No Snow in Colombia

We took off from one beach to had to another, a small fishing village tucked away in a bay just outside of one of the major cities on the coast. The village of Taganga is small and quant with beautiful beaches around every corner and surrounded by semi-arrid mountains. An easy climb up the mountains gave the perfect persepctive to pinpoint a small beach all to our own. The heat blistered so intensely on the rocky mountains that the smell of sauna filled the air. Lizards and snakes scurried out of our way as we made our way down to the water to escape the heat. We swam in the sea for as long as possible before the sun took its tole on us and it was time to leave.

Our next adventure began with jumping on the back of a pickup truck and hanging on for our dear lives with 20 others as we made our way up into the jungleous mountains for a few days to escape the sun and take in some new scenery. There was not much to do in the tiny town of Minca so that´s exactly what we did. The mountain looked back on a beautiful view of the city of Santa Mart miles away on the coast, which is where we headed to next before it was time to bid adios to this great country. Colombia was an unscheduled stop in our journey that we are definitely glad we made.
