Longest bus ride of my life

My trip to Salento was just hell, about 21 hours in total from leaving my hostel in San Gil to reaching my hostel in Salento, 4 buses, 2 mountain passes, 4+ hours of tire squealing switchbacks.  To put it in perspective, I’ve never gotten car sick before, and I wasn’t feel too well towards the end of the third straight hour of swerving corners.

It took all my patience but I got to the Plantation House and scored the last dorm bed.  I won’t be leaving this place anytime soon after such a ride.
