Colombia went straight to our hearts. We have never met so friendly people than we did in that infamous country. There was no single problem with anything. Even police and military were nice and helpful for us. Quite a surprise. Colombians are civilized and warm hearted people. At the moment they live in a country that is more peaceful and nonviolent than it has been in many decades. The contrast between poor and rich is huge, but we met many poor families who were quite happy with their simple life. Compared to many Central-American countries, Colombia feels modern, clean and developed. Tourists are relatively new phenomenon there and they are warmly and curiously welcomed. Hopefully mass tourism will not spoil the country in the future as has happened elsewhere. Here are some random pictures from our last weeks in this lovely country.
The city center of medellin was full of Boteros fine art. Naturally as Botero is from there.
