More Colombia Circa 1959






You have to love this.

What to wear: "The typical garment for Colombians of both sexes is the ruana, particularly appropriate for cold climates. Straw hats in different shapes, sizes and colours and generally used by the natives in warm climates."

This marketing from the late 1950s is simply beautiful. If only we could go back to those wonderful days when the world was this simple and nobody had ever heard of Colombia.

"....tell your friends to come to Colombia. We are still relatively new to the outsider, yet we have rich, unforgettable experiences to offer to the traveller."
