Day 360 - Santa Bárbara

Soon we reached the city of Pereira, where we visited the Zoo. We particularly liked the Tiger family with the three playful young puppies.

Then our journey continued up and down through this unique coffee-growing landscape with endless curves passing La Virginia and Anserma. In Santa Bárbara, we camped in the parking lot of a SENA vocational school.

We had purchased bananas and pineapples on the way. On today’s route, we were constantly on a descent. Our engine cut out twice because the pressure in the fuel tank became too high, overwhelming the fuel pump.

Strangely, we never experienced that before. Perhaps the pressure relief valve is blocked or has gone bad. Maybe we will be driving with the tank lid off tomorrow.
