Un país incomprendido

Abstract

The image contains a news story about J. Steuart who continues recounting his experience in Bogotá and its surroundings. He mentions an incident where a keeper stopped an elephant on a ranch. He also recounts a dinner hosted by Mr. Gooding and the curiosity of the locals to search for treasures buried by the Spanish in old houses. Steuart travels with a group of people, including a French doctor and a brother of General Herrera, who speaks English very well. The river trip is complicated by a lack of boats and the refusal of a local merchant named Agudelo to provide boats. Finally, the group finds lodging at Mr. Triffrey's house for a week due to all the difficulties encountered along the way. In summary, the text continues to explore the adventures and challenges of J. Steuart on his trip through Colombia, including encounters with locals, transportation challenges, and interaction with other travelers.
