South of Bogota
After a quick stopover back in Bogota, we headed over to Zulma’s hometown of Santandercito, which coincidentally was celebrating its 70th birthday that weekend, complete with school parade and Saturday nite fiesta. We then headed back to Bogota to take off to San Augustin, one of the countries’ most important archaeological sites, with many precolombine artefacts and statues have been discovered. One the way back we stopped by the Tatacoa desert, one of Colombia’s three deserts, and Zulma’s dad’s friend Jorge Enrique in Neiva, a fine connoisseur of Aguardiente, the local poison (to which I had already been introduced).
