A Rocky Day in A Marriage

That's what I'm talking 'bout!
Took a day trip to Guatapé today. This is the type of place I expected to see while on this trip. Beeee-autiful! It's a sleepy little village near a giant rock. On the side of that rock are over 600 steps to the top which provides an amazing 360 view of ...
A large rock and living of street food
After relaxing a bit by the pool of my hostel in Medellin, 2 new friends and I headed to Guatape, a town about 2 hours away. Due to the holiday season we took about 3 hours, but it was totally worth it, as the scenery was incredible. Mountains and lakes, ...
