EXOTIC PLACES OF GUATEMALA

The Treetop Acatenango volcano

It is the third highest volcano in Guatemala, located in Sacatepquez, and the view from its summit
offers a show without comparisons. No racing Cuchumatan is simply different. From the top you can
see the city of Guatemala, the sea, the curvature of the horizon, the volcanoes of Solola with beautiful
Lake Atitlan and Volcan de Fuego fascinating. Upload requires a fairly refined fitness. Here is also
apparent to many effects of altitude.

Cenote Cimarron in Huehuetenango
Describing it is simply fulfilling the obligation of inclurilo on the list ... is frankly impossible to speak of
a place SO AWESOME. Even the most ingenious imagination could evoke the sense of wonder it
feels like to be on your side. It's a hole in solid limestone rock where it is the building of Finance twice
on one another. Is located in Huehuetenango in the semi-desert area, but his background has a cool
forest. The only way down is highly technical climbing gear and climb (to go back). The night on its
bank gives a feeling of peace truly incomparable.

Tikal National Park
In Petn in northern Guatemala. Drive there worthwhile. A well-preserved forest hides in its green
color to the majestic Mayan temples, huge buildings that take the idea to another level of the ancient
civilization. Apart from the archaeological wealth (which in itself is huge), the natural wealth equals,
expecting a varidad wildlife surprises to delve into it.

Although not as frequent as before, those who are lucky have managed to hear or even see jaguars,
cats characteristic of the region.

Semuc Champey
The "River hides in the rock." It is full of calm crystal clear pools and a pleasant climate tourist
destination. Swim or relax in its warm waters is extremely relaxing. Is located in Alta Verapaz and is
one of the most visited places in Guatemala.

There are nearby hotel infrastructure and ecotourism campsites (all inclusive), also enough room for
camping with own equipment. The Laguna de Magdalena, in Huehuetenango, evokes the same but
with cold weather paradise without many people, being a quite hidden place.

Lake Atitlan
It is undoubtedly the most beautiful lake in the world ... It is surrounded by volcanoes and villages with
different environments, from the excitement and full of partying, such as religious and spiritual
meditation centers.

Its waters are clear and blue. Studies have shown that water in its center exceeds 90% purity and
potability. The sunrises and sunsets are truly a sight to see.

The strange thing is that even when it's cold in the morning, in the early hours of the day, the water is
warm and pleasant, not cold as you might think.

Kayaking in the water is a delight.

ENDANGERED ANIMALS

The Bengal tiger
the second most endangered animal is the Bengal tiger, which lives in mangroves between
Bangladesh and India. The Bengal tiger or Indian (Panthera tigris tigris) is, after the Siberian tiger, the
second species of the world's largest tiger.
Due to annual growth of 4 mm sea level, 70% of the habitat of this cat could be lost by 2060. Their
current situation is alarming and that is why they have created new reserves for preservation in India

the coral
In the third place on the list include corals, of which 80% may disappear within decades. Different
reports show that a third of coral reefs are endangered.
There are currently 231 coral species endangered, threatened or vulnerable. When corals die, the
same thing happens to a lot of plants and animals that depend on them for food or protection, so it
can lead to the collapse of entire ecosystems.

The polar bear
The first on our list is occupied by the polar bear as a species could disappear within 50 years if, as
expected, continue to shrink ice sheets of the Arctic.
The ice of the Arctic Ocean melts to an average of 9% every ten years. According to these
calculations, the Arctic could lose its summertime ice mass in the middle of this century.
Polar bears belong to a species that depends entirely on the existence of the frozen sea. They use
the ice as a floating platform from which they can hunt seals. At present there are only 20,000 to
25,000 copies.

the penguin
The four main species of penguins that live in Antarctica are threatened with extinction because of
global warming. The warming is five times faster at the poles than in the rest of the planet. Another
serious problem is the oil spills from cargo ships, which are spread throughout the globe.
The largest penguin colonies in New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Oceania, Antarctica and
Argentina are victims of them. Human presence in the confines of the planet has raged.
Worst of all, according to experts, is that many of these accidents to be isolated and not receiving
public visibility and are not reported.

Sea Turtle
Commercial fishing and destruction by man nesting areas on beaches threaten to wipe out a species
that takes 150 million years to inhabit the Earth.
The current decline in the number of sea turtles in the Pacific is an example of the greatest extinction
of a population of animals seen for many years. His disappearance is almost as fast as the extinction
of bison in North America in the nineteenth century.
