El Cabo de la Vela

An extreme point in Colombia. It is in the department La Guajira in the north of Colombia. A desert with ocean at the same time. Extremely beautiful, but also really weird with beautiful beaches and desert at the same time. Take a look:
First we had a couple of days in Manaure.

Cooking in our improvised kitchen.









Sleeping in one of the many huts in the beach. Relaxing.

El Parque Tayrona

Okay, I guess it is time for some update after a really long time.
I just came home from this incredible nacional parc a couple of days ago. El Parque Tayrona it is called. It is huge, and has incredibly beautiful beaches and a lot of wild animals. Many years ago this space was where the indigenas lived and the beaches were/are sacred to these indigena people. There are two tribes still living there, mainly in the lost city, los Koguis and los Arhuakos.
We entered the park ilegally in the sence that we did not pay the entrance but entered through a little village. And when we arrived what we saw was amazing. I barely have words that can explain how fantastic this place is.
we spent a week inside the parc. The first 6 days we camped in the middle of nowhere. No tourists, actually nobody at all, just a few times passed a coupe of fishermen. We had brought a lot of food to cook and a lot of time passed cooking, because with fire everything takes much longer. I have never been eating so many cocos as these days, drinking the water bvecause i got diarrea from the water from the river next to the camp.
climbing enormes stones to cross from one beach to another i realized that I ight be just a little bit scared of hights, but now that I think back it was an amazing experience.
I saw sea turtles, so surreal, and i kind of got a kick out of it, and after finding the spot where they always spent the afternoon we climbed up on the rock and looked every afternoon. Wow. i also saw wild small monkeys, poisones spiders and small yellow frogs with 2 lines of black on the sides. Really unique experience.

The last day we put on the bracelets that some tourist who had left the parc had been given us, and we went to tourist part and it was aweful. Everything was extremely overprized and all these tourists have in my opinion spoiled this magical place.

But this has just been one of the best weeks on my whole trip, and I am so glad that I could share this with Gustavo and the other couple, because going here by myself would have been in the tourist part only I think. Thankful that I got the chance to expirience magical nature that still is not ruined by too much tourism.

take a look at the pictures and see for youself :

Back in La Plata for a little while

I've been back in La Plata at Gustavo's family's house for a little more than a week now. It has been really relaxing and we haven't really had anything but his teeth to worry about. All the family was here, so it was full house, but they are really nice. And then the grandma who lives next door had her 77th birthday and that was celebrated with great cake and some food for the whole family (which is basically the whole street).
Take a look:



Taking a break looking at the crazy guys juggling in the living room.


Gustavo and his mamita.




Primito Christian.


Hugs for grandma's birthday.



That is all for now !
