🌍🇨🇴 From Kyoto to Osaka to Zipaquirá: proud to see Colombia at the World Expo 2025.

A few weeks ago, it was an honor to step into the Colombian pavilion at the World Expo Osaka 2025 @colombiaexpo @expo_osaka . The Expo is always a spectacle in itself, but this time it was deeply moving to see Gabriel García Márquez’s butterflies floating across the pavilion’s sky—and especially to watch Japanese children touching and feeling Zipaquirá salt, the same salt from the spectacular Salt Cathedral in the small town where I was born.

None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary work of ProColombia and the Embassy of Colombia in Japan, showcasing the best of our country to the world.

A special thanks to Juan Gómez Alvarado, Commercial Counsellor and Director @procolombiaco in Japan, for facilitating my visit and inspiring conversations with Ambassador Gustavo Makanaky.

And of course, gratitude to @luminarium.io and @carocastillav , whose IVS Kyoto 2025 tour made this encounter possible.

Colombia not only exports coffee—it also builds resilience, talent, culture, and sensations carved in magic salt.

Criminal financing of politics cannot be reduced to an accounting offense or an illicit campaign contribution.

The central question is whether resources and networks from criminal economies enter political competition to influence, capture, co-opt or reconfigure public functions.

Our joint research with Transparencia por Colombia examines why Colombia’s current administrative and criminal categories fall short, and proposes a distinct response based on traceability, early detection, integrated investigation and territorial capacity.

A Zen garden that isn’t Zen.
Two mountains of sand, pointing to a sacred mountain.
A Shinto shrine breathing through water.
An Inari path disappearing into the woods.
Peace made of water and white sand.

Kamigamo, Kyoto.

Came for a quick matcha. Stayed for the spectacular art, the music, and the nicest baristas in Kyoto (Thank you, Yasu!).
@tsuruyabansoh_sanjo_hanare -located in Sanjo-kai- is one of those tiny places that make Kyoto feel endless.

After midnight, in the rain, without a soul, Fushimi Inari doesn’t feel empty.

Portals are always crowded, no matter how empty.
