They are also very steep. Most people in town travel by motorcycle or by jeep. Whenever I need to go to another town, I take the bus. The bus system is very extensive in Colombia. Most people take the bus when they travel, rather than driving themselves. I appreciate it since I am not allowed to drive, so it makes travelling a lot easier!
On one of my hikes this week, we passed a house next to an overlook of the entire valley. To get a better look, we climbed towards the house. It turns out that no one lives there anymore, so we were able to go further in and see a beautiful view!
Next week I’ll be travelling through the department (similar to a state) of Santander. I’ll be going to San Gil, known as the adventure sports capital of Colombia, Barichara, a beautiful colonial town, and Bucaramanga, a larger city known for its parks. I’m excited to explore a new area and spend some time in nature!
