I have been in San Gil, Santander, COLOMBIA for about a month now. I have been volunteering, working and trying to do as many activities as possible. The Holy Week just came and went, so I decided to do some traveling while the students has the week off. First stop was Medellin, and I realized that I love that city. Next, to la zona cafetera where I wanted to get in some serious hiking. Then Santa Rosa de Cabal where I could enjoy some Hot Springs and mud baths. It was a lovely week and very enjoyable to travel with only one, small back-pack rather than the giant one plus my normal sized one. Also, I will most likely travel back to Salento when there aren´t torrential down pours for days.
Plaza Botero, Medellín. I look like I am about to pull an exorcist neck twist.
Sculptures by Botero. The one to the left was blown up and ruined during a protest gone wrong, the Paisas choose to keep it there as a reminder.
