Minca

Today was a 1hr hike to a waterfall and back near the town of Minca. We imagined an isolated pool, but the reality was backpacker central. It also didn't help that it wasn't our first stop as planned. It meant that the weather was already getting hot, and whilst it wasn't packed, it was far from isolated. On the plus side we racked up 15000 steps and had a beautiful dip in the waterfall's pool. During our travels south of Medellin we hardly saw a foreign tourist. It seems they were all in Minca!

After lunch we drove for 90 minutes to our non-air-conditioned eco lodge which will be home for the next 3 nights. The welcome was incredibly warm especially from the 4 lodge Rhodesian Ridgebacks! I don't think the reception lady has seen a family so excited to see Ridgebacks before. The place is fascinating: between the beach, a river, a jungle covered cliff and a freeway! The grounds are beautiful. Hopefully the weather is too.En savoir plus
