Old Train Station in Durango, Mexico
⠀
Last weekend I had a very quick 2-day trip to my original hometown of Durango after about 3 years of not visiting. Unfortunately, due to that time constraint I wasn’t able to visit those beautiful landscapes and adventures the State offers and I’m so looking forward to explore (to get a peak of those places, check out my uncle @jorge_salum’s awesome photos), but I did get to stop at some places in the city to snap at least a couple of shots.
⠀
This city is almost half-a-Millenium old, and as such it has seen a lot of history. It’s actually the city in the North of Mexico with more registered historical buildings, which stand proud and beautiful as witnesses of the passing time.
⠀
This train station took about 6 years to build before it opened in 1925, and is so beautifully conserved (as most historical buildings here) it’s been casted as location for a couple of hollywood movies. ⠀
Its day job, though, is being the workplace for a government institution, but it can be visited to enjoy its construction and the cool mural inside, and for a good eat at the restaurant next to it.

A view of Espíritu Santo Island from Tecolote Beach.
⠀
One of the first things I got to do this year was to join this beautiful family on a day trip with @redtravelmx to this amazing island to document their adventure.
⠀
I do believe traveling alone lets you discover and get to know yourself a lot better. You see what you see, you hear what you hear, you smell what you smell, you feel what you feel, effectively providing an untouched reflection of your self. Traveling with great company, however, always adds whole new dimensions to your experience.
⠀
Through their enjoyment and expressions, jokes and laughter, the way they play around, through the challenges they face and the conversations and friendship that arise when sharing these moments, your own experience becomes richer. You see what they see, you hear what they hear, you smell what they smell, and even feel what they feel. The interpretation you get out of the experience is multiplied by the perspectives you get from these travel buddies.
⠀
Any one who knows me and/or has read a few of my Espiritu Island posts knows that this is one of my favourite places in Baja and in the world, but with the Cantwells and Red Travel, this visit to the island became an irreplaceable memory. Thanks again for an amazing start of the year, friends!

Old Lighthouse in Cabo San Pablo, Tierra del Fuego
⠀
The day we visited the Desdemona Shipwreck you can find a few photos ago in my feed, we first did a small hike up the hill of Cabo San Pablo to witness an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean.
⠀
After seeing a Condor flying over us and stumbling upon a Guanaco that was roaming the area we reached the top, where you can find this Old Lighthouse.
⠀
After having a couple of snacks while our guides from @tierraturismo and @canal_fun shared some cool information about the area, we took a little bit of time to enjoy the view of the Desdemona from the top and to play around this old lighthouse.
⠀
It was built around 1940, but just a couple of years after that an earthquake left it in the position you can see in the photo. A new one was built with the proper corrections to avoid this would happen again, but this one remained and has become a well-known landmark.
⠀
Soon after, though, it started raining a little bit and we maded our way back to those cool Land Rovers we rode around the Island. Maybe Nature sensed our hunger, since it rained for only 20 minutes after, and stopped as soon as we reached the lunch spot close to the ship.

Ashy-headed Geese flying over A colony of King Penguins in Tierra del Fuego
⠀
During #AdventureWeekTDF we were pretty lucky to see penguins not just once, but twice: first the Gentoos on our first day in Argentina, and then the Kings by the end of the trip in Chile.
⠀
On our way to Porvenir to board our charter back to Punta Arenas, we stopped along the way in @parquepinguinorey to learn a little bit more about these fellas.
⠀
The park began after 2010 when a group of close to 100 of these guys arrived to the place. People were very curious and pretty much harassed them, so a local family who owns the property took the initiative to protect the 8 penguins that did stay and educate visitors to further the conservation project.
⠀
To avoid being intrusive, we watch them from afar behind a wooden wall built to limit the area according to the best conservation practices and using binoculars, but that’s more than enough to feel the connection with them. You can hear their cries, and they have a very particular one. At first I thought there was a drone in the area, but then I realized it was them. As they got close to the young ones that look up and make that funny sound.
⠀
Praises to the family, team of scientists, and volunteers who take on the task of caring for this beautiful birds!
