Puerto Rico – Inside San Juan – Castillo San Cristobal


The main thing that invites us to a place is the biodiversity in that location. So apart from visiting the rainforest ElYunque and dry forest Gaunica, what else attracted us in Puerto Rico ? Its the beach and the culture of Puerto Rico . There are beaches everywhere and for the people who love sunrise and sunset in beaches its a best place for vacation. When we were in the beach watching sunset and talking to a local he suggested the fortress in San Juan was one of the main tourist attractions. We usually avoid tourist places, but the next information he told us kindled our curiosity to visit the fortress. Its that Iguanas in the fortress! We know its still not counted as real wild Iguana, but atleast seeing a free roaming Iguana is not a sight that everyone gets to see. So why to miss the chance and we really wanted to see the local culture as well.

The Government building in old San Juan.

 

 

 

 

 

The Castillo San Cristobal is part of San Juan National Historic Site. The fortress was built on a hill and survived attacks from English, Dutch. The upper part of the fortress had quite a good view of seashore and there was a cruise waiting for its passengers. It was really a strange view to see from the fortress completed in 1783. Since the fort is right at the sea shore there was  constant sea breeze making the visit pleasant.

View of sea from Castillo San Cristobal fort.

This was the first time we were seeing a cruise and it was really huge. But soon enough we saw something even bigger than a cruise – a rain storm ! It was a nice sight to see the approaching rain clouds engulfing the cruise liner.

Voyagers started getting inside the cruise. Seeing Titanic movie so many times made me always fearful for cruises.

Soon enough the rain clouds hit us also and we ran for cover inside the fort. The inside of the fort contained dungeons , water storage facilities, garrisons etc. There were informative boards on all structures giving a glimpse into history but we hardly bothered the name boards as they most often provide you history the way the establishment wants to prove and not the actual. We just roamed inside the fort clicking some pictures. Once the weather cleared we were again out in the open and to our amazement the place quickly dried up. Now the prime attraction for us was the green iguana which was roaming very casually in the fortress. These lizards were brought to the island as pets and they have no natural predators to keep their population in control. They are native to Central and South America, so they got well adapted to the similar weather in Puerto Rico . This is another example of the disaster made by man without understanding the environment and consequences.

The iguana was relaxing under the sun in the fortress. Though it was considered as pest in Puerto rico, we enjoyed seeing it.

Once we had clicked the iguana it was time to hit the streets surrounding the fort. The vintage streets offered a glimpse into the past and they were maintained well indeed. One has to admire the discipline with which they park the vehicles not even one out of line. It will take years to have this mindset change in India.

The old houses in San Juan main center were painted and maintained for tourism purposes.

We had already tried Puertorican rice and Pigeon peas on the way back from El yunque National Park which was very similar to our South Indian food. We wanted to try other local foods and ordered Amarillitos not knowing what it was. When the food came it was just plantain fruit fry which is a very common snack in Tamilnadu and Kerala. Though its our favorite food, finding the same so far from our home made us lose the feeling of uniqueness of this dish. In the city centre there were few well molded statues that attracted the tourists. The street cats were sitting bored at the sight of tourists.

The Puerto rico Black Cat!!He was getting food from tourists and enjoying his life.

All the houses were reconstructed in latest models, but to secure the heritage the tourism department has depicted the city centre buildings in their old cultural way. It was relaxing to see the beach sitting in the park with Pinacolada in hand. We are birders even if we are in city, so our eyes were searching for the common birds that learnt to adopt to the city. Common Grackle was curiously watching for any food it can pickup on the ground. For non-birders this bird just looks like a crow. When you look at it closer, the yellow eyes and iridescent blue color gives the bird a colorful look.

Common grackle with its golden eye.

They were not very shy, so we were watching them walking casually. Even the lazy street cats don’t mind these birds. There was a familiar screech sound from the tree branches just above the park bench we were sitting. Those screech sounds were from monk parakeets, another name is Quaker parrot. These parakeets are an introduced species in Puerto Rico . They are quite intelligent and build nests like apartments.

Parakeets usually adopt to city life. These Monk parakeet flocks were happily nesting on a tree which was in the center of San Juan main shopping area.

Evening there were music and dances giving the city a happy and romantic feel. There were couples,families,loners enjoying the sunset in the sea. There were street shops with handbags heaped for sale just like in India. There were lots of street shops for food, most of it were seafood stalls. There were octopuses,crabs,fishes hanging on the stalls ready for frying. We felt slightly overwhelmed with the displays and went to Starbucks for a cup of choco milkshake.

What to do in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico – Places of Mexico

When planning a trip to Mexico, be sure to visit San Cristobal de las Casas in the state of Chiapas. The city is famous for its ancient architecture, cozy streets and parks, expat hangouts and unique magical atmosphere. The locals still wear the national dress and you can visit the large handicraft market in the square in the very center of the city. San Cristobal is located at an altitude of more than 2000 meters above sea level, there is no heat here, and even cool in the morning, and this is an ideal place for those who are tired of the closeness of coastal resorts. nine0003

Walking tour of the city

San Cristobal will be remembered, first of all, for its architecture, pastel houses with tiled roofs and cobbled streets. This is a city of pedestrians, a car is not needed here. At first glance, the European atmosphere is mixed with Mexican flavor. However, the city has no pre-colonial history. Compared to other Mexican cities, the impact of industrialization is not very noticeable here.

To get to know the main attractions of San Cristobal, it is best to take a transitional tour. Several free city tours run by volunteers depart daily from the central Zocalo square. Tours are in Spanish and English. nine0003

On a walking tour, you can admire churches, parks and squares, picturesque houses with wrought iron balconies, monuments and generally feel yourself in the thick of local life. Guides tell urban legends and drive to places hidden from prying eyes, which are no less interesting than the main sights of the city. The tours usually last about 3 hours and cover, in addition to many interesting places, the lively local craft markets. San Cristobal is famous for its local art, so check out the work of local artists. nine0003

If hiking isn’t your thing, take a ride on El Coleto. This is an old wooden tram that offers guided tours in English.

Cathedrals and churches

The history and heritage of San Cristobal is well preserved in its magnificent temples. The Cathedral is a colonial building with baroque architecture dating back to the 17th century. You can appreciate its interior and admire the well-preserved works of art, the altar of the kings, paintings and other religious paintings and artifacts. nine0003

Another notable church is the exquisite Templo de Santo Domingo, with a pink façade. This church and former monastery from the 1700s are considered the most beautiful in the city.

Be sure to visit the Iglesia de Guadalupe, located on top of a hill and surrounded by a small square. Climb the 79 steps of this church built in 1834 and you will be rewarded with unparalleled panoramic views of the city.

San Juan Chamula

Ten kilometers from San Cristobal is the town of San Juan Chamula. It is inhabited by the descendants of the Indians and is unlike any other in Mexico. St. John’s Church is admirable. At first, you might think that this is an ordinary church, of which there are many in Mexico. But inside you will discover a completely different world. There are no benches in the church, parishioners sit on the floor, pine needles are scattered everywhere. Everywhere are glass boxes with statues of saints, hundreds of candles and mirrors to ward off evil spirits. You will be able to observe the mysterious rituals and chants that are constantly taking place in the church. There is a completely different atmosphere than we are used to seeing in Catholic churches. nine0003

It is not allowed to take pictures or videotape the ceremonies in the church.

Sumidero Canyon

A day trip to Sumidero Canyon is what you will most enjoy and remember. Many people come to Chiapas because of Sumidero.

The formation of the canyon began about 35 million years ago as a result of the appearance of deep cracks in the earth’s crust. Later, the Grijalva River increased erosion and formed such an unusual landscape.

Boats depart from the pier in the small town of Chiapa de Corso. A three-hour boat trip will give you an exciting journey through the canyon, the walls of which reach a height of 760 meters. The nature here is so wild that it takes your breath away. From a close distance, you can see egrets, vultures, kingfishers and even crocodiles that live in the river. In some places, picturesque waterfalls break out of the walls of the canyon, and the boatman will give you a lift almost under the water jets. nine0003

Tours can be booked in advance, there are always places on the boats, and the guides speak Spanish and English.

Feedback on promotional tour in Bali

Tatyana Bavykina (ELLAS, Moscow))

Good afternoon, dear colleagues!

I want to express my deep gratitude to ITM Group and the head of the promotional tour Yurina Irina for organizing an amazing promotional tour to Indonesia in Bali, held from 10/18/2022-10/28/2022.

Once again I was convinced of the highest quality of advertising tours by this tour operator, because I have been a participant in promotional tours organized by ITM Group more than once, and I was also convinced of the high qualification of the employees who organize and conduct such events. nine0003

I was sincerely glad that in this promotional tour we were shown the best in Bali, including the unique opportunity to live in the best hotels on different coasts of the island and in its heart – Ubud (hotel COMO Shambhala Estate 5 * – is beyond praise). In addition, the competent combination of work and leisure, as well as the presentations prepared by the receiving and sending parties for the participants of the promotional tour, given that the participants of the tour were only girls, was very pleasant. I would also like to note the personal participation of Irina Yurina in resolving any issues related to the promotional tour – everything was perfect! Bravo! nine0003

I really hope that all participants of this promotional tour will still have the opportunity to join other promotional tours conducted by this unique ITM Group Tour Operator!

I am grateful in advance,

Bavykina Tatyana
