CITARÁ CLIFFS

Thanks for reading again, I have not stop traveling arround Colombia and for this new post, I find out some photos of my most recent trip in the southwestern of Antioquia (state) in Colombia, also, de department of the very city known as Medellín. In this trip, I travel from this city about 160km.  In time, takes about 3 hours’ drive this distance because the hard ways of this country, remember that three arms of the Andes Mountains cross this land, and this is what we are going to talk about.

(Photo taken from the hillside of the most higest level of Citará Cliffs, bellow you will find some pics of this side looking from 100km far and more)

Ciudad Bolivar is a municipality located from the main city (Medellín- Capital) at 3 hours in a very hard but beautiful drive (landscapes) through the mountains, and when I say this, please stop thinking that you´ll probably find Tarzan here.

Once we are here, we are to trip about 35 minutes to a place that locals call “Corregimiento” that is a little town near the Main-Town.  After this time above dirt road, we get the FARALLONES “Valley” (for say “Corregimiento” in some way) and here, you will have to look up to the marvelous mountain in front of you, you won’t believe but his top has about 4008maslv, and get the top is possible asking for a man named Ivan Solis, this guy can take you to the top in three days. 

(This pic was taken at 86 kilometers from the place I am talking about in this post, You can see the majestic of the Cliffs over the big Colombian mountains)

The state history says that in the 90`s there was an airplane flying from Uraba to some town in the southwestern of the department when suddenly crashed against the top of this very long chain of mountains (about 120km of the occidental Andes Mountain`s arm) and for sure, he is going to you the crashed airplane (tail) just finishing the climb.

For this trip, I did not planned to climb, but after met this guy, you be sure that my next photos will be over there.

(I shoot this pic even more far than the first one, believe when I say that you an continue yor trip without stop and look at this landscape for long long time) 

Oh! I have some info about visitors, there was a guy (Ivan says) that came from EU and said that this is most exciting that Colorado Canon.

Well, believe this is up to you, and remember that this is not a blog for tourist, but for travelers.

(This is the higest level of the Cliffs)

HAVE A NICE TRIP!

Sense perceptions:

Smells coffee

Look at the landscapes

Meet other travelers (the Farallones valley is very very small, but when I went there I found a film production team of NEXPRESSO recording a coffee commercial)

Your skin will be ok, temperature is about 18- 22C  (not at the top for sure)

And You will hear, the weather.

My recent trip in this mystical country, that is still marvelous to me (this is my land) has been to an incredible places with the company of one friend of mine named Manu Bonte, from France. He used to travel each year to the country that he knows much more than me, hehe, to fly over it in a paragliding adventure.

Now, January and February, is the best time in Colombia to practice paragliding, and by Manu`s words I can say, that “Is the best country in the whole world to fly” And maybe is because it is not easy, to get the a perfect place to fly, you are to walk, ride a horse, take a bus, or truck, or mule… all you need to climb the wild mountains.

Now, actually I am in the very production of a complete documentary about this sport in my country, possible, I will travel to France soon, to make some history connection, because, in June of this year starts the world vivac competence in the Swiss Alps, so, could be great be there.  And from Colombia, we have a sports man there, his name is Alex Villa, that Actually is traveling (flying) from Medellín, to Cali, this is about 350km and three days of adventure over the coffee land.

Here, (left) ME and right is the sports man MAYER.

So, been no more, please taking a breath and come to Colombia. 

Ah! Blessings you all! 

NOTE: If want to know more about Colombia, I am planning a ground trip around it, by motorcycle, I will go to more than 20 different historic towns; and historic, because more of them were built by people from Europe in the conquest, so, will be great to visit them and show you how can you get there by earth. Actually I am in the sponsor’s seeking, so, if you want to be a part of this project, please contact me, and I will tell you about the benefits. The final result of this project will be a complete film production of 16 chapters.
