Two chicas and a hotel

Marzo 19 / 2019 / Dia 4

Valle Del Cócora – Espinal / Colombia

Un día lleno de lluvia, pero antes de salir un buen café, algunas fotos y compartir con Rafael y su familia.

Tomamos el rumbo a la famosa carretera de La Línea, con lluvia a 10 kilómetros por hora, momentos de mucho estrés y demasiado tráfico de tractomula, s fuimos llegando poco a poco a la cima 3287 metros a nivel del mar e iniciamos nuestro feliz descenso, con poca visibilidad por tanta neblina.

El paisaje inicio su cambio, pasamos por un lado de Ibagué una ciudad intermedia, luego encontramos un valle lleno de sembrados de arroz, trigo y muchos mangos.

Casi a las 5 pm encontramos un hotel al lado de la carretera cerca al Espinal, administrado por dos adolescentes que sus padres viven en Bogotá.

Estas niñas nos dejaron guardar el tuk tuk en un cuarto útil del hotel lleno de herramientas, enseres y basura. Twiggy quedo super seguro.

It looked like it was going to chuck it down all day and we weren’t wrong.  Before leaving time for coffee and photos of Rafael and his family. 

 We took the famous road of La Linea, uphill all the way and at times we were able to make 10 kph.  Moments of high stress usually caused by artics passing too close and too fast.  Finally we reached the top at 3287 meters and we happily began our descent which was made harder by poor visibility.

The landscape began to change, we passed through the small city of Ibagué, then the landscape was a valley full of rice, wheat and many mango trees.

At 1700 we found a hotel next to the road near Espinal, managed by two teenager girls whose parents live in Bogotá.

These girls let us keep the tuktuk in a hotel room full of tools, equipment and rubbish. Twiggy was super safe.  Super is used by Latinos a lot.
