Jardin, Colombia
Jardin is located far away from everything.
Well, to Medellín it's only 120km, but as the bus has average speed of 40km/h it takes 3 hours (Great in math, wa?!) That is because of the bends and up and downs of the mountain chains.
In Jardin it is common to ride the horse. Like the milkman, or the farmers, or to get drunk on the weekend (yes, you get served on the horseback!) the church and the park are beautiful and everything is very well taken care of. and the mountains surrounding it are huge and covered with trees and agricultural goods, specifically
coffee, plantanos and bananas. There are many fish farms as well and happy cows.
My host in Medellín is from this village and he brought me to is parents house for two nights. So many details
I wouldn't be to write them down!
