El cocuy, capital of the area but a small 5k people town, suffered from many drawbacks after the reunification and the introduction of the global market. Most of the area was living on agriculture and livestock but they couldn't compete with the global market and in 60 years the town moved from 20k people to 5k.
The place feels and looks like your small andean village with everyone wearing ponchos and hats. People are some of the most cheerful and friendly I met on this trip.Läs mer
