Gaviotas, Colombia . . . Part I
Monday, March 22nd, 2010On Tuesday of last week, I traveled to the legendary (modern) settlement of Gaviotas in southeastern Colombia. Our group left Bogota in a small military transport, and one hour latter we landed on a grass-covered runway. Gaviotas, located in the watershed of the Orinoco River, is a massive forestation project that is designed to support a self-sustaining populous.
