Day 7 & 8: Balcones

Spent the weekend at a friend's family farm.  The kids got their first taste of horseback riding on this trip, and took their first solo laps.  This is one of our favorite places in Colombia, and it was a real treat staying the night.


Half the fun of getting there is the ride.  It’s about a mile up a very steep, narrow, and bumpy road that basically goes straight up the mountain.  Click here for a GPS tracking map that I did of the trip from my parent’s house up to the farm.  Note that the last mile is a straight line that goes perpendicular to the elevation markings on the map.

Yes, that's a rooster on the motorcycle


Here are some pictures of the same farm from our trip in 2008.
