Day at Barú

Today we went to the island of Barú. Juan's best childhood friend, Juan Camilo, has a bed & breakfast there, right on the beach. It was adorable, I loved the place and the decorations. We had a delicious shrimp rice and plantain chips prepared for us for lunch. And I got to collect some beautiful seashells. The beach was FULL of shells, I literally could've scooped them up in handfuls...so I had to be picky (due to luggage space), but I got a couple handfuls. Nearby is an aviario (aviary - bird sanctuary), and we went there before lunch. The place was amazing. It's newly built, and gigantic! Inside was all of Colombia's native birds. In some areas, the birds were flying and walking around with us. My favorites were the tucans. They're such a colorful, beautiful bird. I also loved the flamingos. Although, the entire place was fantastic, and full of pretty, unique birds that I'd never seen before. Great experience.En savoir plus
