Andes: Recinto del Pensamiento

I went on a recent roadtrip with my dad along Colombia’s Central Andes in hopes of finding and photographing some of the region’s wildlife, particularly birds. Travelling south from Medellin, we stopped at several places like Recinto del Pensamiento, a hotel and convention centre outside Manizales where the community has been able to learn about conservation and nature.

Viajando hacia el sur desde Medellín, paramos en varios lugares como el Recinto del Pensamiento, un hotel y centro de convenciones en las afueras de Manizales, donde la comunidad ha podido aprender sobre la conservación y la naturaleza.
