Hello fellow stackers and travel lovers.
I recently found myself on a short trip back to my homeland. (One week)
And of the many unforeseen events that usually occur when traveling by road, this time I had this one.
Road closed due to landslide caused by rain.
While crossing Colombia, I encountered a road closure. We stopped at exactly 5:30 AM because traffic was completely blocked. And the blockage lasted until approximately 10:00 AM.
As we can see in the images, the rocks were even larger than an average person, relative to their height, and in width, some were the dimensions of a small car.
Aside from the 4 hours I lost in the blockage, I was very surprised to see how the problem was solved.
While I was stuck in the traffic jam, I got out of the vehicle and started talking to other people in the same situation. Those locals (Colombians) told me that I just had to wait for the government to send an excavator to move the debris. Then something incredible happened, and something that was the reason I was able to get out of there faster. I was able to move forward thanks to a group of workers and truck drivers who got out of their respective vehicles and began moving the rocks with shovels and pipes for leverage, a situation that couldn't have been easy. After approximately four hours, we were able to continue the journey, thanks to these hard workers.
Has this or something similar happened to you on a road trip?
Has a landslide blocked your road?
