In an instant, you can do many things at once, like this time when I got some exercise hiking through the hills towards Leofling and Cachamay National Parks. I also connected with and appreciated nature, and, very importantly, I took photos of everything I saw. It's my deep appreciation for this kind of environment; it's truly paradise, and I usually enjoy it immensely despite the heat and intense humidity characteristic of these tropical rainforest areas.
But that's what I like to do every few days of the month when I visit these parks. It's always like a new beginning, and I never get bored exploring these places. Nature changes throughout the days, the light constantly shifts, and of course, the weather influences everything I see. All these factors contribute to seeing this place in different ways, yet with the same harmony.
It's an encounter I often have with nature; you feel that energy of tranquility and serenity, but also a touch of mystery about seeing and learning about these places. It's as if there are spirits that want to tell us stories of those who may have been in these areas in the past—so many animals, people, or even nature itself. These photographs are my way of showing what I admire about this place and all that it contains, from the great trees and plants to the rivers.
All photographs are my own.
