Photos on the road: Pueblo Nuevo to Tarazà (the rivers section)

This is what real mistletoe looks like, by the way. This epiphytic dark green wad hanging out in another tree.
We found a charming pedestrian shopping mall in the town of Taraza. On the edge of the mountains, surrounded by cattle, this place feels oddly like Wyoming.
Our ride along the Cauca river. We love all the green.
What a delicious road! Smooth, shaded, shouldered. As I keep yammering on about, the roads in this country have been ideal for cycling.
Classic house paint. Laundry day!
Banyos exist in all forms, when necessary. Climbed down into the culvert beneath this amazing ficus tree. The culvert was beating with bats!
A view up into the ceiling of this hotel (in Pueblo Nuevo), proves pleasing in patterns of palm thatch.
Breakfast at Grandma's place is cooked on a fire. Every meal here, no matter where or when, we always leave full to the ears, and pay about $2-$5 for both of us.


Also, thank you all for the feedback! I enjoyed hearing from you, and glad you are all traveling along, less sweatily and with fewer ants, I'm sure. :)  I'll post more town names, for those mapophiles out there. (It may not look like we are travelling very far each day, but there is so much to take in within each kilometer, that it feels very far indeed)

Are there a lot of mosquitoes?

There were in Cartagena but we have been blessed with no worries about them mostly.
