San Andres, Colombia, a paradise!!!

Aruba, Jamaica, or Hawaii are just a few of the most popular places North Americans choose to have their vacations. The beaches are gorgeous, the sea wonderful and food excellent, but realistically these places are too crowded, noisy and expensive. If you really want to relax, save money and feel out of this world, consider visiting the Caribbean islands of San Andres. San Andres is an archipelago located 480 miles North-West of Colombia, 150 miles East of Nicaragua and 528 miles from Jamaica; it is made of the three main islands of San Andres, Providencia, and Santa Catalina which  

are tiny islands surrounded by several islets, cays and banks that make your vacation a real heaven of peace and tranquility. The archipelago of San Andres is Colombian territory but it is distant from the country and from the main government in Bogota; it is safe, peaceful, and a very friendly island to enjoy a family vacation. The official lenguage is Spanish but the islanders also speak Caribbean English. www.sanandres.com

In Salta, Argentina and after eight years of study and preparation, the world finally can see La Doncella (The Maiden) the stunning mummy of an Inca girl who died more than 500 years ago in a ritual sacrifice. According to the archaeologist who found the mummified remains in Argentina in 1999, the girl and two other children, were left on a mountaintop in the Andes as offering to the Gods. Once there, the children succumbed to the cold, but their bodies were perfectly preserved through the centuries. The mummies of the other two children, remain in storage for further study, museum officials said. ©2010-2018 CafeJournal, NohraCeciliaLeschyson. All rights reserved.

LOST CITY, SANTA MARTA, COLOMBIA

Discovered in 1972 for treasure hunters, Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) is a Colombian archaeological site of an ancient city in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Being one of the most amazing discoveries of the world during the last decades, Ciudad Perdida it is believed to have been built by the Tyrona culture about 800 A.D.—Some 650 years earlier than Machu Pichu. The city is an astonishing complex of tiled roads, stone terraces and bridges, drainage systems, and small circular plazas set under steep rock walls rising up into the mountains. The local tribes, the Arhuaco, the Koguis, and the ARsario, have stated that they visited the site regularly long before it was widely discovered, but that they kept quiet about it since they consider Ciudad Perdida as a sacred legacy from their ancestors. It takes a six day trek through the Colombian Jungle to visit Ciudad Perdida, and the scenery is absolutely amazing. CafeJournalCopyright 2010-2018. NohraCeciliaLeschyson. All Rights Reserved.
