Giulia Candussi*

For the last 3 weeks, until today, we had the significant collaboration from Giulia Candussi (Italy), a photo-journalist from La Nuova Venezia newspaper and also a freelance international photographer, who was visually covering many aspects (nature & culture) of Sugamuxi for our site, which will soon appear in the VisitSugamuxi Forum.

In her blog, she already made a good number of posts, e.g. about our Muisca culture, about Sogamoso, about coal mining, about our ruanas, about markets, about our ancient rock art, about the chircales, and many more.

From here, we want to ratify to her our gratitude for her effort and important voluntary help to VisitSugamuxi, through the link of the environmental NGO Fundación Montecito and the generous support of Hostel Finca San Pedro in Sogamoso.
