Where you see the real scenery and the rural people of the areas

Traveling on the road in Colombia definitely had its challenges, but also its rewards. The humid weather up north made it very hard in some aspects to cool down, as we got more in the mid to southern parts, the weather became a lot more pleasant, something I had not experienced in sometime traveling from Alaska thru Central America.

As we got into the mountain areas, the days were longer as some of these mountain passes were practically straight up. Protests on bridges, along with some truck problems made one of our days long and we had to camp on the side of the road near a small truck stop on the side of the mountain.

However being out of the cities made us see how rural life was with people yelling and screaming happily, seeing a truck full of gringos go by and the scenery was simply amazing- driving along the sea in the north, to humid areas, and finally up into the mountains, this is some of the best scenery to be seen in Colombia in my opinion…
