When I was researching accommodation in Minca, I noticed that people kept raving about the hummingbird feeders at Hotel Minca La Casona so it was an easy choice!  Circumstances made us arrive after dark but we did get a good look around early the next morning.

The one thing I would have liked is if the restaurant had been open for dinner or at least sandwiches.  We were just too tired (having woken up at 4:30am for birding) to walk into town.

Nice bird posters on the walls in the lobby/restaurant.

Rooms along an attractive corridor that also had some nice artwork.

Our room was fairly simple but functional. 

The corridors overlook some nice gardens and a swimming pool.  We had a morning walk around looking for birds.

Hummingbirds were already gathering near the feeders just outside the restaurant.  The feeders were empty so I chased up one of the workers to come fill them up. 

The hummingbirds lost no time in getting their breakfast!

We were also served breakfast (included in the rate).

But it’s more fun to watch hummingbirds eating!

The breakfast area overlooked a valley where we could see several parrot species flying through – Blue-headed Parrots & Orange-chinned Parakeets.  No Military Macaws though.

We hung around most of the morning to enjoy the birds, then had the receptionist call a taxi to take us to the airport which cost around 50-60,000 COP.  We could have saved a few pesos but taking a collectivo but that would have wasted time I would rather spend watching the birds!
