How far would you go to get a cold beer? On most days, I wouldn't walk around the block, but sometimes, when it's hot, and I have a real craving, I just might go all the way down to the end of the street to the local joint, or swing through a convenience store for a cold one. Well, someone should have told Eric Hansen from Outside Magazine that he didn't have to go 7000 miles to get a drink. But after you read his latest article you'll be glad he did. Hensen set out to find an almost mythical bar called El Mirador in the wilds of Columbia, a country that is about as lawless as any place on Earth. Along the way he encounters colorful natives, mudslides, and shoot-outs. He'll travel by boat, plane, car, and on foot, just to reach a bar that sits on the beach and is lost amongst the rainforest. A bar that lives up to his hopes, but also reminds us that sometimes in life, the journey is worth destination. :) Perhaps I would go a little further for a beer next time.
And while you're over there, check out this list of the Worlds Wildest Bars.
