Trips
Colombia - Santa Marta
10/13/2024
: After our trip to the mountains, the next place to visit was the swampy east coast near Venezuela. Of course, it can never be easy, and the cash machine was out of order in the supermarket.
We figured out the cash situation in the nearby shopping mall, and we continued on to the swamps near Camarones. After a long drive, we arrived in a mosquito-filled dry forest and scrubland full of all kinds of birds.
10/14/2024
: We were up early at the crack of dawn to explore the swamps
