    En route to Medellin

    November 9 in Colombia ☀️ 36 °C

    We leave Hacienda Combia and drive on to Pereira, skirting the town. After a coffee stop, we carry on and enter Baja del Cauca Department after crossing the River Cauca (the second largest river in Colombia), which we drive next to for a time before having a lunch break at the Mirador del Cauca.

    After entering a long tunnel, only 4 years old, passing through the mountains and crossing the River Cauca again, we enter the Department of Antioquia. There are more tunnels, including one of the longest in Colombia, and great views as we drive nearer to Medellin. We eventually reach the outskirts of Medellin.    Read more
