Trujillo is the capital of the La Libertad, region in Peru, located near to the Pacific Ocean and was once the first city fecundated by Spanish conquerors in America. Trujillo is named “The city of eternal spring”, because all time it is sunniest and the temperature is about 22 °C. In early October is celebrated “The international spring festival”.
In my trip by Trujillo in 2006 visited many historical places around of Trujillo and Huanchaco beach, was really magic see in the cost: the “Totora horses” (legendary boat of the ancestral civilizations).
Moche and Chimu civilization were represented by old palaces and city, actually in studies by archaeologies and foundation. The most fantastic ruins of the Chimu were in my opinion Chan-chan. It is the world’s large city built of adobe and in this wall was recorder the activities Chimu. I like the representation the activities of fishing. In 1986 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.) adhered this place as World Heritage Site.
Other wonderful places are represented by Moche civilizations, this ruins are Huacas of the sunny, of the moon and the witch. These places have many floors and now the archaeologies are studying each floor and describing different items. Only parts of the Huacas are open of public exhibitions. I was fascinated by the civilization Moche and Chimu.

Paradise of the Flamingos in the Caribbean Sea.
Flamingos o Togogos are common named with the big rubber and aquatic birds. The scientific name is Phoenicopterus ruber ruber, and now the best place in Caribbean Sea is the Wetland Olivitos. This area is located in Northeast of the Maracaibo Lake in Zulia Estate, Venezuela and is a beautiful natural paradise under national and international protection.
Olivitos area is where fresh waters go in to sea and the mix water (salt and fresh) form one extend are named wetland, ideal place by foot and reproduction of the species the birds and fishes. Foot availability is the more attractive condition of the sensitive population of the flamingos, because permitted sustainability population.
The Caribbean flamingos are moving in many places in the Caribbean coast, the more important are: Bonaire, Aruba, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peninsula of Yucatan.
I worked with the population of flamingos in Olivitos by four years, but only in monitoring and following with the behave, because this is indicative of change in the population, for example if the individual has a neck extending and see only sky is behave of couple and the next building nest with mud. The investigator o management of this area need constantly see the population by the planning the word.

Natural Areas in Categories of Protection.
I worked many years in management of Natural Areas (N.A) under protection in Venezuela. I liked this work, but in developing countries is more difficult this activity, because others situations are most important by the government and the resources assigning is less. Organizations of the United Nations (U.N.) development programs help in this countries and preserver ecosystem of the interesting world.
U.N. defined many categories of the protection in natural areas. The most important categories are The Biosphere Research, these areas generally are located in many countries, because the bigger ecosystem are extending in long areas, but National Parks (N.P.) is the most common categories in South, Central and North America, and many areas are denominated N.P. and it is different of the metropolitan and urban parks, the principal goal of the first is only preservation and conservation of the natural resources and in the second is used of the area in activities educational and recreational.
Each country has important N.A. In Venezuela the better is La Gran Sabana and represent the older formation geological in the world and the principal characteristic is the rainforest and the bigger fall.
