Zapatoca, Colombia

We decided to get out of the city for a weekend and head to a little town in the Santander region called Zapatoca.  We met our good friends here and stayed in one of their family friends' newly-built adobe (natural products such as mud, manure, straw etc.) house.  This was a couple of days of relaxing, hiking and campfires in a beautiful setting.  

The adobe house, which took approximately 2 years to complete using recycled and natural materials.

The town had a very laid-back and old-town feel to it.

Hiking to the mirador (viewpoint) to take in the incredible valley resting next to the Cañon de Chicamocha.

Ahhh, singlet and shorts weather.

About Us

We are an Australian couple who love to travel as much as we can. Our first backpacking adventure began in 2007 when we travelled through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China for 3 months before settling in Beijing for 6 months to teach English. Beijing proved a great base to earn enough money to continue travelling as Cameron managed to get to South Korea and Japan for 2 months, before we both went to Canada at the end of 2008. We then worked and travelled in Canada and the US for about 8 months before heading home to finish university. After graduating university, Cameron as a secondary English and Social Science teacher and Cassie as a human services worker, we worked for two years before heading off for our next adventure. This time, we left Australia on Christmas day 2012 and travelled through Europe for 4 months before heading for Central America. We initially intended to travel in Central America for 3 months but ended up staying for eleven. This trip has seen us travel through over 20 countries in 12 months and we are not intending to stop just yet!
