Colima Volcano & Birdwatching tour


La Sra. Maricela, de visita de Ciudad Juárez por cuestiones de trabajo en Colima. De fondo una caldera volcánica y un bello atardecer. Esto absolutamente supera el quedarse en el hotel sin nada que hacer!


Apredimos tambíén acerca del proceso del café, desde su cosecha, seleccion, tostado, molido y empacado. También le mostramos como se combate la broca del café.  ahhhhhhhh sin olvidar la degustación de una buena taza de café. También podemos observar como ya esta comenzando a madurar el cafeto a una altura aproximada de 1,000 metros sobre el nivel del mar.



Y por último no podiamos dejar de tomar fotos de este pájaro carpintero (ARCON WOODPECKER) una de las numerosas aves que se pueden observar en la parte norte del Estado de Colima.
