Santa Bárbara, is the name of the mountain, the chapel and the viewpoint that I will present today. This place is located in a municipality in the state of Cundinamarca called, Villa de San Diego de Ubaté 95 km north of the Colombian capital. From this site you can see the valley of Ubaté in a panoramic way.
"Tómame una foto como si estuviera viendo al horizonte"
("Take me a picture as if I were looking at the horizon"): This trip to the hill of Santa Barbara is very short, it is less than 30 minutes on foot. In its surroundings there is a beautiful ecological park and stairways, where we are always in contact with nature. With only 10 minutes of walking, you can see a large part of the town.
Once we reached the top, we found the Chapel of Santa Barbara, of colonial architecture, which was built on the hill that bears the same name more than 200 years ago. Today, the Eucharist is still celebrated but very eventually.
Tradition tells that Agustín de Vanegas was the creator of this chapel as a form of offering. According to the story:
"He was sick and always remained in his bed. One day, in the middle of a storm, he left his bedroom, and as a lightning he fell into his bed, collapsing everything behind him, saving himself from death, in an attitude of gratitude he built this chapel. "
One of the best moments was to see my mother's face of satisfaction, having reached the goal. She was one of my companions to this tour and I was very happy because, as I have told you before, I had not seen her for more than two years, after having emigrated.
Mi madre está conmigo por muy poco, solo vino de vacaciones, sin embargo, la estoy disfrutando cada segundo. Más adelante saldrá un videoblog con ella para que la conozcan mejor.
She is the reason why I left my country, to give her a better life, and I had the need to go out with her and see her face of satisfaction when knowing other landscapes, breathing new air and disconnecting from the reality of a country ruined.
My mother is with me for very little, she only came on vacation, however, I am enjoying her every second. Later a videoblog with her will come out so that they know her better.
