Trips that could have been and were not - Fragment 4.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We will return to design to live travel from a new reality, more human, calmer, more natural.
Nuqui, Colombia, March 2020.
Isa and Alejo, this is simply our imagination trying to recreate an adventure that we had designed to be unforgettable.
This day was for us as much or more awaited than for you. Surely the day before you were leaving everything ready to leave the children with the grandparents, preparing the suitcase or getting the mosquito repellent. Surely dreaming of arriving in Guachalito and discovering paradise.
We do not know if it is the first trip in a light aircraft, but surely taking off from Medellin and start crossing the mountains of Antioquia is an experience you will not forget. Start to see the Atrato River winding through the central mountain range and disappearing into the horizon. At some point you begin to fly over the Darien plug, an impenetrable jungle area between Colombia and Panama, it looks like a green mattress where no one can enter. Then, the sea appears, so big, so immense, the Pacific, which seems so calm that it makes you want to start sailing it.
They open the door of the plane and a slap of humidity floods everything and they start to imagine a cold beer. Ovidio, the hotel's boatman, is waiting for them at the airport exit. 30 minutes after sailing across the bay they arrive at what we consider paradise in Colombia.
Celina, the cook, is waiting for you with a smile that fills you with joy and an ice-cold lemonade. There are no tourists, the beach is almost all to yourselves. You leave your things in your room and go for a walk to the beach, which is bordered by the jungle and the sea. Nature at its best.
A sunset on the surfing beaches. Away from everything, where the waves break hard on the beach and everything is calm. They have prepared a small picnic to spend the afternoon. We dream a little and see them having a glass of wine and a sky that begins to turn orange. It is dawn and Ovidio is waiting for them to take them for a walk to visit the Jovi hot springs. A navigation between the sea and the river. They enter in a small canoe through the mangroves in search of the hot springs; a natural spa inside the jungle is waiting for them.
In the afternoon go to the cascade of love, a waterfall 50 meters from the beach. A pool with crystal clear water perfect to enjoy the jungle and why not, find a monkey in the trees.
This trip should have lasted longer, because every corner of this paradise had so much to give them that it was impossible for them to experience so much. And we imaginatively enjoyed every step they took. We saw them in every purchase we made, in every hotel we booked, in every excursion we planned. But they always say that there are second chances, things can always be better. So here we are, your travel team waiting for the perfect moment to travel again. And may imagination lead us all to explore a new destination.
