  • Going to the Beach, Ecuador.

    Going to the Beach, Ecuador.

     

    Going to the beach in Ecuador is more than that, is going to see how the Sun goes Down giving different colors to the sky and enjoying a relax and familiar, friends, love or lonely time to think.

    The coast are in the Pacific Ocean, many people travel in bicycle many hours just to go and relax there.

    The beach is an hour and a half from the city of Guayaquil, where I live, is relatively close, is very quiet and the food is lovely, there are hammocks where you can lie down in a cottage next to the restaurant or you can go closer to the sea and rent a tent for the amount of people they are.

    The beaches that have been in Ecuador are:

    – Playas, which has a large beach and is very quiet , it is much more familiar than any beach .

    Playas

    – Salinas, is on the peninsula of Ecuador, is a much more youthful, although it is for families too. In Salinas you can see more parties, clubs, bars and nightlife in the Salinas Malecon , normally people do a walk on the boardwalk and rest of the night, anything.

    Salinas

    – Mompiche , here is the Royal Decameron Mompiche , which is very nice , it’s nice and elegant with activities for people of all ages and very beautiful bedrooms , you can go kayaking, scuba diving , among other activities.

    Mompiche

    There are many beautiful beaches in Ecuador , I wouldn’t change any Ecuadorian beach for another one in other places of the world, they must have very beautiful beaches but none as ours, cause when you go to the beaches of Galapagos and step on the long soft white sand, everything is different from the point of view, you will see that your nothing compare to that beautiful and peaceful place, that happened to me, the first and second time I went there. You can swim in the sea and find turtles and more than anything marine wolves

    . I go regularly to the beach and I know that more has captivated people around the world is, Montañita.

    -Montañita, I went a few times to be honest but the few times I have been I notice that is very funny and is a much quieter place , usually go youth who walk through the world and come to a new place that I doubt they find elsewhere, hotels in Montañita  are very cheap that’s why I thinks many people go there, the food is very good too like any other cheach in Ecuador, you can buy many souvenirs , watch surfers , people swimming , hippies , many people from other countries , rather than Ecuador itself. It’s funny because as soon you step Montañita you feel the smell of weed everywhere, so consider it a place for adults or young people going to have fun or spend time on the beach, is not a familiar place.

    Montañita

    Food in Ecuador is just amazing, I know I said this many times but is because is true, I always hear  things like “I miss Ecuador food”, you should try our food here, I guarantee that you will say the same thing.

  • Tulum, the Hidden Paradise

    Tulum, the Hidden Paradise

    If you want to relax, have a great time and have a memorable holiday Tulum will be the right place. You can explore the archeaological zones and the mayan culture, you can enjoy and admire the beautiful caribbean sea and the nicest beach clubs, and don’t forget the warm friendly people.

    The first time I went to Tulum was an incredible trip that I enjoyed with some friends from Cancun. We rented a van and head to the hidden Paradise, it was a 2 hour drive, we were really anxious to reach our destination. We arrived to Tulum hotel zone to a hotel named “Papaya playa Project” its an incredible place to stay, you can choose a private house, a rustic cabin, a beachfront cabin and more. Me and my friends stayed in a beachfront cabin (the most requested “cabaña” type at Papaya Playa) so we had an awesome view of the carribbean sea. We had an outdoor terrance to enjoy the view with two hammocks and lounge furniture, on the inside of our cabin we had 2 double beds and a private bathroom, we paid around 160 USD for one night for the 4 of us with breakfast included! Also it included wifi at the front desk if needed.

    Once we get our cabin we put our bathing suits and head to the “Papaya beach club” . We enjoy typical beach activities while being served some really nice seafood and nice cocktails, accompanied the best music from the extensive playlists of the resident DJs. We spent all day at the beach club having a blast, dancing and partying and we met awesome friendly people!

    When the sun went down we decided to go to our cabin and rest so we can go back to the beach club área later because there was a late night event involving live gigs and sets played by a major-league DJ. We rested about an hour and then we went for something to eat beacause we were starving. We ate a simple burger and fries which was delicious and then we went to enjoy the event. We spent all night dancing, having some drinks and meeting new people. I remember we went to sleep around 6 am . Time flies when you´re having fun people!!

    IMG_0315

    Unfortunately we couldn´t stay one more night but if we had been able we would have stayed without question. It was an awesome experience and an incredible magical place. If anyone have the oportunity to visit Tulum please do so you wont regret it!

  • An Endless Ecuador

    An Endless Ecuador

    You can travel around Ecuador easily, well here we have beach in the coast, volcanoes in the mountains, jungles of the Amazon with the greatest biodiversity in the world, and the Galapagos Island, a magical place where you can swim with sea lions, turtles, sharks, etc.

    This time I’ll tell you about how amazing the Mountains of Ecuador is, where is the route of the volcanoes in the Andes, which covers all of South America from Venezuela to Corona de Fuego between Chile and Argentina.

    Cuenca, capital of Azuay province a place full of mountains, natural lakes in the mountains, animals that inhabit the area.

    The Cajas National Park, where are more than 170 lagoons, which create an incredible landscape from the road, where 3km further on is the Laguna La Toreadora, if you travel by land observing the landscape, it is located 5 hours of Guayaquil on the coast, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius which creates an very nice atmosphere .

     

    I made this trip with the group of Tourism at my university, was an organized trip between students and the teacher, a person who really knows the country more than anyone I know. She traveled around the country in an effort to learn more about what it’s like tourism, she even lived in a community in the Amazon with the Shuar tribe, but she had to leave the community after six months on the Jivaro belief.

    While we were on our way towards basin along the road right next to the Cordillera Chongon Colonche one of the mountain ranges located in the Coast Ecuador, you could see that gradually the landscape and vegetation was taking different forms and engaging the temperature which is increasingly going down slowly and suddenly you could see that we were enveloped by mountains and colossal landscapes who sincerely draw attention when you’re.

    On a sunny day, if you stopped very intently on a clear day you could see what far the Chimborazo volcano, the volcano and the highest mountain of Ecuador, and the further from the center point on earth.

    Once we got to Cuenca we went straight to find a hotel in which we could staying since we had booked did not receive our confirmation voucher, find a hotel near the Cathedral of Cuenca, a very quiet and nice budget priced place, had hot water, cable TV, the lobby looks very nice and elegant, included breakfast which was scrambled eggs, bread, milk, coffee, juice, fruits, jams, etc.

    In the evening we strolled through the city, which has many excellent churches and colonial streets, very close to everything. A group of students was partying, another group just wanted to eat something and enjoy a quiet night and that’s Basin can do a little of everything.

    The next day we all met for breakfast in the hotel restaurant to visit the Mirador El Turi where you can see the whole city as it is surrounded by mountains.

    To travel to Cuenca I consider it is ideal to get moderately warm, the weather is really nice maybe just one good coat

    The food … it’s just excellent amazing, they are going to enjoy good food as basin is quite normal eat well anywhere but it never hurts to make sure where to eat well before ordering food.

    You can eat pork with potato, or corn tortillas bronze prepared with a coffee during the day, I tried to eat one tortilla but I ended up eating seven tortillas, it was very nice.

    I suggest that is a journey that can go with family or friends, the good thing is that in Ecuador everything is close to everything so traveling together is nice to appreciate together the beauties ranging from the Galapagos Islands, then scans the beaches on the coast, then why not? Take a bike ride around the volcanoes in the mountains and then into the jungle of the Amazon and see the most beautiful in the world as it is nature at its best.

     

  • New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas

    New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas

    It was the beginning of year 2014. I was at Las Vegas with my father (who lives there), my best friend and my cousin. New year at Las Vegas, what else can you ask for?

    There this big publicity of the famous new year show, all the fireworks, the nightclubs full of artists, it makes it even hard to decide what you want to do! However, New Year’s Eve is a synonym for “be ready to spend lots of money” and not all of us are ready to spend our vacation budget in a single night. If you want to have a great night and still not spending a fortune, here are some highlights from my experience that may help you:

    1. Plan your night with enough time in advance and either book in the restaurant you want to go, buy your entrances to the nightclub or show, or plan your itinerary, considering how to move from one place to another. One important thing to know is that all the closest streets that access to the Strip are closed that day since the afternoon.
    1. Avoid using cabs. Cab drivers really make their night on New Year’s Eve! They charge more than double from regular prices. Instead, buses have a special long schedule, so they are available all night (or almost all night). Cab or bus, you will likely be dropped you off 3 or 4 blocks away from the place you want to get to, since (as i mentioned before) streets around the Strip are closed. Most important than everything: don’t drive if you are drinking. Police patrols are everywhere, stopping cars for no reason and randomly so avoid accidents to happen and your night to get ruined.
    1. No high-heels. Or at least, keep them on your purse until you get to the place. New Year’s Eve is all about walking, and unless you are a professional model, you may not be comfortable with talking half an hour in high-heels; plus, by the time you get to your destination, your feet will be destroyed.
    1. Prepare your drinks. A great way to save money on that night is to have your drinks prepared on your own. Many people plan to spend the night only walking at the Strip and it is actually a great idea! You can see the fireworks from there, enjoy the party atmosphere everywhere, enjoy the hotel’s lighting and decoration from outside and inside and do all that while having a drink. In Vegas it is legal to walk in the street and be drinking at the same time, so you can fill a soda bottle with rum and coke, a thermo with vodka and pineapple juice or whatever you prefer. You will save LOTS of money by having your own drinks at least for the beginning of the night.
    1. If you wanna go to a nightclub, be sure to have a large group, or join one. New Year’s Eve reservations for nightclubs are only available if booking a table and they usually come with at least 2 bottles, non-negotiable rate. And let me tell you: rates can be pretty high! The best way to avoid paying a fortune is to be with a large group so you can split the bill between everyone. If the bottles are not enough, once inside you can get personal drinks per glass, but you will already be inside enjoying the famous DJ that will most likely be playing and celebrating the start of a new year with tons of people sharing your mood.

    With those helpful tips given, now let me share my last 2013 night with you! We decided to have a small dinner at home, since my father lives in an apartment that has A GREAT view to the Strip so we thought fireworks would be better appreciated from there.

    Then we prepared our yards and took the bus to the Strip. We walked all over the Strip for about an hour and finally decided to enter Encore nightclub, where my cousin’s boyfriend used to work. We had a blast that night (and an unbelievable hangover the next morning).

    Even though you can never have a bad night in Vegas, this date specially will surely exceed your expectations! Be cautious, have fun and take lots of picture so you can remember New Year’s Eve in Vegas forever.

     

     

  • How to travel in New York for 24 hours

    How to travel in New York for 24 hours

    Twenty for hours in New York will never be enough like any other city; but if that’s all the time you’ve got like I did once, I’ve a designed a trip for you to make every minute count at this amazing city.

    I was with my family. It was funny cause we lived in Washington DC and we didn’t knew what to do on that saturday morning, so we decided to take the car straight to New York City!

    It was a 4 hour trip, we arrived aproximately at 11 am. After crossing NY Bridge we found a place to park the car all day and walked directly somewhere to take breakfast!

    We found this cute coffee shop called ”Hi-Collar” located at 214 East 10th St between 1rst&2nd Avenue.

    This was a cool experience. It reminded me of an old fashion ice cream/coffee counter owned and operated by actual Japanese people. I remember ordering a Japanese Ice Coffee (the cost was about 3 dolars) with Fordenza Brazilian Coffee Bean (with 1 extra dolar). The waiter personally measured and ground the beans. Then she did a pour over, put the coffee in a copper mug with cold draft ice and tasted strong and enjoyable!

    After that, we took the closet subway and catch a train to Grand Central Terminal. No one will blame you for staring like a tourist at the glorious constellations painted on the ceiling of the marbled main hall. Head downstairs to the excellent European-style food hall, feast on seafood at the Grand Central Oyster Bar or escape the crowds at the elegant Campbell Apartment.

    A long walk took us to 5th avenue. Experienced and amateur shoppers alike will no doubt be thrilled by the amount of choice offered in New York’s shopping places. The city contains branches of almost all of the big chain stores! We bought some NY sweaters for everyone and took some pictures along the way!

    New York 2

    Visiting Empire State Building is an must see tourist attraction that cannot be missed.. This building has a lot of history, you should really buy way all the way to the top. If you like taking photos there’s literally millions of “perfect shots!” The journey to the top is part of the fun, do it with a loved one or two and you have plenty of time to catch up, the air is pure and clean at the top.

    NYC29

    After the sunset, I was excited to finally take a walk by the Crossroads of the World, the most visited place on the face of the Earth, people calle it the electric heart of New York City. Running from the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue between West 42nd and West 47th Streets in Midtown, it’s a big thing of noise and light, and crowded with people 24 hours a day. When they say the city never sleeps, they mean Times Square.

    We walk for hours amazed by all the big shows in the street, lights, people singing, selling all kind of stuff and limousines everywhere taking artists to their destinations! I looved that.

    It’s a risk between you and traffic to get a shot of yourself standing right in the middle of the road, light and buildings all around, so here are some pictures that I reached to took that night!

  • The 3.5 mile hike in Black Diamond Mines

    The 3.5 mile hike in Black Diamond Mines

    Once in a vacation with my family on our visit to Discovery Bay near San Francisco, my family and I took a long walk exploring Black Diamond Mines. Better called The East Bay Regional Park District that began acquiring land for Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in the early 1970s. Today, most of the mining district is within the Preserve’s nearly 6,096 acres. The area is an ideal location for hiking, picnicking and nature study.

    The day we went, it was so nice and warm outside. The sun was shining and the view was so clear.

    We decided to explore the history of this lands by hiking. From 1850 to 1906, the area was known as the Mount Diablo Coalfield, the largest in California, producing more than 4 million tons of coal during this time.

         mines 3    46536_1507917372298_3315216_nmines 8

    The path of these mountains to the top is fun. I was going more for the fact that I had never climbed a mountain.

    This long walk came with some very narrow roads surrounded by trees and giant boulders, where you could gradually see the entire city of San Francisco in the distance at the TOP!

    On the way, we were shown a slideshow of what this entire area of land used to be.    There are several pictures of a small town and all the residents. Then we were educated on what was mined and what it was used for.

    mines 658653_1507904851985_4414556_nWhat I loved the most about the park was the beautiful winding road that puts you in the center of the park. From there you park and choose one of 6-8 trail heads going all different directions around the park.

    You can go on your basic fire trail, single track, or explore the rocky sections of the granite rock and go climbing! Has i´ve mention before, there is beautiful sand stone rock formations.

    I would recommend to bring a lunch or picnic with Friends, Family or bring your dogs (who must be leashed). You can really go a long ways and not see anyone, the place is so spacious. Just remember to hydrate and bring a camera; you’ll love looking at the pictures later.

    One of my favorite activities will always be hiking, at the same time taking long walks and learning a little history, you can see amazing landscapes that are worth to see at finish the walk down the road!

  • Buceo sobre 4000 metros de profundidad

    Buceo sobre 4000 metros de profundidad

    [avatar_upload /]

    Después de un año de practica de buceo, fue cuando llego el momento de avanzar y buscar bucear en un lugar diferente.

    Se presento la oportunidad de bucear en la pared de arrecife de coral junto con unos compañeros de buceo…

    Este buceo era en Cozumel y consistia en bajar 18 metros de profundidad sobre 4000 metros bajo nuestros pies en mar abierto, realmente escalofriante.

    Una noche anterior no podia dormir de los nervios, me imaginaba un abismo gigante con todo tipo de animales diferentes a las primeras buceadas que habia hecho en Cancún, el instructor claramente nos proyectó una pared enorme de arrecife en donde debiamos de rodearla sin pasarnos de los 18 metros de profundidad debido a nuestra practica y a que no era recomendable bucear mas abajo.

    Llegó el dia de buceo, cuando tomamos el ferry hacia Cozumel desde Playa del Carmen. Nuestro grupo de buceo ya estaba listo y todos se veian muy emocionados. Yo realmente no podia distinguir si estaba muy emocionada o muy nerviosa y asustada, tirarme al mar abierto donde veria una pared que bajaba hasta 4 kilometros de profundidad no era que habia hecho antes.

    Despues de aproximadamente 40 minutos llegamos a la zona de buceo donde ibamos a lanzarnos, mi corazón en ese momento empezo a latir a toda velocidad. Me coloqué mi máscara, tomé mi regulador y mi tanque sobre mi espalda. Despues junto con el grupo de buzos nos orillamos en el barco y a la cuenta de tres nos lanzamos!

    Cuando me tiré al agua fue ahí uno de los momentos más impactantes que he vivido. No podia pensar en nada mas que ver ese paisaje profundo; sentir lo increíble y misterioso que es el océano y la naturaleza, estaba en shock!

    Poco a poco empezamos a descender los 18 metros hasta llegar a la arena, no había muchos peces ni animales marinos como pensé.. Se veía como un enorme terreno valdío lleno de rocas gigantes como meteoritos.

    Fué ahi cuando llegamos justo a la pared y empezamos a rodearla. A la derecha tenías esta montaña gigante de coral que llegaba hasta 4000 metros de profundidad y a la izquierda no podías ver absolutamente nada mas que agua, trataba de ver algo a lo lejos en las profundidades, me daba cierta curiosidad de pensar que podía haber alla debajo o a lo lejos. Hay mucho por descubrir en este mundo tan espectacular!

    Nos encontramos con varias especies de animales que no habia visto en mis anteriores buceos como medusas, un pulpo, tambores, peces mero, peces leon, peces globo y una barracuda que nos seguia a todos lados.. Así fué como seguimos nadando como peces en el mar y disfrutando esta experiencia.

    Despues de 40 minutos de pasar uno de los mejores buceos salimos hacia la superficie y cada uno explicó su experiencia personal, fue muy agradable escuchar lo que cada uno sintio al estar alla abajo y no hay nada mejor que compartir este tipo de aventuras!

    Recomiendo a cada persona que esté leyendo este artículo que alguna vez en su vida viva lo que es el buceo, es un deporte y actividad muy benefica que ayuda no solo a atreverse a lanzarse al misterioso fondo del océano si no también te ayuda personal y espiritualmente.

    A continuación les presento una pequeña película que hice sobre éste buceo, disfruten!

  • Playa del Carmen – bathed in turquoise blue waters

    Playa del Carmen – bathed in turquoise blue waters

    The main economic activity of Playa de Carmen is tourism because of the beautiful turquoise Carribean sea, the Maya culture and archealogical zones, the night life and warm friendly people. There are many activities and entertainment in this paradise called “Riviera Maya”.

    One of my experiences in Playa del Carmen was with a friend from Cancún. We started our trip at the bus station “ADO” taking us about 50 minutes to get to our destination plus about another 20 minutes to find a hotel. The hotel was quite easy to find all we did was walk down 5th avenue ( the most famous avenue of Playa del Carmen where you can find all kind of shops, restaurants, bars, etc). We stopped at a lot of hotels looking for one with a reasonable price, good location and up to our satisfaction. We found a hotel called “Hacienda María Bonita” located on 10th Avenue between 12th north Street and 10 north street just a few meters from “Coco Bongo” the best disco in town. The price seemed right so we paid 75 dollars per night in a room with two double beds, a/c, tv and bathroom with shower. It was a great location as we were right next to the nightlife of Playa del Carmen and 5 minutes walk from the beach.

    To begin our day we went to a beach club called “Mamitas” located at 28th north Street which is said to be the most famous in the area. We walked from our hotel on 5th Avenue to get there where we rented an enormous sun bed to relax and enjoy the view of the most colourful sea I have ever seen, the scorching hot sun and some Carribean refreshing cocktails. The music put us in the mood and the service from the waiters was excellent, we had an excellent time. After spending our morning on the beach we decided to look for a local diner to eat and relax. We found a restaurant called “La Fisheria” on Fifth Avenue between 20 north Street and 22 north street. It’s a well known seafood restaurant, we found the place clean and comfortable but unfortunatly there was no air conditioning, only fans. The price seemed a bit high but the food was so delicious it was worth it! At the end we decided to go to the “Quinta Alegria” a mall located on Fifth Avenue, it is a pretty nice new mall with stores like American Eagle, forever 21, among others. We decided to take a taxi as we were tired, we arrived in about 10 minutes and were charged around 40 pesos. Once in the mall we bought us “Ben & Jerrys” ice cream to cool off. My friend was looking for some brand new clothes so we walked through the stores until he found what he wanted. Then we returned to our hotel to rest so we could enjoy the nightlife.

    Playa del Carmen 12th north Street is where all the night life happens as it is full of bars and nightclubs. We decided to go to “La Mezcalina” which is a bar where you can taste a variety of mezcal bottles, listen to excelent electronic music with live DJ and spend a good time dancing and drinking mezcal of different flavors! It is located just down 12th north street. We were about 1 hour there and decided to go to a nightclub, there were many to choose from but we decided to go to “La Santanera” which is very large and has 3 floors, it’s a pretty cool place where you spend a great time with your friends listening to electronic music. There is an outdoor area at the top of the building, an air-conditioned room in the second floor and on the first floor has a bar type restaurant. All floors with live DJ playing!

    Unfortunately the next day we had to leave and could not continue to enjoy the wonderful city of Playa del Carmen. It is a beautiful place and there are many things to do and enjoy. The distances are very short, the weather is nice the people are very friendly and the beaches are beautiful. It is certainly a place I recommend to all to either relax, have fun or just to get to know this paradise.
