Acacias is about 130km away from Bogota with the daily average temperature ranging from 22°C to 32°C. It’s another perfect place to get away from the cold weather in Bogota, as well as eating Mamona, the typical flavour of the Meta. Besides Mike and I, his works colleague, Phil also joined us in this four days three nights trip.
