Minca. A small town in the middle of the jungle, yet only an hour's drive from the coast. It's not just the natural beauty that's appealing, but also the somewhat more pleasant nighttime temperatures of just over 20 degrees Celsius.

After a few weeks in the Colombian highlands, we now want to head towards the Caribbean coast. Micha, in particular, has been looking forward to the sea for months.

Our next destination is Jardín, one of Colombia's most important bird sanctuaries. We've heard from several fellow travelers that it's supposed to be very beautiful here. Micha is particularly keen to photograph the endemic Andean cock-of-the-rock – at least that one.
