Update roads
Just to let you know that the road situation has changed somewhat in Colombia.
Had planned to drive up to the coast - three days late due to some land slides, flooding and a collapsed bridge.
- from Bucaramanga: closed at Rionegro - you need to deviate through Barrancabermeja (that took us three hours yesterday)
- Cannot reach Santa Marta straight, need to deviate to Valledupar from San Roque (this is extra 250km!)
Both these roads were packed with trucks. Very slow.
- Road to Mompos closed (flooding) from same main road 45
- Road to Venezueluan border through Pamplona-Cucuta closed
- heard alternative road to Venz border at Ocona also closed
Make sure you check before you leave. These situations are subject to daily change I believe.
We are sleeping in Valledupar tonight. Will keep updating.
