"My dream is to visit Greece"
Greece is my dreamed place. I will travel to run away and rest, know and enjoy.
It is a country located in the Mediterranean seaside. The capital is Athens. This country has
a mix of customs, kindness, architecture, art, culture and a unique landscape.
The best way to travel to Greece is in an airplane. Greece has 18 international airports.
The weather in Greece is Mediterranean with mild and wet Winter and warm, dry summers.
The gastronomy of Greece is typically Mediterranean, in addition to sharing some
techniques with the Middle East and Italy. I should eat out and know different restaurants,
because I love the gourmet cuisine. Definitely, I will go to “Taverna o Apostolis”; it is a
famous restaurant in Naxos.
I agree with Greece like a biodiverse country. Some tourist sites are: Natural park “Prespes
lakes”, Sunion Natural Park, Olympus national park, Oeta national park and Ainos national
park.
I’m going to visit the Acropolis museum in Athens and the National archeological museum
in in Athens too; because I would like to improve my knowledge. I think I will learn about
history, culture, civilizations and architecture from Greece.
A good suggestion from websites: enjoy the nightlife in Athens; so I will get on a bus and
will go in a club to enjoy. I might eat dinner too.
The historical monuments, enclose important part of the history of ancient Greece.
I would like to know this place. Here I’m going to find an amazing ocean view and of
course, a lot of history.
In life you can pick out where you want to go. Travel is the only thing you buy that makes
you richer.

Cordial greetings colleagues, sending contribution of part 1 and 2 of this activity.
Part 1
Páramo de Chingaza
Know the Páramo de Chingaza was one of the most beautiful trips I have made since I am a fan of the
nature. Although it was a long trip was rewarding to be able to observe the variety of fauna and flora of
this site, during the ascent on foot to the chasm of the Moor we had the good fortune to meet a deer, a
beautiful animal that we saw for the first time all attendees to this walk.
On arrival at the site we attended a talk where we indicated the path that we were going to make and
they assigned us a guide with which we started the walk, during the ascent we were able to observe a
number of plants and mosses with variety of colors and forms what was a very enriching experience, in
addition to this we observe in the rocks brands of fossil remains because the area to which we were
thousands of years ago was submerged in water.
We had the pleasure of meeting the frailejón plant that can be seen behind us in the picture, this plant has
a unique feature that is the grow half an inch per year, at the end of the tour, we came to the pit where
the páramo has a series of lagoons that are the supplying water the lower parts of the population.
Sites like these that are carriers of large amounts of water are those that we have to preserve because of
them depends on the life of many ecosystems that work together to establish a healthy environment.
