I have to admit that when I heard about the walk that Chris and I made with the Alianza Turística Valle del Cartama I was surprised. I’ve been living in Medellín for a long time, and I had never heard anyone say that they were going to visit La Pintada. According to me, La Pintada […]

Debo admitir que cuando escuché del recorrido que Chris y yo hicimos con la Alianza Turística Valle del Cartama estaba sorprendida. Hace rato que vivo en Medellín y nunca había escuchado a nadie decir que se iba a turistear a La Pintada. Según yo, La Pintada no era sino un lugar por el que uno […]

Está antigua ciudad del pueblo Tayrona en el Caribe Colombiano fue construida 800 años D.C (por lo que es unos 650 años más antigua que Machu Picchu) […]
