About me:

My name is Juan Pablo Viteri, I am 19 years old; currently, I am studying Economics and International Business, simultaneously with Business Administration, at Icesi University. I am in 5th semester of Business Administration and 4th of Economics. Although the university requires much time, I like enjoying extracurricular activities like the gym or arts activities. Regarding arts, I love music and for this reason I Started play the violin 2 years ago; I like symphonic music, also power metal, and some popular rhythms like Salsa, Electro and others.

On the hand, I have a simple taste in respect of food, because I do not eat meat, neither sweets. The only fast food I eat is pizza. Sometimes I eat a lot of pizza, specifically with mushroom, jalapeño chili, onions and olives toppings. So leaving pizza aside, really, my diet is very healthy.

Talking About clothes, I frequently use Polo-Shirts with jeans and sport shoes specially Nike or Adidas; I use these brands for comfort and style.

¿Why am I writing this blog?

My country is place of wondrous variety. It has many climates, and we have some places that you would not in your wildest fantasies dream existed. Everyone who knows little about Colombia thinks that all there is to it is Cartagena and other well-known cities. Well, those are not the only options, Cocha lagoon is an example, this is a place of magnificent beauty and a really rare place to find. This lovely place has many interesting aspects like natural variety, history, as well as myths and legends.

Experience in Cocha Lagoon

Regarding traveling, I like to go to fauna rich places like lakes, lagoons, natural reserves, and parks.  For example, when I go to my native town in Nariño, usually I visit the Cocha Lagoon. The Cocha lagoon is a natural reserve located southwest of our country, I chose to go there, because I think it is beautiful place. I have gone many times to Cocha lagoon but the last time was 3 years ago in the new year’s celebration, January 1st, I was waking up, when my uncle came to my house, and he invited me and my family to travel to cocha lagoon. I had not traveled to Cocha lagoon  in a long time, so I liked the idea, initially I felt bad because I had a really bad hangover , but during the travel, bit to bit, I was feeling better. The journey  from Pasto takes about 30 minutes to Cocha Lagoon. There, The trout is very popular, for this reason when We came, the first that we did was eat that. Then, We had a brief tour of the town, and We learned a traditional myth that we did not know, It was about the cacique Pucara, according to the myth, The cocha lagoon came into being by, a treason of Pucara wife, the princess Tamia.

Later, we sailed the Cocha lagoon on boat towards “Corota”, This is a little island and it is located at the center of the Cocha lagoon, which preserves a beautiful and unique rainforest of cold floor,  this experience was too enjoyable, because I was able to be in contact with nature, see animals, plants and, I appreciated the beauty of flora and fauna from this place.
