Pacaya Volcano

The Pacaya volcano it’s located in Escuintla, Amatitlan and Villa Canales, Guatemala, it’s the most active volcano in this city. The last eruption was in 2010 and all the city was over the sand and right now still sand in the streets and some places.

I’m visited a lot of times the Pacaya volcano, it’s very funny climbed it, and seen the lava, the last time when I was gone it’s in May. I was gone in my motorcycle with my friends. Other times I gone with my family too, my sisters and her husbands, my nephews, my parents, uncles, and cousins and it’s ones the best remembers in my life.

I recommended visit the National Park San Vicente Pacaya, and climbed the volcano, you need, a lot of water, comfortable snickers, cap, sunscreen, and take your time walk slowly.  It’s better if you gotten 4x4 car, one part of the way you need pass to ground.

When you gone at the top of the volcano the view it’s amazing, you seen all the city, the Agua Volcano, and the Pacific Ocean, don’t forgotten you camera, and take a lot of pictures. And you feel good when you climbed it.

MY STORY ....

I remember when i went to Puerto Rico with my sister and cousin's friends.
it was a good trip because I met a beautiful Argentinian girl and,when she was in the beach woauu ..
our bedroom was together, if i wanted anything just i knocked the door. we were  fifteen meters from the beach .So it was very pleasant , the first day everybody went to the forest and then to the beach. We walked about seven km in sandals on stones,branches of trees and saw animals. The bus went by every hour and the last one had just gone, everybody was hungry.We stayed there for one hour,when  arrived to the hotel we were very tired, took a shower and we had dinner,drunk beer and went to a night club.
 The next day we got up early, rented a bike ,went to a beach that was nearby drank beer at night, and we went to a bonfire and I stayed with the argentinian girl that was very hot. For me it was a very good experience next to the argentinian girl woauu. I love Puerto Rico, its beaches, women, everything ..I'd like to do it again !!!!

Trip to Rio Dulce, Izabal

Last year my wife and I went to Rio Dulce, Izabal.  We'd never been in such a beautiful place. The people there is very kind. You've never seen a view like this and the local food is delicious. We bought many souvenirs and visited many places throughout the riverbank.
We had sunny days and the weather was very hot. We recommend it.

Crystal Turquoise Waters

In 2005, in my third year of college, I went to a beautiful spot ,in northern Guatemala, I had heard about the crystal turquoise waters located in the department of Alta Verapaz and the waters of the river Cahabon, a place named SEMUC CHAMPEY.


In that place, one of the wonders of my country, I shared with my friends and looked closely at the nature.


That place has been sculpted by water that form pools, something interesting was to see the entrance to an underground river (the river Cahabon is divided into two, one part remains on the surface and the other enters a hole of about 4 mts. 


That was my trip in Semuc and has been the best in my life.

I visited Atomiun Brussels, it's an amazing place , this monument was created in 1958  in the Atomic Industry, I think  that t'sis the most interesting place for the people who work and study Chemistry . You can visit it in an escalator , and it has a Restaurant in one Sphere . When we stayed at the top  of the Atomic and there is good  weather you can  see All Brussels from there. It weighs 2400  tonnes and 102 meters high. I was amazed of how big it was . How small everything was compered to Atomiun.
