Colombia: Riding Horses Bareback

On Colombia’s páramo, on my way up snow-capped El Cocuy Mountain, my path crossed that of a farmer and his son riding horses bareback on their way down to the small town of El Cocuy.

Sur le páramo colombien, durant une escalade d’El Cocuy, une montagne à la cime enneigée, mon chemin a croisé ce fermier et son fils qui montaient leurs chevaux sans selles dans leur descente au gros village du même nom que la montagne.
