I'm fascinated with the Kogi people - their wisdom, their architecture, their connection to nature. Can't help sharing another of their traditional dwellings with their distinctive roofs! If you're curious to see these in person, you can encounter Kogi villages along the trek to Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City) in Colombia's Sierra Nevada mountains.

I love visiting museums. Here is a ceremonial vessel, from the Tairona culture (900 to 1600 CE, northeastern Colombia), depicting a sacred dance. The figures with their elaborate costumes tell us that some things are truly timeless: music, dance, and our need to connect with something greater than ourselves.

Perched high in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, these traditional Kogi dwellings stand as a testament to their connection with the mountain. At this altitude, where misty clouds meet lush mountainsides, the Kogi people have maintained their way of life for centuries. This sacred territory reminds us of the profound relationship between indigenous peoples and their lands.

A glimpse into the seasonal home of the Kogi people, nestled in the majestic Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, in the north of Colombia. Such villages are called Kuibolos and are made of round huts where men live separate from women and children.
