Puente de Boyaca COLOMBIA

It wasn't enough to be taken care of at Joanna's house and taking the time of a friend, so all of Joanna's family took time over the weekend to take me to the suburbs of Bogota. Thanks to this, I was able to go to the destinations that the locals go to, and I was able to travel comfortably in my own car without cost.
I got up from 6 am and the whole family was busy preparing for a weekend outing.In fact, I only knew I was going to play without knowing where I was going, but what matters where is what, and who is with whom is important!
Whatever Let's Kou

The weather is amazing from the morning.As it was clear, I drove with a feeling of being clear to my heart.




"Puente de Boyaca"

The first place I went to was Fuente de Boca.This is the Boyaka Bridge.
It is a very significant historical place in Colombia, where the last war between Colombia and Spain was fought Many people died, but in the end this war led Colombia to independence from Spain.

This is the Boyaka Bridge. 

There were statues and names of many independent heroes here,The flags of the countries that led the independence led by those independent heroes were also changed. 
It was unknown, but now Panama was previously Colombia, but it is said that Panama became independent.I didn't even know the truth.Feeling the ignorance of history and world knowledge;

A statue of General Bolivar, an independent hero of South America, is on a hill.
I was going up the hill to see this, but I felt my fat body properly.

"Raquira"
The second place I went to was the Pottery Village, Laquia.The village itself is very small, but like an art village, the color is very bright.

Color reduction

Maybe it's a weekend, and the people here were also huge.It seems to be more popular with locals than tourists.

Like a pottery village, there were many souvenirs made of ceramics in the souvenir shop, and the price was very cheap. I didn't buy it, but I followed Joanna's mother and watched a lot of fun.

There were a lot of hammocks in particular, but I really wanted to buy them so much.If it had been the end of the trip, I would have bought all the hammocks, chairs and pretty interior accessories.This neighborhood is dangerous. 

We shopped and explored the neighborhood, so we all ate lunch together at lunch time. 
Colombia has so many advantages, but the biggest advantage for travelers like me is that the food is very cheap.The quality was not at all cheap because it was cheap, but the food price was really cheap compared to the quality compared to other South American countries.Thanks to that, I was able to eat a lot of delicious food without hesitation.For example, those two dishes on top cost about 5 $.








 "Villa de Leyva"
The last place I visited, Raina vs. Leiva.If I had already known this place, I would have planned a trip to get there.Personally, I really like a place that is clean, quiet, and has everything that will be there, but this is the case.It felt like Antigua in Guatemala and Sucre in Bolivia, and there were pretty shops and stylish cafes and restaurants all over the town. 
Oh, it was a great place to spend time like Hanyang. I really recommend this place.I really hope you stay here.

After lunch, we went right there and came here for a cup of coffee! 

The lovely Joanna's family.How smart his younger brother was; 

I ordered affogato, but it was really bad. The coffee was soft and tasteless like a lungo, not espresso. Joanna's father asked if it was delicious, and he told me that it wasn't, as it was, and we talked about Colombian coffee for a long time.
In Korea, coffee with a relatively steamy and bitter taste is preferred, but the coffee I drank in Colombia was generally very soft.Colombian coffee quality is really good, but I said that it was a bit disappointing to my Korean taste.
Then my father said that Colombians like soft coffee and that all the quality coffee (beans) produced in Colombia is exported.It turned out that even when I was working at a Guatemalan café, I remember that all of the good quality coffee was exported, and in Guatemala, I drink less coffee than that.


Anyway, the story of coffee, my travels in the past, the remaining travels in Colombia, etc.Even Joanna, who believed she would improve my Spanish skills, spoke to me in Spanish, and I was sweating- 

A square in the center of town.So wide and beautiful 

The family looks exhausted,

Asian tourists are excited haha

The last trip to this place that started in the morning is over.Thanks to that, I was able to go to places I never knew, and most of all, I had a good time comfortably.Because of the guests from the other side of the world, I was really grateful that everyone returned their time and gave me such good memories.I told Joanna and to Joanna's parents that I would like Joanna to come to Korea, and I promised to give me the same good memories.
After the perfect weekend, the next day we shared a hearty goodbye and returned to our respective seats.I'm back on the road, my friend back to my routine

Muchas gracias mi amiga.Esta fue muy bueno tiempo contigo y con tu familia. Yo quiero que tu visita mi pais! Adios!
