When you're not in a city you're probably on a farm... lots of farm land in the mountains of Colombia.
Picture
The Cocora Valle or "Valle de Cocora" as its more commonly known.
Picture
The giant Wax Palms are what draw people to the Valle de Cocora. Far from the sea and high in the mountains.

Our new amigo Felipe, a talented 22 yr old trail/mountain runner and great mountain guide.

Some other friends we made at the Finca in Parque National Los Nevados where we spend the night during a 2 day trek.

Apparently "holy week" in Colombia also signifies the beginning of the rainy season... we found out quickly.
Picture
This little perrito followed us all the way up into the high mountains for 2 days. If only I brought a bigger backpack.

Nearing 15,000' we had unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains below.

Pointing out Volcano del Ruiz (5,321m) off in the distance. The northern part of the park is closed, for good reason.
Picture
Frailejone plants covered the high country, some of them reaching 15+ ft.
Picture
Mountain farm land. Its amazing how far off the grid people live down here. This trail is more than for recreation.
