Exploding Tradition: How Colombia's Tejo Keeps Ancient Bonds Alive

火药铁圈:哥伦比亚的古老友谊运动

B2人文253 词约 1 分钟

On any Friday in a small Colombian town, beneath tin roofs and string lights, you can hear it: a sharp crack, followed by laughter. This is tejo, a game that mixes ancient skill with a modern taste for beer and explosions.

Tejo originated with the Muisca people, who tossed golden discs for sport. Spanish colonizers replaced gold with iron and later introduced gunpowder-filled targets, creating a uniquely Colombian pastime. Today, it’s played across the country, especially in the Andes, where family-run courts welcome all.
