UF in Colombia Day 7: Caribe & Ceviche

Hola bizcochos!
After a short (too short) but exciting couple of days in Medellín it was time for us to leave for our last destination on the trip, moving North this time. With Colombia being such a diverse country, we had all agreed on that it would not be fair to only see the city-side of it. So, early Saturday morning we headed to the airport to catch our flight to the caribbean coast and Santa Marta.
Santa Marta was the first European-founded city in South America (and the first one to get exploited, woho what an honour right). Legacies from the colonial time cannot only be noted through architecture and buildings, but also through the large afro-colombian population living here and along the whole caribbean coast, whose ancestors were slaves first brought to the country by colonizers during the period of triangle trade. This group is still one of the most marginalised ones in Colombia, just like the indigenous community who also are present in areas nearby, mainly in The National Park of Tayrona and La Sierra Nevada. Very few of these peoples live in Bogotá and Medellín, so by coming here we hoped to get their perspective of Colombia as well!
