Or at least that was our idea, let's go Capurgana, on the border and from there quickly to Panama ... but of course, must be borne in mind that we Colombia, where conflict and the forests are bent on obstructing the traveler at every turn, and as we step in Leticia, Colombian Amazon, now would be the Darien jungle that stood in our way ...
a sensitive area, dominated by all parties in dispute in this absurd and painful war that had been punished for Colombia many years and who now say Uribe's supporters, this rather more calm, and the truth is that it looks, chewing police control at every turn, with laces, military on every corner, but in the end, at least the tourist, you leave something in peace and do not give you any problems ...
Well the fact is that had first come to Capurgana from Cartagena, with a bus 8 hours to Monteria and there a kind of 4x4 Turbo take us to where a boat would be captured to finally get half destination path .... and was there in the back of the 4x4 was discovered at 10 pm and a dark gravel road through the jungle when you say "Ostia, and if we stop now that ??"... but not only the guerrillas, the paramilitaries are even more fucked up, and could happen at any time, in fact happen, but we are free ...
Capurgana is a small corner in the middle of all that green, a forest as lush as the Amazon, but that having him beside the sea was perhaps a roll, Congo or something, more African than anything else, and people, Caribbean to the core, that bllenato playing mixed with reggaeton and beers, caring for his corner in the middle of nowhere and making you closure a little more difficult for prices ... that if, as we said is a paradise, full of roads that go through the brush, small waterfalls, wild mangoes, jungle life go ...
Alli met Eduardo, Yolanda and her little 4 year old, Juan David, with whom he spent the rest of the day and Ruben and Javier, two very nice English and Bob and Thomas, two other English with those who did ghetto and spent some great days of dinner in the camp, drinking rum medellin and lots of laughs ....
But had to get out of there somehow, and the plane sounded like the cheapest option and therefore better ...... clear that regardless of which Xavier is the captain of the ship, and has a sailboat that does the same route but at sea .... ale hop!
.... and put in our hands an offer we could not refuse, 5 day journey through the archipelago of San Blas, consisting of almost 400 islands, cays and ruled by the Kuna Indians, indigenous Panamanians who remain free and independence of its own flag that FLIP when we saw, Spain flag with a swastika centroooooooo! look scary! but hey according to the traditional symbol is to explain the Indians from us a few thousand years before Christ and the flag of Spain because he joined the English during colonization, for notice that at that particular site, they seem to try a little better than the rest ....
So thanks to Javier and with Yoli, Edward, the boy and Kas, an Israeli who joined the group spent some unforgettable days , Sailing between islands as paradise, where sometimes there was only one palm ... living with the Indians, fishing, even a shark !!!!! and eating and drinking loooong! in these desktops, and those talks as interesting Twila aft ...
But all good things come to an end, and land was already playing with a new stamp in the passport, we have Panama, Central America awaits us who knows for how long and where that little pain will end ... leaving South America, have been too many experiences that are recorded forever, and Colombia has been the culmination of the best 5 months of our lives ... but as they say ... The best is yet venirr! I
menoss we miss!!
