Chapter 01 · Nights 1 – 3

Cartagena

Colorful colonial doorway draped with bougainvillea in Cartagena's walled city

Cartagena, Colombia

Colonial Walls & Rooftop Mezcal

You arrive at dusk when the Old City is turning amber.

Your room is inside a 17th-century merchant's house — the walls are two feet thick and the courtyard fountain never stops.

On the second night, a table for two appears on a rooftop you didn't know existed, candles already lit, the Caribbean a dark suggestion beyond the ramparts.

You order the mezcal.

Nobody asks how long you plan to stay.

Cocora Valley

Mist rising through towering wax palms in Colombia's Cocora Valley at dawn

Cocora Valley, Colombia

Wax Palms, Horseback & Morning Fog

You wake up and the coffee is already picked.

It was picked by the family three generations before the alarm would have gone off.

Outside, the wax palms — Colombia's national tree, sixty meters tall — are half-dissolved in morning fog.

The horses are saddled.

There is no itinerary for the afternoon, only a direction: up, into the cloud forest, until the valley disappears below you like something from a dream you're still inside.

Tatacoa Desert

Milky Way arching over red ochre desert formations at Tatacoa, Colombia

Tatacoa Desert, Colombia

Stargazing & Thermal Pools

Nobody comes here.

That's the point.

The Tatacoa isn't the Sahara — it's smaller, stranger, the colour of dried blood and bone.

By day you float in thermal pools carved into the rock.

By night, the sky does something you will spend years trying to describe.

The nearest city light is ninety kilometres away.

The astronomer sets up the telescope at ten.

You lie on a blanket on the desert floor and the Milky Way is not a metaphor — it is simply there, above you, personal as a whisper.

Barú Island

Pristine white sand beach with turquoise Caribbean water and coconut palms at Barú

Barú Island, Colombia

Private Beach & Nothing Else

The boat leaves at seven.

By eight-thirty you are standing on sand so white it hurts to look at directly.

The villa has no television.

There are two hammocks, a private stretch of beach, and a staff of three who appear only when something is needed.

On the last morning you wake before dawn and walk to the water's edge alone.

The Caribbean is perfectly flat.

The only footprints in the sand are yours.

You stand there a long time, not wanting to be the one to break it.

From the Journal

What they said when they came home.

"
Tatacoa Desert

"We told everyone we were going to 'Colombia' and watched their faces try to place it. At the dinner party three months later, we were still the only people who'd been to Tatacoa. That's exactly what we wanted."

"
Cocora Valley

"The coffee farm morning in Cocora — the mist, the horses, the cup of coffee that tasted like nothing I'd had before — I've thought about it almost every day since we came home."

Cartagena

"My partner sent me the 'hint' link and I booked the planning call that same night. When we arrived in Cartagena, the candlelit rooftop table was already waiting. I still don't know how they arranged it."
