High up in the mountains of Tierradentro lies the village of San Andrés de Pisimbalá. Not just a jumping off point for exploring the underground tombs, it is also a pleasant town with a remarkable thatched roof church.
It starts to rain when we walk towards the restaurant run by our friend from the taxi, and we end up staying much longer than planned in his eatery. We end up dancing salsa, drawing stares from soldiers marching by, and playing sapo, a Colombian game in which you throw metal pieces at a big wooden cardboard with a bronze frog on top, to score points, while waiting for the rain to stop. When it finally did, we go back to the San Andrés de Pisimbalá church again and enter through the wooden doors. I was struck by the simplicity of the interior: the thick wooden beams, the small religious decorations on the walls, and the emptiness of the church. This can make even a non-religious person silent.
