

Uber Uber works and C the handers so just make sure you grab a uber um try to put cash on there they usually um they usually more sponsor to cash as opposed to having your car connected and I would say that the the C ride from the airport

To most tourist sites are about 15 minutes but yeah man that’s it man we gonna leave it here look you guys know who it is you know the face you know the name your boy check in do it on YouTube not a YouTube but hope you guys learned
