Puerto Triunfo to Murillo: we cycle Colombia’s old trade routes and up an active volcano, and witness how shifting infrastructure reshapes life along the way.
An awesome account. Your comment about Colombia being dependent on infrastructure sounds like Jamaica (on a much smaller scale). Sleepy backwaters that were once busy are created by highways.
Hi Emma! Thank you so much. It was strange seeing that phenomenon first-hand - arriving in towns that were clearly important hubs in the past but are now forgotten. There's a sense they're preserved in time ... it would be a treat to see Jamaica in this way someday.
