Today we visited a little mountain town called El Valle. It was cooler than in Gorgona because of the altitude but not so cool that we needed long sleeves.
We visited an interesting church, located on the far side of town. This is a good place to turn around because there is really no town left after this point.
While in El Valle, we visited the zoo which started out as an animal rescue facility. Interest and well worth the $2 or $3 dollar price of admission (I forget exactly how much).

It was hard to take pictures because just about every animal was in a cage. This is one of the few unobstructed pictures.
Interesting rock placements (this is part of the zoo).
El Valle is definitely worth visiting and the zoo is very impressive. The zoo is hard to find and the road is bad but worth the trip. On the way out of town, turn left at the police station and follow the road and you will arrive at the zoo.
In the center of town there was also a nice little craft area where you can purchase souvenirs.
In the evening we had dinner at Rincon del Chef, an interesting restaurant in Coronado. Turn off the Panamerican Highway at El Rey heading towards the Pacific and it is about 1/4 to 1/2 km on the right. The Salmon with Pesto was probably the best Salmon I have ever had. Seriously, you have to try it.
