A week in Colombia

Day 1

i arrived at El Dorado Airport at 4am, having slept not that great on a six-hour overnight flight from Toronto. my friend had booked me a taxi straight from the airport to her apartment; taxis here are really cheap, around 4 pounds to get across the entire city. Uber is also widely used here, although you should sit in the front seat as they are not actually allowed in Bogotá. apartments in Bogotá are really well protected, with different security measures to keep you safe. first i napped for a few hours and then had a delicious vegan bowl made by my friend's lovely mom. then my friend showed me around her neighbourhood, Chapinero, a historically queer district in north Bogotá. i learned how Colombia is a really queer and trans-friendly country, where gay marriage is legal and trans people have complete right of self-determination to change their documents, even with non-binary options, as well as gender-affirming healthcare!

for lunch my friend treated me to patacones, a mashed plantain baked to a crisp and topped with delicious toppings. she also showed me some awesome bookstores, such as Nada and Tornamesa. i tried delicious local chocolate from Fruto de Cacao. the weather was amazing at around 23 degrees celcius, not too sunny but pleasantly warm with no wind. luckily i did not suffer immediately from the altitude sickness that many tourists get when they arrive, as Bogotá is the highest capital city above sea level in the world.

we went back to watch a documentary about Lemebel, a queer icon in latin america (my friend was scandalized i had not heard of him). then i napped a bit more, which was a mistake; i woke up feeling so sick that i couldn't eat!

then we went to Theatron, latin america's biggest queer club. the streets that were empty before came alive with music and thousands of people. we had hotdogs from Nomáda Bogotá which were lovely, but sadly i was too sick to eat. Theatron has over 15 rooms with different types of music and live shows, and a capacity of over 6000. entry is less than £10 on saturdays (cheaper on other days) and includes a drink (gatorade for me)! my friend tells me more and more straight people come to the club now, but it was still very queer-friendly and one of the coolest club experiences i have ever had.

Day 2

for lunch my friend took me to a delicious vegan restaurant that does all traditional Colombian food, called Maria Candela. i tried ajiaco, a Bogotán dish of a herbal soup made with different kinds of local potatoes and chicken. it was so yummy, cheap and super filling!

i then went on a general tour of Bogotá hosted by Beyond Colombia. the guide was super enthusiastic and taught me so many things i didn't know about Colombia. we walked around important sights in its history, tasted the local traditional alcohol called chicha (fermented corn and sugar), and walked around the iconic La Candelária district. it was so colourful, full of street art and intricate crafts.

we then went to see Past Lives (again) at the cinema. the cinema quality was amazing, and the popcorn tasted really good! during Oscars season, you can get a pass to all the Oscars movies in february.

Day 3

in the morning i took an Uber to the bottom of the Monserrate, a mountain in Bogotá. it costs about £6 for a return journey on the cable car up the mountain to its peak, where you will find a church, a tourist market, and some restaurants. you can hike up the mountain yourself, but it takes around 2 hours. on the holy week, people walk up barefoot or on their knees on a sacrificial pilgrimage up the mountain to the church. in the church is the Black Madonna, based on the same iconic statue on the Montserrat mountain in Catalonia.

(this is also when i found out i got into the university of tokyo starting in april!)

it was super foggy on the 3000 metre high mountain and we could barely see the city. it started to pour with rain and my umbrella was not enough. unfortunately i got cold and wet without a coat, and was also exposed to high levels of UV up on the mountain, which led me to develop a fever later that evening...

i tried a bit of coca tea on the mountain. in Colombia and other countries in the Andes mountain range, people have been consuming coca leaves for centuries. coca tea contains a small amount of cocaine with mild stimulant effects, much like caffeine in coffee, and is completely harmless. Colombians use it to cure altitude sickness, nausea, and other stomach upsets.

i took my friends i made on the tour to Maria Candela again and i tried frijolada, which is a wholesome bean soup that i really loved. after that, i went to the Botero Museum/MAMU which has some really unique art from international artists, paintings by the iconic Colombian painter Botero, and a current exhibition highlighting indigenous culture and art (all in Spanish). it's free to visit so i definitely recommend going!

when my friend heard i felt sick, she took me to get aguapanela. panela is unrefined sugar, which you put in hot water for a nice soothing beverage. the Bogotá tradition is to put pieces of cheese in it, let them melt and then eat them! since i'm vegan i had it with bread. it was very delicious

Day 4

i had a restless night with my fever and decided to stay at home for the day. my tour guide even cancelled, so it felt like a sign not to go anywhere.

my friend's mom was an absolute angel and made me delicious vegan food and hot drinks and before long i felt a lot better

Day 5

in the morning i went on a war and peace-themed walking tour, also operated by Beyond Colombia. our guide was super knowledgeable, condensing centuries' worth of history into three hours. i learned so much about Colombia's recent history and controversies and i highly recommend this tour.

after that, i went to the Gold Museum (or Museo del Oro), which houses pre-Hispanic golden artefacts. in the indigenous culture, gold represented the sun and did not have monetary value; it was used in crafting and often offered back to nature. El Dorado is not a place, but an ancient ritual in which gold is thrown into the water, particularly a large lake near Bogotá; the Spanish dug up a lot of it and melted it into gold bars, but this museum still holds a large collection of 35,000, which is still only about 1% of the original artifacts that have been sacrificed in the ritual over the millennia.

at the end of the day my friend invited me to a collage-making workshop, which was really fun and therapeutic!

Day 6

at 8am in the morning, i took an Uber to the Paloquemao fruit market, where i was to have an AirBnB Experiences tour with my friend's brother, Victor. i was stunned by the amount of fruit i had never seen before. i tried different avocados, guavas, berries, cactus fruit, melons, and more. my favourite was the guanabana, or custard apple, which tastes exactly like custard!

the market is also full of beautiful flowers, vegetables, souvenirs and all sorts. i recommend visiting, though take an Uber as apparently it is not in the safest of neighborhoods.

in the evening i went to the National Museum, which houses an impressive amount of information about Colombian history. there are currently a few exhibitions about indigenous cultural revival. i was most excited to see a small exhibition about Las Traviesas, a collective of displaced indigenous trans women in Colombia, which was a beautiful and inspiring display of art.

towards the end of my visit, i developed a migraine. i got a tasty dinner at Wok and then went home to recover. thank you again to my friend and her mom for taking care of me!

on the day there was a big protest in the city centre in support of the current president. it's better to try and avoid the city centre when there are big protests.

Day 7

me and my friend went on a day trip to Villa de Leyva, a town north of Bogotá in the beautiful Boyacá region, famous for its emeralds. the bus trip took between 4 and 5 hours each way.

the town is absolutely gorgeous, full of cobbled streets and old colonial architecture. it was more touristy than Bogotá, with lots of tourist shops and some tasty food options. i got gelato made with tamarind and tajín (chilli flakes). for lunch, we went to La Maria Bistro which had an incredible brocolli dish that was the best thing i've eaten in a long while.

we went to Casa Terracota, the world's largest ceramic structure. it took 15 years for the architect to bake the house, during which it fell down three times. the construction was incredible and it was a very unique experience. usually the tour is only in spanish, but the guide did a great job translating it to english for me. the crazy thing was that he did his study abroad in Paignton, which is the town next to my hometown!

Day 8

on the last day, my friend and i went into the city to buy souvenirs for my family. there are tons of tourist shops and stalls in La Candelária, and we did our best research to find out which crafts were authentic. for lunch we want to Maria Candela again as the whole city was having a vegan burger festival with several restaurants participating.

in the afternoon we went to see Perfect Days, a really beautiful japanese movie. the cinema in Bogotá was really nice, with great quality screens and tasty snacks.

in the evening we went to my friend's favourite taco place, Insurgentes. the vibe was great and the tacos were delicious (mostly meat but some vegan).

for our final stop, we went to Chiquita. much smaller than Theatron but with a majority queer crowd, the music was on point and the atmosphere was great. there were even a couple of drag performances which apparently happen every night. i really loved this bar, which had a mixture of 90s/2000s pop and latin pop. i could have stayed there much longer but i had to get home to sleep before my flight at 9am.

i am the first to admit i knew nothing about Colombia (or even South America in general) before coming to Bogotá. i was eager to learn, and yet i learned far more than i ever imagined. Colombia exceeded my expectations 100 times over.

the internet is full of scary stories about Colombia, yet i felt safer here than i ever have in the US, for example. the city is so vibrant, colourful, and creative, full of life and soul. it is also the most queer-friendly capital i have been to, with the most amazing clubs you could imagine.

i learned so much about the history of the country, the language, the food, the art, and the gorgeous nature that's around every corner.

but what makes Colombia so, so great is the people. everybody here was so friendly and made such an effort to make me feel welcome, even though i know barely any Spanish. the city feels so alive with passion, hope, and resistance. i am so, so grateful to my friend Estefanía for taking care of me while i was there, looking after me and showing me the real Bogotá, making sure i knew where to go and what to do. she really is the best of us, and i will never forget her kindness 💕

i am so grateful to her incredible mother as well for nursing me back to health when i was sick!

i would come back to Colombia in a heartbeat, but until then, i have to get on the language apps!

do you have el goblino headcannons perhaps :>

GOBBBYYYYY GOOOOBY AAAAAGAGRYEUEBEUEYHESGAFFAEHEECH

Married and pan <3

I’d like to clarify he’s probably Colombian..??? Maybe Cuban or Mexican to. Don’t quite know.

BEST. FRIENDS. WITH. JEFF. They are amazing friends for real :)

Probably even more then friends, probably queer platonic squishes.

Vegan or vegetarian that occasionally eats bugs or small rodent/bird/fish meat.

HAS eaten people. Pretty much traumatized him and Jeff.

Is small enough to slip past the guiding light’s wards and leave the hotel.

Gathers mushrooms and wild berries and r o o ts and wild onions. He has knowledge of wild-grown medicine. A useful skill that’s saved his and Jeff’s life many times.

He has various fruit trees/plants just growing wild out there. Knows every corner of the forest and farms surrounding the area.

If he eats too much he will pass out.

Once ate so many nectarines he passed out and some hikers thought he was a dead baby.

They poked him with a stick and screamed.

Another time he ate too much frosting and when Jeff found him he was covered in it and Jeff took so many pictures.

Fluffy. Super soft and fluffy pretty much looks like how he does in canon but fluffy.

That and Scarred up from various fights with entities.

HAS DAGGERS. HE WILL FUCKING STAB YOU.

Mostly just uses it to cut/eat waffles :)

He will steal if he sees you have a seed packet. But why would you have that- like why-

Like who’s walking around with just seed packets on them.

Misses his Amore.

Wouldn’t it be funny if his Amore was Jeff and Jeff just happens to use She/He and that’s an inside joke they both have that Jeff’s dead??

“I can still hear her voice.. I will see her again düd..” “GOBBY I AM RIGHT HERE!!”

Doesn’t like Screech, but tolerates it because It’s Jeff’s Grandchild.

Bob is not canon. Or if he is. He is a stuffed skeleton toy Gobby owns.

the point is I don’t have a place for bob in the canon in like any of my aus.

An outcast like Jeff due to being associated with him and interfering with hunts.

Has spoke with the guiding light a few times. Gives him “ehhhhhhhhhh” vibes.

AREPAS with Black Beans, Plantain & Guac

The Arepa is made from corn dough, originating from indigenous tribes in Colombia and Venezuela. Traditionally, the Colombian arepa is served with salt, butter and sometimes cheese, whereas the Venezuelan arepa is stuffed with different ingredients including meats, cheese and avocado - to make this vegan I’ve gone for black beans, plantain and a cashew cheese sauce! 😋

INGREDIENTS 

For the arepas: 300g PAN corn meal  1 tbsp olive oil  1 tsp salt  450ml boiling water

For the black beans: 2 400g tins black beans  1 finely chopped red pepper  1 finely chopped red chilli  3 garlic cloves  1/2 a red onion, diced  Spices: 1tsp coriander, cumin and smoked paprika  1/2 tsp salt + more to taste  1 tbsp peanut butter Squeeze of lime 

For the guac: 1 ripe avocado  1 tbsp diced red onion 2 cloves minced garlic  1 tbsp chopped cherry tomatoes  1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander  1 tbsp olive oil  Juice of 1 lime  1 tsp salt

For the picked pink onion: 1/2 a red onion, sliced  1 tbsp white vinegar  1 tsp salt  Boiling water 

🌱finely chop half a red onion, and slice the other half for pickling. Put the pickle ingredients into a smalll bowl and set aside. 🌱 chop the rest of the veg, then mix the arepa ingredients together and let stand whilst you cook the beans  🌱 sauté the other half of the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 min, then add the garlic, spices, a little salt, red pepper and cook down until it’s starting to stick onto the bottom of the pan. Add the beans (and their juice), simmer for 10 min. Add the peanut butter, squeeze of lime and season to taste. Take off the heat.  🌱 remove the beans and wipe out the pan. Roll the arepas with your hands to make 7-8cm disc which are about 1-1.5cm thick. Fry the arepas for 5-7 min each side or until browning and hard to the touch/tap. 🌱 mix the guac ingredients together, blend the cashew cheese ingredients, and if using the plantain, cut into roundels and fry with a little oil until golden. Remove and pop on a paper towel, sprinkle a little sea salt.  🌱 carefully cut and assemble the arepa, enjoy! Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CodCfluKo-F/ (sophplantkitchen on IG)

Interview -- Stella A.T.

NG: You spoke before about the “nature goddess” persona you’ve created as a motif in your work. Why is embodying nature in that way important to you and how it conveys your themes? SAT: (Nature Goddess). The Nature Goddess is an important alter-ego for me because after living under the shroud of "marriage" she gave me a voice that made me feel powerful and of significance. She embodies the person I have been told since childhood to hide: an independent, fiercely caring, uncompromising woman who lives by her convictions and her empathy towards those who cannot speak for themselves. NG: When Alissa and I entered your studio, you explained how you were going to utilize the gold leaf in other works of yours. What does the gold leaf mean to you? SAT: I grew up on Colombia up to age 15, the place where the Legend of "El Dorado" and others about the treasures of the land filled my mind. In fact, the yellow of the Colombian flag signifies the Gold and richness of the land, which was extracted by the Spaniards for their gain during the colonization period. The museum of Gold in Bogota houses many treasures created by out indigenous ancestors as offerings to the sun and other Gods. Likewise, as the Spaniards filled their churches with gold from our lands, a simple statue or frame became highly prized. Although tacky to some professors here, my use of gold is not a novice's experimental fancy or passing aesthetic. I use it as a means to tie to both my heritage and the concept of divinity, coveted treasure and timelessness. NG: If you had to (and if you can’t or don’t want to, also a valid answer!) how would you classify your practice? Is it art activism as it portrays humanity’s relationship with nature? Personal narrative as it illustrates your own journey? Etc.! SAT: I suppose my work can be considered "cathartic activism". It is my hope to both help others connect with their inner strengths and bring awareness to the amazing gift that nature is for humanity. Curiously enough, I also think of my veganism in the same way, but at a meta-cognitive level, being a more intimate practice required for my own peace of mind and daily functioning.

Bogotá is Colombia’s sprawling, high-altitude capital

Streets of Bogota on Rainy days

Bogota is located in the Colombian Andean Region at 8,660 feet of altitude. Its weather is chilly and very rainy. Although it’s a beautiful city to explore and very friendly to walk around, it’s good to have a back-up plan for when it rains and you find yourself with nothing to do.

The best things to do in Bogota when it rains:

Seek shelter in a museum

The historic centre of Bogota, La Candelaria, is by far the nicest part of the city to visit. The central square, Plaza Bolivar, makes a good orientation point with its beauful Cathedral and plethora of nearby museums like the Botero and Casa Moneda. The Gold Museum is must see as well. (Barrio La Candelaria Museums of Bogotá)

There are many cool museums in Bogota, and most of them are in the historical center of La Candelaria. They are perfect places to spend a rainy afternoon and get a cup of coffee. Our favorite museums are the Museo Botero, where you can see his extensive body of work as well as his personal collection which includes a lot of European, American and Latin American artists. Another great option is MAMBO: the modern art museum of Bogota; it’s always a great option if you’re interested in contemporary latin american art. Another great option if you’re further north are the art galleries. Our favorites are Galería La Cometa, Nueveochenta and NADA.

Go to the movies

Cinemateca Distrital This is a perfect rainy-day plan in any city, but Bogota has a few charming independent cinemas well worth a visit. Check out Cine Tonalá, which has a cool café where you can enjoy drinks and snacks, and even a little art gallery upstairs. The new Cinematheque of Bogota just opened in 2019 and their film selection is always solid. If you’re further north, check out Cinema Paraíso in Usaquén or Cinemanía un Parque de la 93.

Get a hot drink at a café

Arte y Pasion Cafe

Watch the rain fall from the cozy seat of a café while you enjoy some world famous colombian roast. There are endless options for this in Bogotá if you want a place to work, relax, meet a friend or just enjoy some colombian coffee and pastries by yourself. Some cafés you can’t miss are Masa and Juan Valdez- Bogota classics, but also try new trendy options like Mesa Salvaje (great for vegans!).

Go shopping

Centro Comercial Atlantis Plaza Bogota Bogota has a great assortment of malls in every neighborhood, and they’re nice places to kill time if there’s a storm going on outside. If you’re in the mood, some of the best options are Centro Andino in Zona Rosa, Parque La Colina, a new upscale mall in the north area, or Multiplaza, the biggest mall in the city located near the airport in case that’s where you’re staying. colombian coffee and pastries by yourself. Some cafés you can’t miss are Masa and Juan Valdez- Bogota classics, but also try new trendy options like Mesa Salvaje (great for vegans!).

Weathering the Bogotá weather

The dichotomy of the weather in Bogotá, streets of water

Of course umbrellas are for sale on every street corner, but of such poor quality as to be almost a disposable item, and the rain is so heavy the bounce-back of the street soaks you from the bottom up. Not to mention the road-river-road you are wading in. Many people prefer to use a newspaper or whatever bag or documents they are carrying to shield themselves from rain, or just wait it out in a shop-front.

or blue skies as far as you can see!

Clouds can dump rain or just disappear in the high dry air as quickly as they formed. Like many battles, the drama has no predictable outcome. In the end, many people living here just think, sod it, no point looking like a plonker in a rain cape just in case.

The colonial founders of Santa Fe chose to centre the city on the wettest part of the Bogotá plains, pushed up against the mountainside in an area referred to today as cielo roto, broken sky. An apt name, since it does feel sometimes like heaven has cracked open and some celestial river is pouring in.

The only time you can really expect consistent dry weather is the few weeks after Christmas, maybe running into February if you’re lucky
