You know how when you travel, you form an image in your mind of what a place is going to look like? That is really part of the fun, imagining how places you’ve only read about will be like in person, and then seeing (despite your best efforts not to set your hopes too high) if the image you’ve created in your mind lives up to where you actually visit.
For the final leg of this trip, I think we can say that Parque Tayrona more than exceeded anything we could have imagined while daydreaming at our desks in Philadelphia. The dramatic meeting of the Caribbean with the mountains and jungles of Colombia’s coast provides some of the most breathtakingly beautiful beach settings we’ve ever seen (and more than makes up for the stifling heat). It is one of those places that photos can’t really do justice.
We're back in Bogota now, waiting for our flight to New York. We've had an amazing couple of weeks, and still really haven't scratched the surface of all Colombia has to offer. We can't wait to come back, but for now, adios!
