Colombia: Tatacoa Desert

I left early in the morning with Darren and Gary with the intention of going to Mocoa. We all had to go to Pitalito first where the bus terminal was so we all jumped in the back of a collectivo. While talking with them I was convinced to ditch my plans and go north with them to the 1 or 2 deserts in Colombia for a break from the jungle and cactus wine and chocolate.
So off we went, a bus to Neiva, a collectivo to Villa Viaje, and a sorry state of a motor-taxi into the desert till we were in the middle of nowhere staying on mats in clay tepees  The afternoon was spent drinking the cactus wine with the owner forcing me to use the word chevere (meaning cool) to anything I asked for.

Totacoa - La Villa de Marquez : The morning was bright and hot. Raphael sent us off with just a point of his finger. Its hard to describe this place. It is like Utah or Arizona but at a small scale where you can jump over canyons, valleys are the size of your leg and the tallest mountain is 20 m high. Some reviews say this desert is overrated but I found it really neat! I have never seen anything like it and you are if in the area I think it´s a worthy stop especially when breaking up a drive from Bogota to the south.
