I am a student of accounting and finance, I´m a big fan of doing outdoor activities, I love taking pictures although most of them I keep for myself. I like to know new places, help people, learn and share what I know. I live in Cali, but I want to show you a little of the place where I was born.

Buenaventura is more than a city full of inequality, corruption and poverty. It is the most important seaport in Colombia, where we find the most beautiful landscapes, the friendliest people, the most delicious food and the most aphrodisiac fruits and drinks. Both in the city and its surroundings we can find true natural paradises.

One of my favorite places to visit is the Malecon Bahia de la Cruz, where we can see beautiful sunsets, small crabs on the beach, taste delicious food from the restaurants that are established there and what I like most is to have interesting conversations With really kind people.

The malecon is well known and tourists who come to the city enjoy their afternoons there. Although sometimes the weather plays a trick, as you can see in the photograph below that it is raining but everything was still beautiful.

A place where you can enjoy a few hours of sun, sand and sea is La Barra, a beautiful beach as well as juanchaco, brickmakers or Piangüita. These beaches are equally incredible and they are very close to Buenaventura.

Another place that I loved knowing is Aguaclara, one of the purest and most beautiful rivers in Valle del Cauca. It is a river that can be easily explored because it is shallow and very calm. The place was perfect to spend a good time swimming relaxing in its waters whit my family,while we were observing the charming jungle landscape.

A traditional celebration in Buenaventura is Verbenas, these are popular festivals that begin in different neighborhoods and include dances, artistic presentations and lots of food. This food is very typical of the Pacific coast, but in each place it is found with variants.

Among the traditional dances characteristic 

of the verbenas are the currulao, the abozao, the caderona, etc. However, in the last celebration I participated there were more current rhythms that can be enjoyed by everyone.
