AMAZONAS

Hello everyone, I'm here again. Have you already decided which part of Colombia to travel? Well, if you haven't decided. Please, keep reading this post. OK, I'm going to give you some places to visit in our Amazonas, a place with a huge amount of flora and fauna, a small green world that man has not yet been able to destroy. Without more to say, let's continue.

1. MONKEY ISLAND: 

This island is 45 minutes from Leticia (Capital of Amazonas) by boat, as a tourist you can walk the paths observing and learning about the monkeys. It is allowed to feed them. There is also a lake, which can be crossed by canoe and allows you to see the landscape from another point of view.

If you decided to go, please, send me a photographs. I'll be happy to see them.

2. AMAZONIC WORLD ECOLOGICAL PARK:

The Amazonic world Ecological Park, located fifteen minutes from Leticia, is an environmental interpretation center that has collections of endemic and fruit plants from the Amazon. Here the importance of caring for the environment is highlighted. The park is ideal for families with children to visit, who have fun seeing the exotic fish in the aquarium.

3. ETHNIC MUSEUM OF AMAZONIC MAN:

This museum is a collection of objects that are representative of the people who live and have lived in this region, including: ceremonial objects, ritualistic objects, agricultural tools, and economic ones. It’s a great place to better understand the people who come from the Amazon .

Its collection of vessels, oars, bows and arrows, used in rituals, ceremonies and other tasks provide valuable information that allows us to learn about the culture of the inhabitants of the jungle. It is located in the Library of the Bank of the Republic and has various representative objects of the Ticuna, Huitoto and Yacuna indigenous groups.

4. AMAYUCA NATURAL PARK:

The Amacayacu Natural Park is the first protected area created in the Colombian Amazon region and it is the only area in the system of parks that conserves flooded forest of the Amazon River. This privileged jungle has more than 5,000 species of plants and its forests are characteristic of a region, which has the biggest diversity of primates in the world.

Boat up the Amazon River to one of its tributaries, the Amacayacu. Here, travelers can appreciate the palafitte Indian dwellings and a protected eco-system that has biological stations, river paths for excursions to look for caimans and howling monkeys, and virgin islands where you can appreciate Victoria Regia.

FIRST VIDEO!

Hi friends, sorry for the delay, this week I haven't been able to upload a new entry regarding a tourist place, but in exchange for the above, I leave a very special video. I hope you like it and keep visiting my blog.

Here'r the video:

MEDELLIN

Our next stop is Medellin, the "city of eternal spring" full of colors and awesome people. I traveled to Medellin on January for vacations and I love it. I lived a magnific experience, I felt that everyday was a great adventure and I wanted to stay more days, but for personal reason I have to return . Well, I don't want to distract you anymore, so I'm going to start showing the places I visit during my stay in Medellin. 

1.  LA PIEDRA DEL PEÑON:

Near to Medellin there is a little town called Guatapé with a giant rock as the main attraction.This rock is 220 meters high and, if you want to appreciate the beautiful views, there are 659 steps to climb. When you get to the top, there are a couple of small stores where you can buy food and reminders, but I advise you not to buy reminders there, because you can find very nice and cheap things after you go down. Below there are also restaurants with delicious and typical medellin food such as paisa tray, I recommend you taste it.

I must admit that in this adventure, I discovered my fear of heights, but still I went up every step and I could see my beautiful Antioqueno land. That was a pleasant experience for me and my family. 

BOGOTÁ

I'm going to start with our capital. Also called La Calendaria. Bogotá is a city with diversity of culture and full of life.  You can find all types of things: museums, colorful neighborhoods, bookstores,  malls, libraries, squares, cathedrals, beautiful buildings, etc. People are nice , however, today there are many problems of insecurity in the country, therefore, if you are planning to travel to Colombia, be careful.

1.  MONSERRATE:

It's a hill located in the eastern mountain range, which has been a place of religious pilgrimage since the colonial era and is a natural, religious, grastronomic attraction of the city. You can ascend to the hill by the pedestrian path, by cable car or by funicular. The climate is much colder than that of the city, for this reason you have to climb with warm clothing and why not? Have a glass of hot chocolate with bread and cheese, or maybe a rich rib broth.

2. SALT CATHEDRAL OF ZIPAQUIRÁ:

It is one of the pillars of the spiritual strength of Colombia and a religious temple built inside the salt mines of Zipaquirá. The cathedral of Sal de Zipaquirá is considered one of the most remarkable architectural and artistic achievements of Colombian architecture, for which reason it has even been awarded the title of architectural jewel of modernity.The importance of the Cathedral, lies in its value as cultural, religious and environmental heritage.

3. GUATAVITA LAGOON:

This lagoon was reputedly one of the sacred lakes of the Muiscas Indigenous and a ritual conducted there may hace been the basis for the legend of El Dorado. The lagoon is situated over an impresiv landscapes views.The legend says the lake is where the Cazigue (spiritual head of the muiscas) celebrated a ritual in which he (named also "El Dorado") was covered in gold dust before bathing in its waters. Afterward, jewerly was thrown in. A few artifacts of gold and silver found at bottom hold proof to this claim; however, to date, the trips to the bottom of the lagoon have yindelded no more than these.

4. GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ CULTURAL CENTER:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a famous Colombian writer, who with his stories has enriched literature and culture colombia. This center of culture is dedicated to him and his work.

The two main services of this Cultural Center are bookshop and art gallery; the first is connected to the outside by large windows and has a capacity for 50,000 books, on the other hand, the gallery with more than 216 square meters is made to locate in it the works of national and international artists.

Among the services offered include covered parking, a bank branch, a restaurant, a bookshop and a record store.

5. GOLD MUSEUM: 

This museum has more than 34,000 pieces of gold, 20,000 lithic objects, ceramics, precious stones, and textiles belonging to the Quimbaya, Calima, Tayrona, Sinú, Muisca, Tolima, Tumaco and Magdalena cultures, among others. It has the largest pre-Hispanic goldsmith collection in the world, with approximately thirty-four thousand pieces of gold and tumbaga, 1 about twenty-five thousand objects in ceramics, stone, shell, bone and textiles.
