Last summer I went to Verapaces

Last summer I went to Verapaces, I visited a lot of places, among them, the Biotopo Mario Dary Rivera nature reserve, commonly called the Biotopo del Quetzal, it’s a rainy and cloudy forest. In the reserve there have been identified at least 58 species of fauna, it is difficult to observe it all. The reserve has a visitor’s center, a little shop for drinks and snacks, and a camping and barbecue area.
The Biotopo has two nature trails, the 1800m Sendero los Helechos and the 3600m Sendero los Musgos. Both go near a waterfall. I had been this place when I was 8, but didn’t remember how beautiful it was.

After that, I went to Salto de Chilasco, I had heard about this place, but I had never been there, when I arrived to the village I had to rent a horse; the trip was really fun. When the horse came the path, I had to walk a lot until we got to the Chilasco waterfall, I had never been so tired, but I've never forgotten this vacation, because I had the opportunity to share with my parents.
