Some shots from La Ciudad Perdida – The Lost City.
It was here that Michael Fabricant MP had his unfortunate incident with the coffee whitener.
And this is Santa Marta, one-third of the triumvirate of coastal cities. I found it a very likeable place.
The nearby Tayrona National Natural Park – leave only footprints. If you look closely, one of the two people appears to have backwards feet.
It’s cumbia time again as I head back the town of Cienaga, meaning swamp. La Cumbia Cienaguera is yet another famous cumbia, this time by Aniceto Molina
And here’s Shakira doing her own impromptu version (after the Pink Panther, that is)

The mud volcano in San Antero. Nice day for it…
