Badajoz Ravine (Tenerife)


If you are passionate about nature and like the mysterious, I think this place is what you want.

My experience in this place is not very different from the stories they tell of that place. Honestly, it can scare a lot. It all started 2 years ago during spring break, some friends invited me to spend the weekend in Tenerife, and the plan was to hold a camp in the ravine of Badajoz, situated in the municipality of Güimar. I had heard some of the stories of this ravine were counted as:

- It is the gateway to another dimension
- luminous beings that were there
- The myth of the mining caves (caves that are closed to prevent the passage of many curious)
- colored lights on the walls of the gorge
- Gregorian sing ....


I could go on telling many but I lived there was very normal. Leaving aside the mysterious item, the gorge itself is a wonder, mysticism and the flora and fauna found there makes it a place where travelers nature lovers attend.

Do you know that Canary Aloe Vera is one of the best in the world?, to wait to try it.



Canary Islands addition to its tourist attraction, is characterized by numerous natural springs, and treatment center such as Spa and Thalassotherapy.

I remember when my grandmother say that, Canary Aloe Vera is the best in the world and not just because she says, but because since she was little girl has tested this product in different ways and is currently used for treatment using oils and creams . She told me that as a child, was a rich source of food, although tasty little taste, the benefits to the body were remarkable.

Experts say the benefits of Canary Aloe Vera are so remarkable because of the climate and unique environment we have, and therefore support the theory of my grandmother, and not to say that my grandmother is an expert or know these experts, but from two totally opposite points of view we can reach the same conclusion.

I can also say that living in Gran Canaria I see every day as many of the people who study and work attending such centers and beauty treatments to relax, pamper yourself and free your mind.

Very close to the areas of the drinks that are seen in the video is called Plaza de las Palmeras, where all types of palms that are currently in the Canary Islands.

Palmitos Park (Gran Canaria)


When I was little boy, I remember one of my favorite places was Palmitos Park, in the gorge of "Palmitos. "
He was one of my favorite places because it was there I saw so many animals together for the first time a toddler animal was not used to seeing in everyday life. The exact image I have in my mind is that of the peacock, I remember seeing that animal as if it were a chicken, go to pet him, to my surprise that needed all her plumage amazing.

Currently this new show of dolphins, which must go. Palmitos Park a few years ago suffered serious damage caused by a major fire that affected much of the interior and south of the island. Today, recovered, is a place where many tourists come each day to enjoy the wonderful animals and plants.
The spectacle of birds of prey, takes place in an amphitheater with a terrace, located on top of a mountain, surrounded by the breathtaking views .. Eagles, hawks and several species of owls, along with other birds of prey in free flight made an acrobatic show.
I could talk to each species there you can find, but I prefer you to discover for yourself and enjoy a great day at Palmitos Park.

The pond is a small coastal lagoon water out of the former marshes of Maspalomas, which were destroyed by housing developments built in the same environment. It is separated from the sea by a sandbar, it breaks during long rains allowing the renovation of pond water and the entry of fish and other organisms. One of the main characteristics of this ecosystem is its seasonality, which results in large variations in salinity and water volume as well as the communities of birds that visit.
