About the Book
Andrés Restrepo & Juan Pablo Gaviria
Andrés Restrepo and Juan Pablo Gaviria, two experienced bikers who share a passion for the unknown, leave their jobs on the side and go aboard on the adventure of travelling Colombia by motorbike, roaming through barely travelled roads to observe and witness what they like to call the “real” Colombia… All there is to reach beyond the main cities.
For some people, travelling thru Colombia by road is supposed to be a very dangerous endeavour, and even more if you go off the main roads. This book does not intend to prove otherwise. Colombian security has improved leaps and bounds, but if you get yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time (as in any country) things can go awful. Always ask around, and don’t take the roads we took for granted. Some are dangerous.
This is not the typical tourist book. This book is the result of unplanned photographs of a traveller going through places with a different perspective than finding a 5 star hotel and Dining. With the characteristic eagerness of a real traveller and the uncertainty of the biker who does not know where he is going to sleep at night, but with the pleasure of documenting the beauty of the people and places that they find in their path.
All of us who live in large cities are trapped in a bubble and ignore how one’s country is like. It is amazingly beautiful, and it’s our duty to travel through it in order to recognize who we are and thus have a better understanding of the country we live.
Welcome to our Photographic, Motorcycle diaries thru Colombia.
We hope this book will continue to inspire all those who love the uncertain when they venture into the future. This is only the beginning of an adventure, of a lifestyle, a dream and a life purpose.
