Did a flight in Columbia this aft/evening. Thought I'd mention it here. Decided to land at Tres Esquinas (SKTQ). Noticed clouds building up as I neared the airport. ATC guided me in IFR but when they got me in close and asked me to make a visual (no ILS) I couldn't. I decided to try another airport, back north from where I had come from as it was clear weather back that way. Sure enough, as I flew north the weather cleared. I cancelled IFR and went VFR. Closest airport was about 75 miles north, Gustavo Artunduaga P (SKFL). What a beauty of an airport to land! Tower told me to land using right traffic on 11. A nice challenge, not real hard, but a fast enough descent to make it exhillarating. Maybe some of you have already landed there. If not, give it a try. Least I thought it was a nice way to end the flight.

Haven't done one flight south of USA. Only Europe, US, and Canada. I'll have to try it.Was it snowing? Did you take home some candy? ;-)
