After At the same time harvest season we choose the plant fertilizing many >> this is for the fertilizers >> the banana trees is fertilizing and it's fertilizing very rich in nitrogen and potassium the other compos yeah the skin of coffee the sawdust saw and magnesium from the seed mango can after we need do the disintegration disintegration is by bread this is the material process of bread yeah this is one part of the fertilizer the compressed fertilizer is 75% of this material and other 25 in phosphatus right >> the phosphorus phosates phosphat okay the majority of phosphates is combinated with other product for example how many product >> this is a compost thing [music] so how they do it they do a lot of the banana thing and then lot of the >> you know in Spanish is called granul like to fertilize in >> but the organic material The biomass the product with biological activities in the underground in the hole they like to for growing. >> So they when [music] they started they put the organic fertilizers. >> China have one biomass in the hole one and in the whole fertilize the plant. >> This is a compost size. So they put the different kind of thing or saying the all organic like when [music] they start first because the pressure in the airplane is this is one problem. Look at there produce a smell.

Hey everyone! 🌟 Welcome to Reza On The Journey! I’m super excited to have you join me as I share my adventure from Santa Marta to Minca. We took a Taxi from Santa Marta to Minca, and from there we took a motorbike deep into the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to visit the stunning Pozo Azul waterfall. The waterfall was spectacular, and it was a beautiful spot where people were swimming and relaxing.

We then traveled further into the mountains to a coffee plantation called La Victoria. We spent a few hours there and took a guided tour of the farm. Our tour guide provided an extensive overview, and we had the chance to taste the coffee grown right on the plantation.

On our way back to Minca, we were treated to the sight of a beautiful cloud-covered mountain, which made
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (English: Snow-Covered Mountain Range of Saint Martha) is an isolated mountain range in northern Colombia, separate from the Andes, which run through the north of the country. Reaching an elevation of 5,700 m (18,700 ft) just 42 km (26 mi) from the Caribbean coast, the Sierra Nevada is the highest coastal range in the tropics, and one of the highest coastal ranges in the world, being 250 metres (820 ft) shorter than the Saint Elias Mountains in Canada. The Sierra Nevada encompasses about 17,000 km2 (6,600 sq mi) and serves as the source of 36 rivers. The range is in the Departments of Magdalena, Cesar, and La Guajira.

The highest point of the Sierra Nevada group (and Colombia in general) may be either Pico Cristóbal Colón or Pico Simón Bolívar, both in the municipalities of Santa Marta and Aracataca; it has yet to be determined which is higher. SRTM data and local topographic maps indicate their accurate elevations are approximately 5,700 m (18,700 ft), lower than the 5,775 m (18,947 ft) elevation often quoted.
The next morning, we headed inland toward the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — the highest coastal mountain range in the world. In less than 45 minutes, the climate transforms from tropical beach to lush mountain jungle.”
Our journey through Santa Marta and the Sierra Nevada was filled with waterfalls, mountain trails, and the warm spirit of Colombia. And this is only the beginning — next, we explore Parque Tayrona and the coastline. Stay tuned, and thank you for joining us.”

Experience the incredible journey from Bogotá to Santa Marta, Colombia — from Caribbean coastlines to the breathtaking mountains of the Sierra Nevada. In this episode, we explore the charming town of Minca, swim in the Pozo Azul waterfall, and tour the historic La Victoria Coffee Plantation.
This video captures the beauty, culture, and adventure that make northern Colombia truly unforgettable.
