El Penon de Guatapé

After 5 full days in Salento, we decided to move on to the next city; Medellin. Salento doesn't have any bus terminal, it has this small kiosk that sells bus tickets with a hand-written board of what bus goes where, when and the fare. We took the earliest bus that leaves Salento and paid about 20 US...

Day 9. Bus to Medellin
We moved on to the next city, Medellin by taking a 6 hours bus ride through the zigzaging road along the mountain. This bus trip definitely was not for the weak bellies like me. I could taste the empanadas and papaya I had for bre...
