Toured the coffee region of Colombia, Jan. 2016.  Went to Hacienda Napoles, home of Pablo Escobar, then El Penal and around Nevado del Ruiz.  about 1600 km, 5 days and met lots of friendly people that spoke no English.

That trip really looks like it would be interesting.  Curious, did you take your bike or rent/borrow?

Thanks for sharing your trip and pictures with us!

Take care, RD

Rented from adventures 57 in Bogota. They have BMW bikes and they're typically less than two years old. I actually broke two spokes, rocks I assume, and they didn't charge anything which was nice. Good folks and they speak English!
