我在麦德林度过了几天，感受到了这座城市独特的魅力，但是现在我渴望探索更多未知的地方，于是我决定前往距离麦德林南部约3小时车程的小镇Jardín。
During my days in Medellín, I soaked in the unique charm of the city, but now I thirsted for exploring more unknown places. So, I decided to head to the small town of Jardín, about a 3-hour drive south of Medellín.
我在青旅了解到了前往Jardín的交通方式，被告知最便捷的方式是搭乘公共大巴。于是我收拾好背包，准备出发。在阳光灿烂的清晨，我走出旅馆，漫步在麦德林的街头，呼吸着新鲜的空气，感受着这座城市的活力。
At the hostel, I learned about the transportation options to Jardín and was told that the most convenient way was by taking a public bus. I packed my backpack and got ready to embark on my journey. Stepping out of the hostel on a sunny morning, I strolled through the streets of Medellín, breathing in the fresh air and feeling the vibrancy of the city.
我来到了麦德林的南站，购买了前往Jardín的车票。车站里人来人往，热闹非凡，我感受到了哥伦比亚人的热情和友好。很快，一辆颜色鲜艳的大巴停在了站台上，我跃跃欲试地登上了车，开始了我的Jardín之旅。
Arriving at the southern terminal of Medellín, I purchased a ticket for Jardín. The station buzzed with activity, and I felt the warmth and friendliness of the Colombian people. Soon, a brightly colored bus pulled into the platform, and I eagerly boarded, beginning my journey to Jardín.
大巴缓缓驶出了麦德林，沿着蜿蜒的山路向南驶去。车窗外是一片郁郁葱葱的山林，远处的群山若隐若现，风景如画。我靠在座位上，闭上了眼睛，感受着微风拂过脸颊，心情愉悦而宁静。
The bus slowly departed from Medellín, winding its way south along mountainous roads. Outside the window, lush forests stretched out, with distant mountains peeking through, creating picturesque scenery. Leaning back in my seat, I closed my eyes, feeling the breeze brush against my cheeks, my mood peaceful and content.
途中，大巴经过了一些小村庄和农田，我看到了哥伦比亚乡村的风土人情。农民们在田间劳作，牛羊悠闲地吃着青草，一切都是那么宁静祥和。我不时地拿出相机，记录下这些美丽的风景，留作纪念。
Along the way, the bus passed through small villages and farmland, offering glimpses of rural Colombian life. Farmers worked in the fields, while cattle and sheep grazed leisurely, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. I occasionally took out my camera, capturing the beauty of the landscapes as souvenirs.
时间过得很快，转眼间已经过去了几个小时。我感受到车辆开始慢慢颠簸，路况变得崎岖起来，这意味着我们已经接近了Jardín。我的心情愈发兴奋，期待着即将到来的探险之旅。
Time flew by, and before I knew it, several hours had passed. I sensed the vehicle starting to bump and sway, indicating that we were nearing Jardín. My excitement grew as I anticipated the adventures awaiting me.
终于，大巴缓缓停在了Jardín的车站，我跃跃欲试地走下车，来到这个充满魅力的小镇。Jardín迎接我的是一片宁静和祥和，与繁华的麦德林完全不同。这里的街道狭窄而干净，建筑色彩斑斓，处处散发着浓厚的南美风情。
Finally, the bus slowly pulled into Jardín’s station, and I eagerly stepped off, arriving in this charming town. Jardín welcomed me with tranquility and serenity, a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Medellín. The narrow and clean streets were lined with colorful buildings, exuding a strong South American charm.
我找到了一家舒适的小旅馆，将行李放好，便开始了我的Jardín之旅。我沿着小镇的街道漫步，感受着这里的独特氛围。顺便也在这里找个餐厅吃午饭，街边的咖啡馆和餐厅里传来阵阵欢笑声，街头的小贩们在摆摊售卖各种商品，一切都是那么生机勃勃。
I found a cozy hostel, settled my luggage, and began my exploration of Jardín. I wandered along the town’s streets, looking for a restaurant for lunch, soaking in its unique atmosphere. Laughter filled the air from cafes and restaurants, while street vendors sold various goods, infusing the town with vitality.
我决定先去探索Jardín的主要景点——La Plaza，这是一个宽敞而美丽的广场，周围是精美的彩色建筑和茂密的树木。我在广场上闲逛，欣赏着周围的风景，感受着这里的宁静和悠闲。
Deciding to start with Jardín’s main attraction, La Plaza, I found myself in a spacious and beautiful square surrounded by exquisite colorful buildings and lush trees. I leisurely strolled around the square, admiring the scenery and embracing the tranquility and leisureliness of the place.
接下来，我来到了Jardín的著名景点——Cascada del Amor（爱之瀑布）。我沿着一条小径徒步前行，很快就听到了远处传来的水流声。当我终于来到瀑布前时，被眼前的景象所震撼。高耸的瀑布从山上倾泻而下，水流冲击着岩石，溅起一片雾气，宛如天上仙境般美丽。
我站在瀑布前，感受着清凉的水雾拂过脸颊，心情无比愉悦。
Next, I visited Jardín’s famous attraction, Cascada del Amor (Waterfall of Love). Following a trail, I soon heard the distant sound of rushing water. Upon reaching the waterfall, I was awestruck by the sight before me. The towering waterfall cascaded down from the mountains, splashing against rocks and creating a misty spectacle, reminiscent of a heavenly paradise. Standing before the waterfall, I felt the cool mist brushing against my cheeks, filling me with immense joy.
下午时分，我来到了Jardín附近的一座咖啡庄园，参加了一次咖啡品鉴活动。我学习了咖啡的种植、加工和烘焙过程，品尝了各种不同口味的咖啡，领略了哥伦比亚咖啡的独特魅力。这是一次充满教育意义和趣味性的体验，让我对咖啡有了更深的了解和欣赏。
In the afternoon, I visited a coffee plantation near Jardín and participated in a coffee-tasting activity. I learned about the cultivation, processing, and roasting of coffee, sampled various flavors, and experienced the unique charm of Colombian coffee. It was an educational and enjoyable experience that deepened my understanding and appreciation for coffee.
夜幕降临，我返回了旅馆，整理好行装，准备第二天返回麦德林。我坐在窗前，看着窗外星星点点的灯光，回想起今天的探险之旅，心中充满了满足和喜悦。第二天一大早，我走出旅馆，来到Jardín的车站，等待着返回麦德林的大巴。车辆准时到达，我登上了车，眺望着窗外，回想起在Jardín的美好时光。麦德林到Jardín的背包之旅让我感受到了哥伦比亚独特的魅力和风情。从热闹的城市到宁静的小镇，我领略了不同地区的风土人情，收获了许多美好的回忆和体验。
As night fell, I returned to the hostel, reflecting on the day’s adventures with satisfaction and joy. The next morning, I headed back to Medellín, sitting by the window, reminiscing about the wonderful time I had in Jardín. My backpacking journey from Medellín to Jardín allowed me to experience the unique charm and atmosphere of Colombia. From the bustling city to the tranquil town, I encountered different cultures and landscapes, creating cherished memories and experiences.
