I crossed the border to Colombia, went to the city of Popayan and then on to a village called San Augustin, which is surrounded by beautiful landscape with lush green vegetation. There are many tombs with statues in the surrounding, which you can visit on horseback. I went on to a village called Villa de Leyva, once more cobblestoned streets and white buildings, they were filming a historic telenovela on the main square when we were there - quite interesting to watch, as many people in town were dressed up in custumes and added to the colonial flair of the town, you really felt like 300 years back in time when the spanish were buzzing around, conquering places.... We did a bicycle-tour, bumping through the town first and exploring the countryside later on. We also did some hikes to see some waterfalls, rivers and cascades.
