THREE BARBOSA WATERFALLS IN ONE DAY TOUR FROM MEDELLIN

Barbosa is a magical place.
With proper restrictions – to control
overdevelopment and ensure there is not overtourism – this area should be unlocked
for those who respect nature and appreciate unique local experiences.
I cannot wait to come back.

Yes, Pablo Escobar held Medellin and
Colombia hostage for more than a decade.
And certainly, the FARC and other groups
aiming for revolution have done bad things.
But during a week in the center of
Medellin and two days in the countryside – I felt as safe as anywhere in
America.
When you think about how dangerous our
driving is and how we do nothing in the U.S. to curb gun violence – I think
Colombia has rapidly become more safe and tranquil than the nation I was born
in.

When you are knee deep in cool, pure
water -- looking up at cascades of mountain water -- you will reconnect with
nature.
Like everybody, I have my concerns
about clients, earnings, savings, health and poor local, state and federal
government in the U.S.
Hearing rushing water, then coming out
of the trees and lush greenery to see a unique waterfall – it is a deeply
spiritual and profound experience.
This is one of the most physically and
mentally renewing day trips possible.
In less than an hour, you are driven
from the urban intensity of Medellin into the paradise that is rural Colombia.
The tour passes the quaint center of
the town of Barbosa.
It visits we will visit the Cascada Chorron
plus two other waterfalls that I believe are roughly translated to the
Waterfall of the Wind plus the Cave of Love/Enchantment.
BLOGGING DAILY – FOR A DECADE – ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY, INCLUSION, EQUITY AND DIVERSITY
It started
out as a way to share my travel images and thoughts on urban design.
I quickly
added advocacy for people with disabilities – which certainly is crucial to accessible
travel and barrier-free urban design/town planning.
Over the
years, I have gotten more aggressive about calling out poor design that creates
barriers for wheelchair users.
I have
pointed out how this nation still lacks affordable, accessible housing –
despite living more than three decades under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The stories
also have shared best practices for urban design, architecture and
transportation mobility – gleaned from my articles in leading publications such
as Planning, New Mobility and On Common Ground magazines.
I love
sharing images from the backstreets of Turkey, Morocco, Egypt and other locales
in Europe, South America and beyond.
I have made more
than 3,000 blog posts.
That’s
enough to fill four full-length books.
Thanks to everyone
for following this blog and sharing its ideas.
