It is a beautiful area, huge green hills and a small, local town. It's a great place, not too many gringos so you actually feel like you're properly exploring the area.

We spent a 'quiet' Sunday doing what the locals do ... blowing up dynamite with a lead weight! The game is called Tejo, you throw a lead weight at a sandpit with small amounts of dynamite hidden in it, when you hit the dynamite and hear the almighty bang you get points!
Outside of Salento is the Valle de Cocora, a beautiful area with hummingbirds and amazing wax palm trees.

| In amongst the trees ... and the fog! That's what happens when you visit in rainy season. |
