You leave Bogotá before the city has fully shaken off its morning fog, the taxi weaving past ceramic-tiled houses and fields that open like a curtain. Two hours later the air is warmer and the valley has a different voice: rivers daring you, cliffs that press close, and the carved channels that make Tobía a natural playground for anything that moves fast and wants to get wet.
