Tequendama Falls: a leap to the beyond
Located 30 km from Bogotá, Salto del Tequendama is a 157-meter waterfall whose natural beauty contrasts with the chilling stories that surround it.

Locals say that the jump exerts a fatal attraction, leading people to jump into the void.
Furthermore, a nearby mansion, now converted into a museum, is the epicenter of strange events: from appearances of decapitated figures to sounds of fighting.
It is said that a nun who died accidentally at the site continues to roam its surroundings, and her laments can be heard to this day.
Gorgona Prison: a death sentence
35 km from the Pacific Coast of Cauca, is the island of Gorgona natural paradise that once housed a feared maximum security prison.

It is believed that the souls of the prisoners still roam among the ruins. Today’s visitors report mysterious shadows and the feeling of being watched or held back by some invisible force.
