I spent New Year’s Eve walking in Aconcagua Provincial Park, we had 3-day trekking in a magnificent place with landscape looking like paint.
This time three images are necessary to show how amazing this place is. I am not sure if you could understand me only by writing. Am I right?
Paulista Avenue is the meeting point of several tribes that becomes different in the end of the year. Besides the usual people, many families comes to see Christmas decoration. The 2,8 km famous street in São Paulo get crowded at night when the lights turn on.
This week’s image is more than special; the photo came in my snail mail straight from Philadelphia. It is from the blogger Dri Lima o Dicas da Dri, who got my name in the secret traveler.
This picture was taken to celebrate the end of CMC’s course, which happened in Serra Geral National Park and Aparados da Serra National Park. It was unforgettable because the fog only took 20 minutes, started around 6 AM in Canyon Malacara and then the weather got cloudy the rest of the day.
Walking around Casa Rosada I found this statue of Cristovão Colombo. While front side in Praça de Maio was crowded with tourists, the backyards in Parque Cólon was empty displaying a good view to appreciate architecture details besides the monument donated to Argentinians by Italy.
When I was in Rio de Janeiro I visited Parque das Ruínas, located in one of the most beautiful place of Santa Teresa neighborhood. Over there is one of the best views in Rio mainly from downtown and Pão de Açúcar. It’s a very interesting place worth visiting.
Shanghai is the true heart of China, being the biggest and most developed city of the Asian giant with more than 23 million people. Small and irrelevant until the Opium War, Shanghai has been through ups and downs under Chinese history until 1990, when it started to reborn from the ashes. This is one of the post card pictures of the city and most famous views showing the neighborhood of Pudong which 20 years ago was nothing but rural undeveloped area. Today there’s the tallest China’s skyscraper, and the 3rd in the whole world. Shanghai reflects the speed and the intensity of the undergoing changes in Chinese society.
There are many fountains and sources scattered throughout Guadalajara. This one is in front of Hospício Cabañas, near downtown. The evening lights with the water movement gave it a special charm.
Remembering one of the magical moments of Torres del Paine… I woke up with the early morning lighting my refugio’s room. I was half asleep and lazy to get up when I looked through window and realized that the sky was clean enough to see the Towers. The sun had not rise yet, but those shades of pink and red was a signal of good pictures. I took my camera, my jacket and run out without even washing my face. I almost freeze but the spectacle worth it.
