This is the COLANTA truck, a dairy company from Medellin. I saw it for the first time in Santa Marta and its horn is “muuu” (how do you say in english?) It’s a wonderful way to make advertising. Do you know this song?: “Tengo una vaca lechera, no es una vaca cualquieeera”

Despulpadora de Café
An old “despulpadora” of coffee that I found in a farm near to Bucaramanga. The smell of the coffee farms is unique and you can’t forget it never (It’s very different to roasted coffe). The flower in the background is a “platanillo flower”, a beautiful heliconia flower..
P.S: A “despulpadora” is a coffee processing mill, but I think that it sounds better in spanish, what do you think?
