    Your video gives us, the viewers, a real sense of place; the countryside, the character of the towns and villages, the people, their friendliness. You are so lucky to be able to experience something that few of will ever see through our own eyes on our cycling travels. Thank you for the insight into Columbia. I hope you find coffee without sugar!

    The good coffee is to expensive for most locals and exported. Therefore generally the coffee in Columbia is pretty bad.
