Hello again friends (as)
This time I come to comment on a unique and unmatched in natural environments is concerned, it is the Florida farm, located in the town of Palmar Quetzaltenango. Even
beginning this farm is devoted to the cultivation of cardamom, coffee. But because to falling prices of the same, the culture was declining day by day.
All this leads to re-appropriates the vegetation of the area, so many species of birds found in the perfect area to breed as an unlimited number of terrestrial animals.
to travel and with a little luck, you may see armadillos, tacuazín, small mammals, Andasol, deer, collared peccary (wild boar) and so on.
Birds such as the parrots, parakeets, heal, jays, mockingbirds, Chati, finally a great diversity that would be difficult to list them on this page.
But this is only part of it, as beautiful landscapes contrast with the vastness of the volcanic complex Santa Maria, there are sites where you can appreciate it fully.
also coupled with the abundance of water resources, which has this area is a place for those who love nature and penetrate into the forest. However
it, and part of what gives it the appeal of this area is that it is a tourist site that includes services to its visitors through which you receive income, since it still maintains its integrity as a coffee plantation. A low level
, reaping a 100% natural coffee, since it does not receive any type of fumigation, or any payment, the produce is simply the product of the brush.
(decomposing organic material, leaves, branches etc.).
Another factor is its location between the rivers from Santiaguito volcano. To the east is the river nima one, where the rainy season, are generated of mud and debris flows (lahars) and west is the river nima two, it has the peculiarity that arises in front of a flow Santiaguito lava, so that its temperature is high, can be admired by the steam that comes along the way, there clean water pools, where you can take a warm bath and spend hours and hours into it.
To visit the river to do this in summer as in winter leaves the river lahar activity particles sand and mud making it impossible to enjoy.
's helmet reflects the typical farm facilities used to process this product, wet and dry, office, patio for basking coffee houses of the workers, mill, Catholic Church, the latter projects a beautiful infrastructure of one level, made mostly of brick inner part keeps the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, carved image in the early 70s is unknown author.
In June of each year is celebrating its fiesta with a mass, marimba formerly stood basking in the yards of coffee, and wine was distributed and beef, all workers, by the area employers, but this does not happen more because most people became part of evangelical religion.
While every place has its golden age, but it's time that lapsed, only to be again taken up and thereby restores the function for which it was created.
The farm has been hit by the economic crisis generated by the falling value of its product, as has been strongly affected by the destruction of bridges by lahars vehicle access, coupled with the wind in January 2.007. which left some roofs without sheets. The deterioration is evident, but it has been very helpful for the growth of wild fauna and flora area. Keeping intact
areas such as waterfalls, dams, only visiting sites that generate curiosity to see what lies beyond.
can come just to know, without any financial contribution, but you must do the paperwork for permission to do so, because as a private entry is restricted. But when applying for the permit and explain the reasons for your visit sure you can cross it.
section also permits from the neighboring farm as to reach the Florida property must first pass through other farms that produce coffee, macadamia and banana.
But through me I can make the permit application and recommend some people who could make a tour of the area explaining to you in detail the use of the product name and process of the company, as well as with regard to flora and fauna. The only thing is that it must be financially compensated with the amount of Q100.00 quetzales per day. (One of these people you would recommend is Julio Cornejo, the Volcano is an observer, so you can give some lectures on the volcano. That would be ideal if it were a student group.
if you dare to recommend you visit bring hiking shoes or tennis. Food, bottled pure water among others.
their visits may contribute to the employers area to see the resource you have and decide to establish the necessary facilities for visitors and not say stay here over time.
The beauty of departure, not reaching the intended destination, if not cross it.
While the city has many amenities, remember where we come from, we are people of the land of the pavement. Depart
a bit of noise and smoke of the city and reflects on life. Notes
-Learn-Teach.
All for education. PEM
