Taganga: The Quaint Colombian Fishing Village

June 26th 2008

After my 5 hour bus ride, I had my first glimpse of Taganga from the taxi. Set back in a deep cove, the town is isolated from behind with mountains. This came as a big surprise. The village itself is about 10 blocks and only 2 roads are paved. I am staying at Casa De Felipe, by far the best hostel I have stayed in recently. Satellite DirectTV, flat screen, high-speed WIFI, clean, lots of information, and only $7USD per night.

I spent the rest of the day walking around the little village admiring the beach, watching people, kicking a soccer ball with some locals, eating dinner, and watching the beautiful sunset. I organized my diving for tomorrow and I start at 8AM sharp.

I plan to stay here for 4 or 5 days. I am happy with this beginning to the end........A wise and well traveled friend of mine told me that when I find somewhere I like, stay there!
