The desert with rain and other rainy parts of columbia :)

Hallo,

Somehow it seems, currently, that I cannot escape the rain for long. I deliberately chose a region now, which calls itself "Desert", thinking that at least there the precipitation should be true to its name, and thus nonexistant, but, even there I got caught in heavy rain. Fortunately I also had some hours of sun in between to wander around, but not many :)

El desierto de Tatacoa was really nice, a wonderful landscape and, as I slept at a hostel direclty in the desert, it was really very quiet during the day as well as night! So nice and peaceful, I enjoyed this very much after the loud and hectic city life of the last days.
After that I continued to "Tierradentro", an important archeological site of Columbia, with underground tumbs full of colourful paintings. It lies really remote and it was pretty straining to get there and then even more difficult to leave again. Probably due to this fact, I was the only tourist there, and also the only one wanting some food. ;) There was only one restaurant and they were more than surprised that I came along hungry. At least you can always count on "chicken" somehow. But the choices of food are very limited most of the time and sometimes I am happy to find anything at all.... ;)

I now continued to San Agustín and Popayan. I will keep you posted.

Meanwhile take a look at the pictures, if you like.

Best regards, Renate
