This was the third weirdest thing I saw in Colombia (the top two coming soon). It is exactly what it looks like: two children moving a crate with a decapitated cow’s head inside. We were in the colonial village of Villa de Leiva when it started raining. So we ducked into a café for a coffee and saw these kids go by outside in the rain.

Not sure about the Peruvians. The last time I had horse meat was in Kazakhstan.
It must be an animal head kind of day. I was at the market and I swear I saw a donkey or horse head being sold. Do Peruvians eat horses?
