CHIVAS THE COLORFUL BUSES OF COLOMBIA

Brightly-colored buses are the landmarks of many Columbian towns. They are the most important means of transport in the backcountry. Here, manufacturers attempt to rival each other not only regarding in number of passengers but also in the beauty and vivid colour scheme of every bus. The bus painters have become stars in Colombia, such as Alejandro Serna, named "El Picasso de las Chivas". In the space of 2 months he has created a masterpiece. Every new Chiva is inaugurated in its own special way - laden with people and hard liquor.
