A long bus ride and I ended up in Tunja. With no more buses going to my destination I had to find a hotel (for cheap) and managed to after a few tries. The next morning to my surprise the hotel staff ( a family) told me that there would be a Palm Sunday procession through the town that morning. I went to take pictures and saw the procession of various Catholic costumes that are a bit frightening being from the US. There were military and youth marching bands playing Simon and Garfunkle's song Sound of Silence.

It was great to see another Semana Santa procession and witness the smaller town traditions that are so popular in the interior of Colombia.Les mer

10. april 2017, Colombia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Not so far from Bogota is a smaller colonial town that is quite popular with tourists. I thought I'd check it out and besides I could camp there for cheap. The large plaza, white houses, and cobble stone streets of the other colonial towns I had been too were also here. It was a very pretty town with large mountains towering over. I wondered the streets and sat drinking tinto in small cafes.

I was lucky there was a cultural week in progress at the San Francisco monastery. Two nights in a row I went to see live music the first night classical music and the second traditional Colombian music. I also watched a German film in a local theater that was free too.

It was a nice relaxing town with not a whole lot going on which is what I needed before heading on to Bogota.Les mer

Bogota, Colombia
12. april 2017, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Bogotá is the capital of Colombia known as being cold and massive it truly lives up to that name. I was lucky enough to have a great Couchsurfer, Jorge, who gave me some good tips and was a photographer who had his own darkroom.

As it was Semana Santa (Holy Week) the city felt pretty empty , but still many people where in the city center visiting the churches and walking inn the parks.

I got 13 rolls of film developed by a man named Efraim who did and excellent job. I was able to try some of BBC (Bogota Beer Company) craft beers and get out of town into the nature on good Friday when everyone climbs the mountain just outside Bogota to the monastery that sits at the top.Les mer

Leticia, Colombia
15. april 2017, Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Leticia sits on the middle of the Amazon along the river and borders Peru and Brazil. It's not super big but is definitely a town and has some great parks, views of the river, tours to the Amazon and the place id start my River journey down the Amazon.

I stayed at a hostel that a friend of mine worked at. We had met on Ecuador so it was nice to see a familiar face and hangout in Leticia with new friends.

I originally only planned to stay one night but since no one knew the schedule for the boat down the Amazon and it was Easter I ended up staying two extra nights which was fine by me as Leticia was cozy, the hostel had a pool and I was in good company.Les mer

Tabatinga, Brazil
16. april 2017, Brasil ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Since Leticia is on the border of Brazil I was able to walk into the small Brazilian town of Tabatinga. I went with a Brazilian friend from my hostel and surprisingly I could understand a bit of Portuguese. Normally US citizens need to pay for a visa to enter Brazil but on the border you don't need one. It's kind of like the honor system and they even have signs that remind you that you need to come back.

We walked into the "town" to buy me a hammock, bug net and some Brazilian chocolate for my friends back at the hostel. Also bought a liter of Açai juice which comes from the Amazon and has a lot of energy.

It was fun to go into Brazil without the visa because next time I enter I'll need to pay $160 :(Les mer

Iquitos, Peru
20. april 2017, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
After 2 1/2 days on a boat I arrived in the jungle city of Iquitos. The worlds largest city accessible only by water or air. I was surprised by how big it was and how you really couldn't tell you were in the middle of the Amazon. With 30,000 Moto-taxis and very few cars the city is buzzing with life. I stayed with a Couchsurfer from Colombia and got to go out for exotic Amazon cocktails and go to see a Peruvian movie on the theater. Iquitos also has a wonderful barrio called Belen known for its market and the fat that half of the year it's partially underwater making it only accessible by boat and small wooden walkways. The Venice of the Amazon. I enjoyed walking around the streets, the parks and getting my beard trimmed for the price of one song on Harmonica.Les mer

Tarapoto, Perú
30. april 2017, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
After many days in the Amazon traveling within the jungle and along the river I finally made it to where the road starts. In Yurimaguas I caught a car to Tarapoto where I spent a few days with a great Couchsurfer Fernando and his family.

I was able to go to Sauce a beautiful little lake and try out the mud spa as well as another town called Lamas home to a castle and the Wayku people.

I'm the evenings Fernando showed me around town on motorcycle and I even met a random old Peruvian couple whose daughter lives in Minnesota and the señor fought along side Che in Cuba.Les mer

A lovely colonial town that technically is in the Jungle. It was cold and I nice change of weather from the actual jungle. Besides the lovely town it's close to two great sites. First is Kuelap a huge complex made by the Chachapoyas culture and Gocta a large waterfall (3rd or 5th largest in the world it's up for debate).Les mer

Back to the sierras and the 10 gallon hats! Cajamarca is a larger Sierra town with a plethora of old churches, the room what the Incan emperor was killed , and quite the Guinea pig market. I got to go to some Incan thermal baths and climb around some cliffs looking for ancient petroglyphs.Les mer
