Leaving Salento

Today we left Salento to head to Bogota! This route is often travelled by bus, taking 9 or 10 hours but were sick of buses by now so opted for the more luxury route!

We were able to relax at our hostel this morning and then take the midday bus from Salento to Pereira (one hour) before jumping in a 15 minute taxi to the airport. Here we picked up some fast food as we waited for our £22 (including checked luggage!), 45 minute flight to Bogota. As we waited the rain absolutely hammered down with thunder, lightning and fog all around. Our flight ended up being delayed by more than an hour but eventually we were onboard our Avianca flight!Read more
