I agree Philly the pics in our group are fantastic. the diversity is incredible, you name it and Colombia has got it, I will contribute more pics and I know there will be alot more to come from other member's, I think it's only 11 or 12 members so far.

Good thread Philly!


Yes, Colombia does have it all. That's reminds of one time I was talking to a cousin from the US and he foolishly affirmed that "Colombia doesn't have any deserts". I immediately showed him pics of all three, la Tatacoa, Guajira, and the Candelaria desert by Villa de Leiva.

So what doesn't Colombia have?

Let's see....

Salt lakes?
Glaciers?
Quicksand?

You can see Colombian glaciers right here dude:

Just scroll down to where it says:

"Glaciar del Nevado de Santa Isabel, Caldas / Risaralda / Quindío / Tolima"


And I'm glad we don't have quicksand, that shit's dangerous! And I hate getting salt in my eyes when I go to the beach, so the same goes for any 'Salt Lakes'!

The only problem with traveling to the above place is coming across minor paraco, eln and farc activities, the reason why you don’t see many people there.
Fortunately since I’m Colombian and broke and guajiro, I could go there anytime I fokin want.
Sometimes it pays to be a modefoque like me jjijijijjji

Oh, and Colombia doesn't have many fat chicks.

Or trains.

Or recipes involving white sauce.

Or Komodo dragons.

Leeroy, respete. You should say "chubby".

Right, yeah.

Colombia doesn't have many, ahem, "chubby" chicks. Or "huggable" chicks. or "chicks with rounded figures".

I have seen a couple mind you.

A couple?

Sadly, I am seeing more overweight people in Colombia every time I return. Unfortunately, many people have taken to the fast/junk food lifestyle. I will grant you that there is a vastly smaller percentage of overweight people in Colombia than in the US, but they are not as rare as they used to be.

Of the 120 or so kids that I teach, I can think of one chubby girl.

Wait, maybe two.

I only one girl I know socially could be described as chubby.

I will add that you very rarely see morbidly obese people in Colombia, whereas it is very common to see people in the US that weigh 300-400lbs or more.

You're right about kids Leeroy. You don't see that many overweight kids in Colombia. I was referring mainly to adults.

Like everywhere, adults that have got married and have kids are frequently a little chubby. Hell, that's normal. There are not many single chubby chicks, however.

And while there are a few chubby guys, not many are "morbidly obese", like you say.
