Getting Around

Maps in Colombia usually look like this:













Yup, a rolled down window and a local. They usually flail their hands around saying "left, left, left" and pointing "right, right, right" and from there you should go straight until... until you reach the point that you are lost again.

Roll down the window and repeat as necessary.

I would hardly say Colombia is any more renowned for its signage than it is for its maps, either, but the Coffee Region does seem to have some decent signs. Or at least we thought so until we got here:



















So, the eco-park... Is it straight, or left? Because if they had hung the sign properly, it would be left. But maybe the messed up the sign and didn't want to invest in a new one, so they just hung it wrong, on purpose...?

The answer: Roll down the window and ask a local.

(These are exactly the reasons why we want to help you plan your trip -- let us get lost for you!)
