Cara del Indio is a monument in honor of Cacique Mabodomaca who ruled the territories that are now Isabela and Quebradillas in Puerto Rico. Chief Mabodamaca fought bravely with his Indians against the Spanish in the Battle of Guajataca. This second combat is better known as the second indigenous rebellion where many of our Taínos perished. It was sculpted in 2001. Update July 2020: This time we went by bicycle to visit the monument.

I enjoyed taking this photo. We had to wait until the cars were far away and the street was hot, but at Econaturista we sacrificed ourselves for you. With these letters on the road, the situation is clarified that the town of Yauco, Puerto Rico has beaches and part of the Dry Forest which is a World Heritage Site. Among them Playa Tamarindo, Playa Atalladora, and Playa Ballena that I will present to you next tourist Wednesday. #AventuraenPuertoRico #RoadTripPuertoRico #PuertoRico

That moment when you realize that there is a great story beneath your feet. This time it is the story of the blue or grayish cobblestones of Old San Juan. The paving of the streets of San Juan began to be seen at the end of the 18th century. The first tests to pave the streets of San Juan were carried out in 1883. The first shipment of paving stones arrived in 1890 from Liverpool, England. The first street was paved in 1891. Cobblestones are made from iron slag. In the iron foundries of Sunderland, England was accumulating slag. They melted it in molds to form blocks that eventually became paving stones. We encourage you to look for curiosities or small details in each of your trips, they will enrich your visit and you will appreciate the destination visited much more. Tell us, you already had the opportunity to step on the cobblestones of San Juan, Puerto Rico. #RoadTripPuertoRico #AventuraenPuertoRico #AventurasenFamilia #SanJuan #PuertoRico

Holy Week in Quito, Ecuador, is a celebration of great importance and religious significance for the Catholic community where faith, tradition, and community come together in a unique and moving celebration. During this week, the city is filled with religious events, processions, and deep-rooted traditions that attract local faithful and tourists from all over the world. Good Friday: Procession of de Jesús del Gran Poder In Ecuadorian Holy Week, one of the most famous processions is the procession of Jesús del Gran Poder, it is considered the most important religious celebration in the city of Quito, which we had the opportunity to attend in person. We arrived in Quito on Holy Thursday late at night and we were not able to witness the procession of Silence. Early Friday we walked from the hotel to the Historic Center of Quito. Early in the morning, the crowd sits on the sidewalks to wait for the procession. This procession has been carried out since 1961, initially at the initiative of priest Francisco Fernández, and continues to be held annually on Good Friday to remember the death of Jesus. The tour begins at noon, at the church of San Francisco, one of the architectural jewels of the Historic Center of Quito, and crosses the streets of the Historic Center from south to north and then returns. The devotion and intensity of the religious celebration truly leave a lasting impression on those of us who witness it for the first time. The Cucuruchos and the Veronicas are the traditional characters that accompany Jesús del Gran Poder and Virgen Dolorosa on this journey. The combination of the gathered crowd, the thousands of cucuruchos with their purple tunics and hoods, as well as the obvious sacrifice of those who walk barefoot in the rain and some carry poisonous herb, in their hands. The cucuruchos that left me astonished were the ones with cactus crosses on their backs as seen in the photo, it is an image that will surely remain engraved in my memory forever. Without a doubt, attending early to find a good location and preparing yourself to be surrounded by a crowd of people is important to be able to fully enjoy the procession. It is interesting to note how street vendors take advantage of the occasion to offer sweets and other products, including raincoats, which can be useful considering the weather conditions that may occur during the event. These small interactions add an extra element to the experience, allowing attendees to further engage with the unique atmosphere of this celebration. The procession of Jesús del Gran Poder is an opportunity for both Quiteños and visitors from other parts of the country and the world to come together for a unique experience. This procession has been a symbol of the faith and devotion of the Ecuadorian Catholic community. Beyond its religious meaning, this event is also a cultural and heritage expression that reflects the identity and history of Quito.
