An Afternoon in Quibdó, Chocó, Colombia

in Worldmappin3 years ago

I took a wild trip to the Afro-Colombian city of Quibdo. Vibrant markets, welcoming people, interesting sights, and great food were all highlights of this adventure!

I wad blown away with everything going on around me, the variety of products being bought and sold, and the vastly different environment these people live in compared to other regions of Colombia. The culture is certainly unique, and integral to the identity of this country.

Racing around blind corners on rough roads at night in Colombia's Chocó department. This photo is blurry because the road was never smooth.

Exploring the malecon, taking a boat ride, and walking through the river side market to enjoy lunch. Very cool!
