An Unforgettable Trip to the Coffee Region

Marta is a fourteen-year-old student from Bogotá who has lived in Colombia all her life. However, she had never travelled to the Coffee Triangle until last month. While she was walking through the Cocora Valley, she saw the giant wax palms for the first time. Suddenly, it started to rain and her family ran to a nearby eco-lodge.

Have You Ever Finished a Series in One Weekend?

«I have just finished the whole season,» writes Daniel. «Eight episodes in two days. My eyes hurt.»

«That's nothing,» answers Laura. «I have watched that series three times. And I have never skipped the intro.»

Mateo has a different problem. He has downloaded the series, but he hasn't started it yet. «I have been busy since Monday,» he writes.

They have all played the same game since 2023, but nobody has finished it. «Have you ever reached the last level?» asks Daniel. Nobody answers.

Some things have changed. Their parents have watched three episodes with them — and now they ask for the password.
