Vamos por Colombia!
Well, there’s not much to say besides the fact that Evula and I had a TERRIFIC time in Colombia. We visited a whole bunch of places which I hadn’t seen in over 15 years, so that was pretty nice… to go back and re-visit my own country before I continue going around visiting other people’s countries (not that I’m gonna stop doing that).
Anyway, we went around half the country, travelling mostly by bus to really get a good impression of what the landscapes were all about (something you don’t get to do too well while travelling by plane).
We fell in love with the fincas in Armenia, Quindio (the coffee growing farms in the coffee producing region of Colombia), we passed by Medellin during the annual Flower Festival, we visited historical Cartagena, we saw pink flamingos in Guajira and took a deep “dive” into true Colombian-ness by attending (in Riohacha) one of the many (hundreds perhaps?) beauty pageants this beautiful country likes to organize! Of course, we also visited the Tayrona national natural park with it’s awesome beaches and back in Bogota, took a nice stroll around La Candelaria (Bogota’s old colonial quarter), visited the always imponent Gold Museum and went up to Monserrate to enjoy the nice view.
So yes, all in all, we had a WONDERFUL time, and hope to come back really soon.
