During his 2003 journey to Colombia, the Monkey scaled the heights of one of Bogotá‘s resident mountains—Monserrate—to get a panoramic view of the city. Bring your binoculars!
After his kidnapping ordeal, the Monkey was able to get out and enjoy some of Bogotá‘s charm. In these shots from 2003, he explores La Candelaria, an evocative colonial district at the heart of Colombia’s capital.
El Mico meets El Libertador, or at least his retirement pad in Bogotá. These photos from the Monkey’s June 2003 trip show the lovely grounds of Simon de Bolívar’s quinta in the Colombian capital.
During his June 2003 visit to Colombia, el Mico took in the vast expanse of Plaza Bolívar, Bogotá‘s mammoth central square built along classic Spanish colonial lines (and sometime battlefield).
Volunteering makes a difference. Even an hour of volunteer work per week can help nonprofits and community causes achieve success. Why not look for a volunteer opportunity by searching Idealist.org, Global Volunteer Network, or UN Volunteers?
No time to volunteer? Even a minor donation to GlobalGiving.org can support critical projects in communities around the world.
Or why not become a microlender via Kiva.org? Lend to a person in need, and watch as they achieve their aims and repay your loan.
