Day 360 - Santa Bárbara

Soon we reached the city of Pereira, where we visited the Zoo. The Tiger family with the three playful young puppies was the absolute hit.

Then our journey continued up and down through this unique coffee-growing region with endless curves, passing the towns of La Virginia and Anserma. In Santa Bárbara, we were permitted to camp in the parking area of a SENA vocational school.

We had purchased bananas and pineapples on the way. On today’s route, we were constantly descending, and our engine cut out twice because the fuel tank pressure was overwhelming the fuel pump.

Strangely, we had never experienced that before. The pressure relief valve may be blocked or defective. Maybe we will have to drive with the tank lid off tomorrow.
