Reportaje de Gonzalo Bueno En Colombia, explico para los lectores de otras tierras, los días festivos generalmente se trasladan al lunes siguiente. Pero ciertas fechas, por su trascendental connotación, son inamovibles. Eso ocurrió el jueves 20 de Julio pasado, Día de la Independencia. Y ese corte festivo en mitad de semana genera un “puente” que … More Orocué del Carajo!
Gham Power Short from Mateo Bueno on Vimeo. When I chose to travel to Nepal, I searched for impact-driven non-profit organizations or individuals who could benefit from having a marketing video to share their story. I ended up connecting with Gham Power through a friend in the solar industry. They are not a non-profit, but … More Nepal Video: Gham Power
Reportaje de Mateo Bueno The lowland of the Chitwan region gives you a very different flavor of Nepal. Compared to the Himalayan region 100 miles north, Chitwan is a savannah with dense vegetation that borders the rivers where you can still spot wild rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and tigers. Its also hot as F. This time … More Nepal Day 7: Chitwan and Sapana
Reportaje de Mateo Bueno I’ve decided to make some changes to the trip. I won’t be traveling with Gham power to the east of the country per the original plan to shoot a village powered by their solar microgrid system. I can’t fathom another entry and exit out of Kathmandu on a bus or jeep … More Nepal Day 6: Besisahar to Chitwan
Reportaje de Mateo Bueno 8AM. Hike down from Upper Pissang to Pissang to pick up the motorcycle. Halfway from Pissang to Besisahar I get the news. I’m eating a mixed veggie curry lunch for 300 ruppies ($3) when the guesthouse owner comes out to share: “No road to Besisahar. Landslice.” “Landslide?” “Yes. Landslice. Two. No … More Nepal Day 5: Pissang to Besisahar
Reportaje de Mateo Bueno I’ve ridden through the Andes and part of the Rockies. I’ve seen mountains in the past. The Himalaya are in a league of their own. There are multiple moments when you are riding your bike, minding your own biking business, and you happen to look up to the mountain. You tilt … More Nepal Day 4: Manang to Upper Pissang
Reportaje de Mateo Bueno The route from Besisahar to Manang – the eastern section of the Annapurna circuit – is fairly representative of the rapid transformation that Nepal is undergoing. For better or for worse, this mutation is happening – from an indigenous, agricultural, collective-minded and radically self-reliant culture into one that is entrepreneurial and … More Nepal Day 3: Besisahar to Manang
Reportaje de Mateo Bueno Riding a motorcycle in Nepal had been a dream ever since I had the chance to ride in India. In India, every kilometer you venture north of Delhi seems to get more desolate, hospitable, welcoming, and magical. I had always imagined both Tibet and Nepal as the epitomy of that zenfulness … More Nepal Day 2: Kathmandu to Besisahar
En los próximos días publicaremos una serie de crónicas del viaje que está efectuando Mateo Bueno por Nepal y los Himalayas.
