Santa Rosa natural hot springs
We went to Santa Rosa and found ourselves a hotel room with 5 beds in it. There were now 5 of us travelling together as we were now joined by an American guy - Blake. We dumped our stuff and got a taxi out to the hot springs. We were greeted by a spectacular waterfall with some pools at the bottom which were steaming. So we all got changed and slipped in the hot pools. We kept ourselves cool with some cold beers which made the perfect contrast!
We lounged around for few hours alternating between the very hot springs and then standing under the cool waterfall. After the springs we went back in to the town of Santa Rosa and called in at a bar where there was a couple of flirty old barmaids playing what I can only describe as 80's Colombian music at full volume. The bar was pretty empty but there was possibly the drunkest man alive sitting in the corner, but the barmaids seemed to know him so I guess he is a regular fixture there.
The next day with our hot spring experience complete, we headed to the town of Medellin - famous for being the base of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel.
