Top 5 Things You Won’t Believe About South and Central America

Aside from the natural and man-made wonders you’ll find in Latin America, there are some experiences and facts about living here that will just confound you.
Top 5 Things You Won’t Believe About South and Central America
- 1. Get shot wearing bullet proof clothing, Bogota – pay Bogota’s Miguel Caballero, the ‘Armani of bulletproof clothing’, and the clother of international politicians, drug barons and the Colombian Military (to name a few) a small sum to try out his bullet proof clothing with real bullets being fired at you (do not wear a Mankini!)
- 2. San Pedro Prison, Bolivia – get a tour inside the prison by the prisoners seeing how they have to buy their cells, get to live with their families and set up prison businesses to survive. Oh, and get offered cocaine from the factory inside
- 3. Cocaine factory, Colombia – see how coca leaves are turned into cocaine paste in the foothills of northern Colombia
- 4. Running of the bulls in Granada, Nicaragua – if you thought Pampalona was crazy then you haven’t seen anything! 6 bulls running at once with no safety precautions. This year five people and one horse died. I had the Mankini on under my clothes but am glad I didn’t bust it out!
- 5. Ruta 36 (known as Route 36 to backpackers), Bolivia – go to a bar that serves you cocaine on CD cases … oh, and drinks
As a note I’d like to say that I don’t advocate the taking of drugs. However I recognise that drugs are a part of some countries past and some countries present and either way are facinating to an inquisitive traveller like me.

What….I had no idea they did a running of the bulls in Nicaragua. They also have bull fighting there but I missed that as well.
