ABOUT ME

I am a naturalist, trying to make consicence about take care of the planet, looking for see as many places and birds on Earth before it vanishes.

PHILOSOPHY

Our father is the Sun and our mother the Earth, because the sun makes grow up everithing we eat and all the matter we eat its from the Earth. Actually we are what we eat. The only sense of our lives should be to open conciences of people who resemble close conciences by the system´s domination. STEP OUT OF IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) In 2003 I did my first trip out of C.A., to Peru, the first time I took a plane ever!. I saw in less than a month, something of the Andes (Macchu Picchu & the Inca Sacred Valley), the Amazonia (Tambopata river, the most humid place on Earth) the desert (Nazca, the most dry place on Earth)

2) Had backpaked all the 32 Mexican States in 4 different trips (2004-2008), including had reached up to 5700 m above sea level its highest summit, the Orizaba (ending 2006).

3) Had been onto the great Western United States Great National parks (Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Saguaro & Chiricahua)(nov 2008).

4) Had done DARWIN´s route around PATAGONIA but mainly by land, just hitchhiking and camping, from Valdes to Tierra del Fuego, and Chiloe Island; watching tons of awesome places such as the great National parks Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares and awesome wildilfe such as the orcas trying to catch sea lion pups!! (mar-jun 2009). Reaching Iguazu Falls and the paraguayan Pantanal to reach the bolivian lowlands (aug 2009).

5) Have been working on the Galapagos Islands for around 110 days! and explore more of the Darwin´s route!

6) Had traveled part of continental Ecuador and crossing to Northern Peru, where I found a second place that really touched my heart (Amazonas department - NOT THE RIVER)

7) Had back for live for a while (2012-14) in CHACHAPOYAS, the place that touched my heart since 2011.
