Days 311 – 317: Bogota to Villa de Leyva and the Terracotta House

We spent our last few days in Bogotá with some low-key exploring of the beautiful city and getting spoilt with Colombian hospitality in the form of another delicious lunch, courtesy of our host’s wonderful relatives. On Monday, June 4, we left the capital and headed towards Sachica, our stop for the next two nights. Sachica is […]

Days 301 – 309: Good food and mountain tops in Bogotá

The rest of our week was pretty low-key. We spent most of our second Wednesday in Bogotá searching in vain for a place that would insure our bike.

Day 19: Sustainable Living and Fiesta Food

Our first morning in Banámichi started with a hearty breakfast consisting of fresh fruits (mangoes, cantaloupes, and watermelons), scrambled eggs, beans, flour tortillas, orange juice, coffee, and tea. We did a bit of work post-breakfast and then our host, Tom, took us to the home of a couple, Stevan and Lucia, who are committed to sustainable […]
