Tourist Destinations in Antioquia for Bikers and Campers

 Hello friends! Today I want to talk about Critical Thinking and Media Literacy. This is very important for travelers today. The problem with social media When I want to travel to a new town in Antioquia, I first look on Instagram and TikTok. I see beautiful photos of rivers with blue water and cheap hotels. But sometimes, this information is not true. This is called fake news. For example, last month I saw a video about a "secret river" in San Rafael. The video had 100,000 likes. I went there by motorcycle, but the place was dirty and very expensive. The video was only publicity. It was not real. How to use critical thinking? Now, I am more careful.

Hello again!  In my last post, I talked about cheap camping trips. But today, I want to show you the other side of Antioquia. If you have a high budget, you can have a very luxurious and comfortable vacation. Here are my top 3 premium destinations:   1.

Glamping is glamorous camping.  You sleep in a tent, but the tent has a king-size bed, a hot jacuzzi,  and a private bathroom.
