The experience
A 330-km² badland of eroded ochre canyons and gray gullies — near-equator skies and minimal light pollution make it one of Colombia's best stargazing sites, with a working observatory.
Far off the Cartagena–Medellín–coffee axis; sleeping out for the night sky still feels like frontier travel.

It's only worth the detour Dec–Feb & Jun–Sep. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
