#green Jungle views in Minca, Colombia
The tranquility in this deeply green area with its present and softly bubbling bamboo, ’Guadua’ is it called, its unique flowers and loaded bio-divers eco system made me completely speechless. I had a great time hiking in Minca and I am going back for sure!
I went to ’Pozo Azul’ (45 min by foot), a wonderful melting pot of water channels streaming down from the Sierra Nevada mountains. The water was clear but also very refreshing. I jumped in and swam around, enjoyed the silence and inhaled the peaceful vibe.
