Sculpture of a cat made by Fernando Botero. The most famous artist coming from this city. He also has a part of a museum dedicated to his work. His speciality is to represent something or someone in a very big and fat way but with a part disproportionally small.

At the top of a small hill in Medellin, there is a very small village that preserves the style of the old Paisa region. The few houses are colored in white and other colors. The church is very small and inside, the dimension of the windows are written on the walls!

The old district of Bogota is called La Candelaria and the architecture of the buildings has a lot of european influences. The streets are small but beautiful. We walked there for few hours during the walking tour. It was raining cats and dogs!

Even though the quality of that street art is incredible, what is more important is the story behind and what it represents. The pfaces painted there where once people killed or abused by the different wars or soldiers over the last years. The internal conflicts in Colombia deeply touched the innocent people living in the country.

One of the main attraction in Bogota is the Grafiti Tour. The guide explained the story of the city through the different street arts around the city. This very one tag 'meuh' has been done by a french man that I met few days later!!
