Reviewed By Colombia-road-travel - Medellin, Colombia
So traveling in my car south down Route 45 from Santa Marta returning to my home in Medellin, my good friend who is born and raised in Medellin shouted, as were approaching the turn-off to Aracataca to "Turn Right" - I had no idea why he wanted to stop for but soon realized when we pulled up to this museum/home of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I enjoyed the stop and visit to the museum but it was only later that my Colombian friend gave me the whole history behind this writer, he is despised by most Colombians for a variety of reasons including his political views and his lack of concern for his homeland (ie there was a reason why he lived in Mexico when he passed) but regardless the stop to this museum was a good place to stretch my legs before continuing the drive to my home in Medellin. All this aside yes if your in the area and you enjoy his books do stop for a visit.
