#waxpalm

Wax palm in the clouds. A wax palm Forrest peaks out from behind. A Quindío Wax Palm can grow to be 196 feet tall. #headintheclouds #travel #Salento #corcora #quindio #colombia #dropmeanywhere #travelwriter #trlt #ttot #passionpassport #nature #palmtreesofinstagram #waxpalm (at La Cabaña Eco-Hotel)

Around a year ago, @paolacala and I were preparing for my first trip to Colombia; it was supposed to be a retreat, but instead it was a visit with Pao's school friends and family in the Land of Magical Realism. I learned conversational Spanish through immersion, wandered around Cali (it feels and smells like Brooklyn), drove across the country, walked up a mountain, down through the Cocora Valley and tasted coffee while standing on the land very land it grew from. I am in LOVE with Colombia. So in Love, in fact, that Pao and I are planning another retreat in the later half of 2017— and this time, we're going surfing. #staytuned #visitcolombia #travelcolombia #thelandofmagicalrealism #soulfulyogis #surftrip #ilovecolombia #colombia #explorecolombia #surfcolombia #waxpalm #lookup #travel #thisismyplayground

The view from our campsite in Valle de Cocora, Colombia. Probably one of the only places in the world where you find palm trees at 2400 meters/7800 feet of elevation. Each morning at sunrise and each evening at sunset we would begin and end our day watching and listening to the sweet symphony of birds flying around these lovely mountains. 🇨🇴 April 2014
