AND COLOMBIA.
By: Néstor Meléndez
When you travel you have many ways to better
know and understand the city or place you are visiting. Usually, people has
some options to do this, one of them is the traditional tour, you do it with
some other tourists, and you have to go following a tour conductor that gives
you general description of the places you are visiting.
The stops or breaks are predetermined, and you
have to deal with hanging out with people, that the only thing they have in
common, is that they are tourists. Usually, this tours are in budget, but they are not cheap,
and for some people can be boring, or they just don’t like them.
The other option is to take a personal tour,
but it is an expensive option.
You can also study the location you will visit,
and read the brochures, reviews and other literature and then adventure
yourself into a city or place you don’t know, with no local look at the
touristic attractions, or even get lost in a dangerous place.
Now, all that is changing. With the mobile
revolution and the gps features inserted in all of them, a new way of
travelling is now flourishing all over the world. The GPS triggered audio-tours
is changing the tourism industry and is giving the travelers a new option to

of their time and can do them, in a more private way. They can download the

give you the insights of the location you are at the precise instant you get
