My name is Carlos; I am a 24 year old third year law student. I caught the travel bug when I was 20 years old and sailed around the world on the MV Explorer from Jan. 2008 to May 2008. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I learned a lot about myself along the journey, I don't know if I would have the passion for travel I do now if it was not for that experience. Ever since I can’t get enough, going so many places I would've never even dreamed just a few years ago when I was complacently trapped in my American bubble. In what is presumably my last summer of freedom before I become imprisoned by corporate America, I am embarking on a journey through South America. Mostly to become fluent in a language I should’ve been taught a long time ago as a child being half Puerto Rican, but also to see, learn, explore and grow in a way only possible through travel.

Botanical Gardens













            Jardin Botanico Joaquin Antonia Uribe is a large garden with a huge display of orchids, trees, butterflies and other plants.  There is a huge world-class orchid exhibit every August, and that is the only time there is an entry fee.  There are two restaurants and a coffee shop.  Several areas to layout or have a picnic or just read.  The covered area of the garden hosts a large yoga class on certain days of the week.  If you are looking for a relaxing 2-3 hours and like open areas this is a good place to visit.
