This Dahlandia Hotel Review is based on our six-night stay on Isla Múcura, a small Caribbean island in Colombia’s San Bernardo Islands. We stayed at Dahlandia during our 3 week family trip to Colombia, and after several busy days exploring cities, beaches and jungle destinations, we were more than ready for a simple island escape.

Cartagena with Kids: Best Things to Do
Cartagena with kids is a fun and colourful stop on a family trip to Colombia, especially if you base yourself in Getsemaní. We didn’t have a lot of time in Cartagena, but we’re so glad we spent a good chunk of it here. It was easy to walk to Cartagena’s Old Town, but Getsemaní also had plenty to keep us happy close to our hotel, including street art, casual restaurants, small shops and a lively neighbourhood feel.

Lost City Hike with Kids: Our 6-Day Trek in Colombia
The Lost City Hike with kids may sound a little ambitious at first, and for good reason. Nestled high in the jungle of Colombia’s lush Sierra Nevada mountains, the Lost City, or Ciudad Perdida, is a legitimate bucket list hike for many intrepid travellers. It’s not an easy trek to Ciudad Perdida and, unlike hiking the Inca Trail with kids, there is no train or shortcut to make the journey easier.

Ladder Canyon Trail with Kids: What to Know
Hiking the Ladder Canyon Trail with kids was one of the most memorable adventures from our family trip to Palm Springs, but it was also one of the hikes we debated the most before doing.
