So Unexpected Colombia's Adventure Capital - San Gil Streets Tour
huh something like that three what's going on guys we're here in San Gil um there's a town like three hours away from Bucaramanga and we're getting out of the buses we took this bus right here she's giving us directions to the hotel where you need to go what we got on this uh this town right here we're just going to our hotel real quick and from there we're going to get situated but we're actually going to that hotel right there so first looks at things they got uh I don't know what that is this is actually like a goat or what is that oh that's um chicken or duck or something city it looks like a very interesting city oh kind of old to me let's see if this taxi can bring us where we need to go see that was all right guys colombia that's our welcome into the city when you're in Bucaramanga all you got to do is just ask for a bus that'll bring you to sandhill apparently a bus lease every 30 minutes and yeah and there's other there's a couple option when you catch the bus one of the options is a smaller van type bus and then we just went with a larger more comfortable bus so it was like like I said 27000 pesos I think that's under 10 dollars you think of the drive oh oh you want to bring it up you want to remind me you got to let them know oh man the drive was uh painful for me I don't know about because I didn't eat or anything but you reach you're going to go up like some huge altitudes and like so i was getting real nauseous and and the road kept whining up and down and you know you're gonna it's beautiful if you prepare for it because you're gonna see some of the most amazing landscapes in the in the country coming here but your stomach is just gonna go crazy so this thing looks like a play playground or something all right I have no problem just showing you the whole thing while we pick here um we pick here because we looked at all the other hotels available they had hostels that were cheaper and everything but we were like you know what this one looked the most modern out of everything available right they have uh hotels that look like farms and those are cool but this one's dead center in the city not too far away from where we got dropped off and i think that's cool and we paid this guy out like an equivalent of a dollar 20 50 to get in here all right all right he wants to be king arthur all right dude you're already able to start off with the king off there all right ain't working all right this area is just known for its being one of the most adventurous places you can come to in colombia and that's why we're here so i'm gonna give you an idea what i'm looking for doing to doing so you got this right here and this right here of course i want to do some of this and uh we did this already and so i'm super excited but there's some other stuff that we probably can do you know and then check this out they have this already set up for us to get as excited about uh doing the rafting so i'm super stoked about that all right oh more people coming let me get ready to book in all right guys so we got checked in so she's bringing us to it where we're supposed to be but so far interesting place uh here we go this is a resort and uh paid around like like 28 or something 90 000 pesos a day to stay here there's a little water area running through oh there's a pool on that end nice view of the the town from here from this angle the town looks huge there's also like a sign over there like a hollywood sign type style on that end huge hills they put the players on the first the sixth floor okay somebody's jamming okay so this is I guess my room all right got a little balcony over here all right uh-huh okay and I got a little extra for no reason but uh nice tv uh yeah okay we have it and uh we'll check from this dude later okay okay all right thank you all right so so basically she was just telling me about uh how to call reception and you know obviously the things we know about remotes all right they have uh towels here for the pool all right this is nice okay nice little view you know and it goes higher but i'm not gonna complain uh this is their standard room okay do i need a bigger room not really this need an area for my laptop uh oh chairs look chairs there matter of fact i could this could be my working area here yeah it's uh get to work right here for the computer yes sturdy i might be here i booked for two days i might stay the weekend because i'm comfortable that's how easy it is with me all right we'll be back i know my boy he likes to check his hotel room first and then we you know we're gonna check him out when he's settling all right yo one thing i forgot to show you guys is this all right the bathroom if you're wondering how the bathroom looks this is interesting i mean it's a resort and it has its own style and everything look at this it's like a tinted because the sun's gonna come in but uh yeah i like it i like it the smell is not dingy at all there is no smell bad about this place and if you needed some fresh air obviously that what saucer sauce your problem oh let's check the bed out you know since i got three beds here you know what i mean so try to sleep in every bed per day okay all right all right uh okay okay okay uh-huh 30. wait for 90 000 pesos I'll put that in the description how much it cost all right interesting enough I bought I didn't book online I just came here right my boy he booked online we looked at everything he just booked online and um I said all right I just uh get a room when we get here and uh, sure enough, there were rooms here so that's a gamble and um cool and matter of fact guys it has a curtain here so just in case you're like hey man it's too bright up in here but just in case you forgot where you're at they put that there all right I think we got it all right yo i'm just looking at uh what i can see from this viewpoint you see some other rooms i'm super nosy uh looks like over there was a hotel that uh shut down it's a nice little lake here i think this hotel is supposed to be like very adventurous give you that feel but you can tell that it's kind of old and look you can walk down this area i guess but it's i guess something to do if you're in the neighborhood floor is kind of wet because i guess people just came from the pool it's right here it's like a like a quick little cafe area maybe oh okay you get your drinks here you can get yourself lit all right this is like a little tree spot for our guests to i guess do some viewing of the lake hold up all right let's see so yeah nice little area right here just to hang on and check out the humongous parrots those things are huge guys my camera is not giving you a just look at this place and needless to say i mean if you wanted to invest in this place you probably not have to pay too much you know i mean so but it's a nice little area i guess as you when this place is thriving it's it's a good place to be so they're working on this and uh wondering what that might be like a place to watch some theater this is a little area right here to sit down and eat and put it in your order and then that's your pool look i got little jets on the chairs where you can relax and enjoy so check this out guys they have peacocks and he walking fast cause you know i'm behind him check it out he think he's slick he think he's slick hold on we're gonna try to get it for you gotta get him hey yeah you tryna he tried to do it real quick how are you where are you from colombia oh okay manga beautiful so he just got his plate right here for 25 000 pesos yep 25 000 pesos guys uh it looks good to me hamburger i ordered is 20 000 peso with additional um orange juice which was 6 000 pencils all right this hamburger is a special it has some looks like it has some chicken in there as well two different types of cheese bacon and like onion rings so not bad not bad all right guys so now we're gonna do a tour of the city uh we're gonna go to another popular hotel what's a hostel it's called sam's vip it's around the corner somewhere here and i thought you know what might as well show you guys around town this is actually a river that people use to uh uh go white while the rafting i forgot the name of it ponte rio ponte yeah so you when you come out here there's going to be so many different packages when it comes to white water rafting and so rio ponce is i think the one that goes the slowest my plan is to go on there a tough one i think it's called suavez or something so we're gonna check that one out but we're in town now man all right you can see all these tour buses um because this town really i guess gets a lot of money from tourism here like i mentioned this is supposed to be one of the adventure capitals of columbia so we've got to find out how true is that i feel like this is downtown huh i mean it's old the sidewalks are different no they don't no upkeep it has its own little it has its own little thing its own little style i want to compare it to like when i went to sapa north vietnam town set up like this but it was colder she little town square guys I guess so you can hang out and then enjoy the scenery let's go inside let's check this thing out all right because we are here that's one thing about parks you can guarantee on parks when you come to South America they're going to be full a lot of people like to hang out by the park um and relax sometimes they have wi-fi so it's a plus to this enjoy it's good shade uh if you're out shopping it's a thing people like to do you know to stop for a second and uh reflect and find your time so that's one thing about the park that people enjoy doing all right I think my boy figured out where we're going but interesting enough guys I keep seeing major banks here so I saw banco Colombia here I see a bbva here uh there are ATMs here so if you're wondering how we get in this way okay we got a buzzer like a bank there there's no door here oh this is general notato because she might as well she's giving us how to get in it ain't opening up though oh it's empty there when you look upstairs it looks like there's something there so it's a story for a lot of households when I was in Cartagena they had is a huge hostel but they had closed one side of the building see hello how are you it's your boy ace we trying to see what's VIP since that place is closed we're gonna just go walking around and see what we can but there's another atm here I like to use that one the green one because you can pull out a lot more cash all at one time so you don't have to do multiple transactions okay it feels like a tourist town though yeah but there's no tourism well no no foreign tourism I don't see them, but in every land country there's a place like this I swear in Mexico i swear but oh that's a bush oh right oh yeah that's the bar we need to go to there huh that's the church that's also maine uh tourism see that church right there from what i looked up all right let's uh let's go check it out real quick this is one of the tourist destinations here in town in the same park area all right so i i mean pictures i'm not one for selfies but just in case you come out here it's here all right it's not too far from where we at we didn't have to walk too far want to throw a quarter in the fountain man no i'm good you're good man you make your own luck make your luck wait let me yeah let me uh if i had quarters you got quarters for you all right let's throw the 100 in there all right this is gonna be for the subscribers all right we're gonna throw it in there this is gonna be for you to make it here or you get a passport okay because some of y'all even got no passport i don't know what what's going on with y'all y'all y'all been uh hesitating get it now so you get when it's time to travel you can take off this is a huge treat by the way wow it's huge check out his bark man these birds what's going on with birds bird bath okay check this out huge look at this tree man you can tell this thing's been here for gotta be at least a hundred years eat probably even more all right guys check this out this is for you all right you all right you ready all right go ahead um you can make your own wiz my wish is that you get your passport you start traveling to random cities and towns like this to man just enjoy your life yo all right let me make sure all right all right oh well you was expecting an epic throw or something i nearly ought to see it all right yo what's the name of the hostel the mansion hostel i think i saw this yeah let's go let's check it out say water drink wine sounds good eat here happiness is not a destination it's a way of life that's a good saying all right so this is how it looks here guys so pretty much these are your different hostel rooms and i can tell you right now i am super straight i don't need any room here um but this is kind of cool and the room's probably real cheap to stay here all right this is for your budget travelers and i don't want you to say i'm good i'm good i understand i understand i understand don't knock it till you try it i've tried it plenty of times and i can tell you you can find yourself some good um energy coming from being at one of these places so just putting it out there so guys guess what we end up inadvertently found the people who run that other hustle so they said that one is close because of the whole situation what's happening in the world and so you would end up staying here all right make sure you talk to the staff before you come out here all right okay grab some more russians look he's getting nostalgic let's get out of here all right my boy wants to get a quick drink all right you want to get a little quick taste of the nightlife area here oh I like the nightlife area already is to get a drink now later let's get started one drink one drink we got here we got a small little drink so we're back on the strip uh just a couple minutes at the bar just hanging out trying to figure out what nightlife is here they have their little uh curfew here too which is around 10 o'clock needless to say if you are coming here uh plan ahead go out early if you want to enjoy the night that way you can feel like you did something at night or get yourself something uh something to drink and uh you'll be good I think we found an internet cafe maybe I don't know to keep saying the second floor just find out what the speeds they have here because the hotel I'm at it speeds ain't really good for uploading 4k content so let's find out the internet hola hello all right so that's the answer right there it's the internet but it's not fast I'm not surprised that the internet is not really good here it is a town I was hoping it would be different it might be a good option here but I don't know how I'm going to find that but uh yeah it is what it is beautiful town though I'll give you that uh we end up like going to a couple of cafes spots my boy went shopping hooking stuff up you don't know the man he's a traveling YouTuber well he's he just got started but he already has a couple videos how many videos got like I don't know maybe like for traveling videos maybe 20 two minute videos okay something like that. so go check out his content. we're actually walking back um to the hotel from a different spot and
coming across this dope bridge right here seems very interesting so I thought I'd show it to you and one thing i noticed about this bridge is check it out people come and lock their locks up here it's something that they do check it out look it's all over here and all over here so it might be a cool place to get um a collected with the customs i'm sure a lot of these are from hostile rules people left and they put it on uh just uh just something cool to do man yo that's kind of dope and you got of course you got the water man hopefully tomorrow we go and we're going to be doing something like this this looks crazy though but where we're supposed to be going is supposed to be even crazier so fingers crossed as we're gonna go do some white water rafting tomorrow if not tomorrow sometime this week all right first impressions of the city thus far loving the energy here people seem cool um tourist friendly it's kind of cheap your thoughts yeah it's kind of cheap um it's definitely off the path off the beaten path not just looking at this whole yeah i mean it's got the nature it's got the river it's got uh some uh dynamic views actually i didn't see that uh sign up there you know oh he went look he wants to flex with the oh here we go here you go you want me to get an apple everything so at the end of the bridge you end up walking into a mall, like literally you can walk right into the mall right here so let's check it out see what we can find here I love sandhill not bad at all right on the other end of the mall there's actually a little quick lounge area food area right here so I'm hearing some reggae music coming from here some Bob Marley you got your cafe Juan Valdez it's just a chill spot more banks as I mentioned before needless to say this is a cool area if you want to hang out to come to and I got people over there looking at me crazy because they probably never heard English in a long time it's crazy this is all good though all right guys so this is their suite right here it's going for 000 pesos I'm actually checking out these videos might be in this or random order but guys this is she's a very interesting woman okay i'm telling you right now let's go let's go if that tells you the story about the lady that crushed the cans that's her so she remembers me oh they do they think we're a couple i don't know are we what's up man it's your boy this is h live i'm here you know what i'm saying letting down laying down the tracks keep calling me krs-1 you know new generation out here here with snow buddy chilling right here doing our thing about to get some alcohol inside here you know what i'm saying that's how i go down 305 represent we're here baby ah we are the best couple all three of us yes the war barrier nice goes up to another foreigner right in front of us same thing big knife and he looks at us in the eyes like get out of here you're next i think he's giving us a warning yeah oh we're talking about food come on let's get stolen all the time it doesn't really count no it does count because i had some chicken in the freezer and i clearly marked that much this is how it looks right here super huge got the tv there this and this one's on the second floor but there's another one on further floors i went to one up on the top floor it was facing another the outside the front angle the views was okay um the landscape was set up differently so i'm guessing each room was going to be set up in a different way but this one was super dope it has a urinal toilet right here just a lot of room man then you shower that's a nice shower right there the jacuzzi of course and then you know you open the window up and just just have that energy there and then of course the balcony now if this room was if they have rooms like this further up perfect but this is a lot of room so just in case you're traveling and you want to upgrade you're going to cut your couple and just want to enjoy your time i feel like this room was a really good deal for the price but check out that backdrop all right uh you can't see the river that much can you see the river actually yeah you can see the river right through there so i mean it's good it's not it's not a bad deal yeah see the river right there not a bad deal guys all right one thing that happened while i was here that was amazing is they also have this restaurant and they have a movie theater all right i think those are under construction now but when you show up might be available but we did go check out the restaurant it was like a night out of partying a couple of things i forgot to mention they also have a spa here uh nail salon hair salon movie theater and they have a restaurant formal and informal but there was also a area that was secretive it was kind of crazy because we came here on a saturday and currently there's a curfew here in the city so i went to a local bar and then from that bar i came back here after the curfew and the pool was packed with people saturday right and then i met some people from the hotel and then we end up going to a secret location in the same building here it was like a restaurant or something i've never seen it before but it was packed with people in there drinking enjoying their time it was like yeah you know good good feel good energy so um i got some footage if you were watching my ig you saw that we'd like to do more live streams on ig but anyway so check out this footage it was really cool thank you wow hey hmm this you he came back with it uh you
