El Mirador is a large pre-Columbian Mayan settlement, located in the north of the modern department of El Petén, Guatemala.
El Mirador was first discovered in 1926, and was photographed from the air in 1930, but the remote site deep in the jungle had little more attention paid to it until Ian Graham spent some time there making the first map of the area in 1962. A detailed investigation was begun in 1978 with an archaeological project under the direction of Bruce Dahlin (The Catholic University of America) and Ray Matheny (Brigham Young University). Dahlin's work focused primarily on the bajo swamps and mapping, while Matheny's team focused primarily on excavations in the site center and architecture. This project ended in 1983. To the surprise of the archaeologists, it was found that a large amount of construction was not contemporary with the large Maya classic cities in the area, like Tikal and Uaxactun, but rather from centuries earlier in the Pre-Classic era (see: Mesoamerican chronology).

DESDE MELCHOR DE MENCOS, PARA PETEN, GUATEMALA, PAISANOS EN LA UNIÓN AMERICANA Y EL MUNDO ENTERO.
Título: “Soltar La Voz” Álbum: Soltar la Voz Año: 2015 Abro las alas para un vuelo, Sin despegar los pies del suelo. En las alturas siempre hay miedos que vencer. Mi pensamiento no está en venta, Si al fin y al cabo lo que cuenta Es poder ser el dueño de mi propio ser. No es complicado lo que pido, Que mis recuerdos se hagan nido, Y que la angustia viva en otro lugar. Siempre sostengo mi bandera, Y defenderla es la manera De no perder de vista lo que tengo que enfrentar. Y aunque me quede sordo yo tendré una voz enjaulada en mi mente. Por más que haya silencios, es mi corazón el que canta lo que siente. Es tiempo de Soltar La Voz, Dejar que vuele a través del tiempo; Por siempre libre y sin temor A dejar salir el alma de mi interior. Ahora me toca a mí éste viaje, La vida misma es ...

The Hotel California: Is an architectural, artistic and culinary masterpiece. The iconic building and grounds explode with color and showcase colonial Mexican architecture and furnishings. Original tile floors and a 100-year-old beam across the ceiling are juxtaposed with modern Mexican artwork. It's a fantastic photo opportunity. Although it is still a point of discussion whether or not the classic Eagle's song refers specifically to this local hotel, over the years thousands have flocked to the area to see the "mirrors on the ceiling and the pink champagne on ice". El Mirador, San Jose del Cabo: Moving across the corridor to the older San Jose del Cabo, we have el Mirador de San Jose del Cabo, with incredible views over the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez, as well as the surrounding d...

Bolivia, a landlocked South American country, holds the promise of discovery for adventurous souls. While pretty Sucre, “La Ciudad Blanca,” is Bolivia’s judicial capital, La Paz is its political capital and also its main tourist hub.

Deep in the valley below lies the central Plaza Murillo, home to the most precious buildings: the Presidential Palace, National Congress and Metropolitan Cathedral.

el mirador deportivo
La gente si muove
la musica cresce
e ancora un altro muro viene giy!
muratore muratore
costruisce muri il muratore
muri da dipingere e da colorare
muri da fare crollare da fare crollare
Babylon Jerico, Porta Pia il Colosseo
il muro di Berlino Machu Picchu
le torri gemelle
le piramidi d'Egitto
il muro di cinta il muro del pianto
le case popolari di ferro e cemento
mura che delimitano il territorio
mura che sorreggono torri d'avorio
mura di parole
mura di potere mura da fare crollare
mura per proteggere e per dividere
fragili da fare ridere
butta la palla di l`!
non c'h muro che mi tenga
non c'h buio che mi spenga
muratore muratore
costruisce muri il muratore
armato di cemento armato costruisce un
nuovo muro
con i pezzi di quello crollato da poco
il muratore va e non si fermer`
a creare nuovi muri di disparit`
e mura la natura
e mura la cultura
e mura tutto cir che fa paura
ma il pensiero non lo puoi murare
perchh il pensiero h duro h cielo puro
e sta di qua e di l` dal muro
la gente si muove
