Voilà, après un mois en Colombie, il est temps de partir pour les Galapagos en Equateur. Nous avons eu l’idée de dire comment le pays a marqué nos cinq sens pour chacun de nous.

After a month in Colombia, it’s time for us to leave for the Galapagos Island in Ecuador. We thought it would be a good idea to summarise how we experienced the country with each of our 5 senses.
