Colombia off the beaten track: the best there is! When we got in the car with two friends and left Bogot\u00e1 behind to explore unknown Colombia, we found ourselves in a very funny situation just like that. Because not only did we visit a beautiful lake, come face to face with a bunch of llamas and end up in a very interesting cemetery<\/a><\/strong>, but we also drank fresh coffee in a coffee shop located in the cute village of Machet\u00e1 far off the beaten path. After which, totally unexpectedly, we had a very interesting meeting. With whom? Read here what you can just experience while traveling in the especially hospitable Colombia!<\/p>\n

Machet\u00e1: an unknown gem in Cundinamarca<\/h1>\n

Cundinamarca is a province in Colombia that is massively overlooked by tourists. After all, what’s interesting here? Well quite a lot. Actually, we were not planning to continue our road trip to the right at all, until one of our friends remarked that there must be a cute little village there in the mountains. Machet\u00e1. Never heard of it. We gamble on it and in about 20 minutes I am almost jumping in the car when suddenly I see this appear among the mountains:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
