These days I have a terrific need for a bright, pure smile.
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw

Santa Cruz de Mompox, Colombia (Part 1)
It took me at least 20 hours (maybe a bit more) to get from Cabo de la vela to Santa Cruz de Mompox, in the Bolivar Department of Colombia.
To arrive in this little colonial-style village - declared UNESCO World Heritage in 1995 - at the junction between Magdalena and Cauca rivers I had to travel two days no-stop, to change 7 times of vehicle, and to use 4 different means of transport (colectivo, taxi, motocycle and raft).

Streets of... Valle de Leyva, Colombia
Villa de Leyva is one of the finest colonial villages of Colombia, located in a high altitude valley at 2,144 m altitude in the Boyacá Department.
It was declared a National Monument in December 17, 1954 to preserve its architecture, but the valley itself is worth such honor.
