One morning we walked down the street, across a dusty dirt road, and waited by the side of a highway for the bus, which we rode into Cali. As we waited for Mario and Patricia to pick us up, we had coffee at an eatery in the bus terminal, walked around for a little bit, and then waited some more - traffic was terrible, Mario said.
We drove through the city of Cali until we reached the Cali Zoo, where we had a lot of fun touring. It was so much better than any American zoo I had ever been to, especially because most of the animals there were naturally found in Colombia or neighboring South American countries. The mixture of natural flora and fauna was beautiful. Flamingos, iguanas wondering the paths freely, monkeys, turtles, colorful birds, reptiles and fish, alligators, bears, and so many more!
After the zoo Mario drove us up into the mountains where we could see the expanse of Cali in the distant valley. Up there in the mountains it was cooler and felt much more like Guatemala. It was so very beautiful!
