"The Only Risk is Wanting to Stay"

"Colombia, the only risk is wanting to stay," that's a very famous quotation everywhere. Despite of some bad comments, Colombia is a gorgeous country with a lot of fancy places to visit. One of the best places tourists should visit and admire the unique nature is "El Eje Cafetero", where the most delicious coffee in the world grow up. El Eje Cafetero is situated close to the west cost of Colombia and is part of three "cafeteras"cities; the weather is most of the time warm, between 22 and 25 degrees. Because of that, there are many ecoturist plans to do during the year.
One good plan, is visit the famous natural cloud forest "Valle de Cocora"; this is a place where you can find the the wax palm, which is the tallest tree in the world and the national symbol in Colombia. To get there people just need to use horseback riding or jeep. People can stay in this astonishing place 2 days to enjoy the traditional Colombian food, the beautiful overview and countless cups of coffee.
Another relaxing plan is go to "Parque Nacional del Cafe," a very big and interesting place where you can discover all the process about growing coffee, meanwhile you are having fun in knowing history, walking around to see plantations of many varieties of coffee bushes and plantain, using a gondola lift, riding on the roller coaster and watching shows.
"El Eje Cafetero" is one of the traditional places to visit in Colombia and I'm completely sure that people who go there will fall in love, because Colombia more than have beautiful places is full of nice and kind people.

Dreams Can be True!


"Three Cups of Tea" teaches me that everything in life is possible if you really want. This book includes many histories about how to achieve small or big goals; these kind of stories have messages for people who think many things in life are impossible. One message that makes me think about, was in chapter 2 when Greg got lost trying to go to K2. Greg's attitude was very impressive, he did not despair and stayed quiet and patient facing the situation. Another good message has written in chapter 5, when Greg wrote 580 letters and no one of these were answered. This act represent hope and persistence, Greg was not able to write by himself the letters, however he asked someone for help and wrote and sent cards everywhere. The most important message here is that despite Greg didn't received money, he kept struggling for his goal and somehow he got money. Finally, the most important message is described in chapter 13, "Haji Ali's Lesson," I think that is the best message someone can receive. Making relationships is as significant as building project. These reasons are just some of many messages that I found in reading the book.  It makes me feel happy to know that someone is interested in one of the biggest problems around the world. Even though is a big problem, the CAI is working hard and making dreams come true. The book have many examples to follow.
