episode transcription

Hello, it is a pleasure to greet you, I am Yael Yancelson and today we fly quickly with the power of imagination and senses to an island located between Dominica and Saint Lucia, we arrive in Martinique, so breathe, give me your hand, let me guide you and we will begin! !

Martinique is part of the group of the Little Antilles or “Wind Islands”. It is bathed to the east by the Atlantic Ocean and to the west by the Caribbean Sea. We will see a landscape full of contrasts, with the Bald Mountain to the North and the more gentle to the south. Many have classified it as the France of the Caribbean since it belongs to this country, we will see authentic Creole architecture, tropical beaches in the south and abundant wildlife.

The capital is Fort-de-France which is the main gateway to the island of Martinique. Let’s go to La Savane park, the Saint Louis Cathedral, the market to enjoy very characteristic smells and flavors and feel the pulse of its people. Then we can walk to the Fort of San Luis, take the promenade, enter the Library and the Pre-Columbian Museum of Archeology and Prehistory for a while.

Trekking lovers have their own paradise in Martinique with a simple route to the La Couleuvre waterfall. There we will enjoy a stream of water more than 120 meters high.

If I tell you to think of a beach, you will surely visualize almost white sand, corals, crystal clear water and palm trees, right? Well, just like La Grande Anse des Salines, it is in my opinion the most beautiful beach in Martinique, and it truly represents the beach that we all have in mind when we think of the French Caribbean island: it is very popular, so there are You have to arrive early or better during the week to avoid crowds, you have to relax in its calm sea perfect for swimming. A more lively beach is Anse Mitan, which is the main one in Les Trois-Ilets, where we will enjoy music, bars and restaurants. In addition to many fun water activities such as diving, kayaking or jet skiing. Located in a fishing village lost in time. Full of colorful boats waiting for fishing time and giving an old touch, we visited Anse Dufour, an ideal place to snorkel and explore the seabed with numerous tropical fish and beautiful sea turtles or rent a catamaran.

Let’s walk to see Cap 110, a monument to slavery erected on the beach of Anse Caffard, in the south of the island, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery, in 1998. This memorial is the work of local artist Laurent Valère and the work pays tribute to the victims of the shipwreck of a clandestine slave ship transporting 300 slaves that occurred in 1830, when the trade was already declared illegal. What do you think if we now go to the so-called habitats, especially Clement, which was founded in 1887 and is a Historical Monument of France since, as you can see, it maintains the original structures and rooms from the end of the 19th century in a perfect state of conservation? . These are the old agricultural plantations of cocoa, tobacco and especially sugar intended for the production of rum, because some of the best rums in the Caribbean are produced here. And we are going to walk through the 160 hectare botanical garden with more than 300 trees and tropical plants, visit the distillery and taste their Clement Rum obviously, cheers!

And this is how we leave this beautiful and interesting region of the planet with the desire to return. We will travel every week to another corner of this wonderful world, to discover, enjoy and fly with the imagination, I wait for you every Friday and I ask you if you like me Share the content with your friends and give me a like and a review of your comments because with that you help me a lot to raise the ranking of this podcast, ALTERNATIVE REALITY A UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT SPACE THAT CREATES COMMUNITY.

If you want to know what the Includeme foundation does for the labor and social integration of people living with intellectual disabilities, go to the link: www. incluyeme.org and if you are moved and interested, check out how you can support this interesting project.

I discovered that in Martinique there are tourist pages where you can book private tours and if you have a hearing disability you can request that your guide speak sign language or if there is no available one, you can talk to him in advance to explain your specific needs, to talk to you face to face and slowly so that I can read his lips and understand his explanations.

I’ll tell you a little about how hearing disability is an invisible and little understood disability.

What is lost is the ability to understand oral language and be able to

communicate with the other person in that language.

There are many reasons why a person can lose their hearing, it can

lose at birth or during their life. And there are many ways to communicate when living with a hearing disability, the option of oralization with the help of technology, that is, hearing aids or the cochlear implant and the support of language therapies or the use of Mexican sign language in both options is It is extremely important to involve the entire family 100% to support each other and understand how to communicate with the person living with the disability.

It is important to emphasize that in this podcast we cover all types of hearing disabilities and that is why we have an LSM interpreter, a complete transcript of the episode on the website and subtitles on the YT channel. Well, it is so that everyone can enjoy each of the trips, which is why it also has accessible and inclusive navigation, unique in our country.

Huasteca Potosina

San Luis Potosi, México

In today’s episode we are going to La Huasteca Potosina, a region dominated by rivers, waterfalls and abysses where we can enjoy the magical connection with nature. As always, we will be accompanied by our guide Fabiola, an interpreter of Mexican Sign Language, and before flying with the power of imagination and being able to enjoy this tour, I want to tell you that what we are looking for in this podcast, by the way, the only one in Mexico dedicated to the community that lives with any type of hearing disability, it is first of all to create a community that helps and to be able to raise funds so that people with hearing problems have the help they need.

episode transcription

Hello, I’m glad to greet you, I’m Yael Yancelson and today we fly quickly with the power of imagination and senses to the beautiful region of Huasteca Potosina, Mexico, so breathe, shake my hand, let me guide you and let’s get started!!

We arrived at a splendid place for its landscapes and exuberant vegetation, for its rivers and spectacular waterfalls, for its caves and deep abysses.

Undoubtedly, this site has the magic in each of its archaeological sites and the greatness of its ethnic groups that, by living their pre-Hispanic customs and traditions, take us back to a past that is still present in every corner of this fascinating region of Mexico.

Ciudad Valles, welcomes us with great infrastructure and a few minutes we arrive at Micos, we need very cool and comfortable exercise clothes, bring shoes to get wet because now this trip will be an extreme adventure, let’s see this beautiful set of seven staggered waterfalls, that give rise to the formation of crystalline and bluish pools. What do you think if we take advantage of the practice of kayaking, jumping from the waterfalls and rafting, among other adventure activities such as the zip line by bike, that although we are afraid we have to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity and dare to do it, dare to open your eyes and feel the magnificence of this place, come on!!! Then there is rafting, rappelling, caving, skydiving, hiking, scuba diving, scuba diving and mountain biking. So we’re going to go all out and be very adventurous in this episode.

Full of enigmatic corners, the municipality of Aquismón welcomes us, which is a site of inexhaustible fertility and full of enigmatic corners, where the main tourist attractions of the Huasteca area are concentrated. One of the 13 Wonders of Mexico is located here, the Basement of Las Golondrinas, one of the most beautiful and deepest abysses in the world, with a depth of 512 m, and where thousands of birds that live inside make this place a true spectacle as they come out daily in a spiral. The most impressive and beautiful waterfall in San Luis Potosí is located in this municipality: Tamul, with a fall of 105 m. The best way to appreciate it in all its splendor is entering the community of Tanchachín, where you can rent boats that will take you up the river; On the way we will climb the Cueva del Agua, to enjoy its calm transparency and from there visit the Mantetzulel caves, which is a huge cavern divided into four rooms, in which nature has created whimsical rock formations that recreate different figures. This place is excellent for hiking.

A place that I have always wanted to go to and today it becomes a reality is precisely in the municipality of Xilitla and it is the Surrealist Garden of Sir Edward James, a mystical place where this sculptor and poet built whimsical sculptures based on magical symbols that came to decorate a paradisiacal place characterized by its exotic vegetation and its natural waterfalls of more than 70 m high, which was used by James to build some refreshing pools. It is a universe that is hard to believe because it really is the invention of Edward James. Here the sculptural pieces have been trapped among the vegetation of a beautiful jungle. Can you feel the energy of the place?

Finally, we will go to Tamuín, a town where the most important archaeological sites in the state are located: Tamtok, a site inhabited between 600 B.C. and 1500 AD, in which monolith 32 was recently discovered, weighing approximately 30 tons; and Tamohi, where the sculptural work of El Adolescente Huasteco was discovered, considered a representation of the young God Quetzalcóatl. How interesting, right? Definitely, this state of San Luis Potosí is a place full of contrasts, characterized by the beauties of its landscapes, its welcoming climates, cultural and multi-ethnic diversity, its archaeological riches, crafts and folklore, but above all its friendly people, with a generous and noble soul. heart that attended us during the tour.

I also tell you that on my page we already have the Amaoir section with capsules from Dr. Gonzalo Corvera, a doctor specializing in otoneurology. In Mexico. He was one of the first to begin performing operations to place cochlear implants in adults, adolescents, and children. It is currently the one that has carried out the most operations in our country.

The AMAOIR Foundation, which he chairs, supports implant candidates

cochlear disorders to get donations, gives important family counseling as well as auditory-verbal therapies.

Hearing impairment is an invisible and little understood disability.

What is lost is the ability to understand spoken language and to be able to

communicate with the other person in that language.

There are many causes for which a person can lose their hearing, it can be

Here I present the Amaoir section. I am sure that you will learn extremely useful and interesting things about hearing impairment.

VIDEO DOCTOR

Very specifically, let’s say a child who has a little earache is perfect, take him to the pediatrician, but if the ear problem is being repetitive and the pediatrician is getting out of hand, then that’s when you look for another type of specialty that was traditionally otolaryngologists, neurologists are people who studied medicine, then we specialized in otolaryngology and then we did a second specialty in neurootology, because you really found yourself or I found myself finishing otolaryngology, which I still have a lot to learn about hearing and it is really a very complex structure and depends on many factors. So the more severe the problem is, the better it is for you to see a specialist or subspecialist.

I want to thank Fabiola Ruiz Bedolla, our Mexican Sign Language interpreter, and her entire team of collaborators, as well as a very special thanks to Mercedes Obregón, director of the Pedagogical Institute for Language Problems, IPPLIAP.

Managua, Nicaragua

In today’s episode we go to the shores of Lake Xolotlán, we fly to Managua Nicaragua, accompanied by our guide Fabiola, an interpreter of Mexican Sign Language and before flying with the power of imagination and being able to enjoy this tour, I want to tell you what We are looking in this podcast, by the way, the only one in Mexico dedicated to the community that lives with any type of hearing impairment, it is first of all to create a community that helps and to be able to raise funds so that people with hearing problems have the help they need It is also a project that seeks to give you a space to learn about different histories, cultures, uses, customs, music, art and gastronomy from around the world and learn something new in each episode.

episode transcription

Hello, I’m glad to greet you, I’m Yael Yancelson and today we fly quickly with the power of imagination and the senses to the City of Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, so breathe, give me your hand, let me guide you and let’s get started!

The name of Managua comes from the Nahuatl “managuac” and means “Surrounded by Ponds”; It is also known as “The Bride of Xolotlán”

We start in the Laguna de, Xiloá, a nice place to swim since its waters are easily accessible and its wide coast also offers a good opportunity to sunbathe. We also have the opportunity to practice sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and diving.

Xiloá is located on the Chiltepe peninsula, surrounded by several mountains, and is a good opportunity for hiking. Nature is abundant and the view is impressive. From the top of certain mountains, not only can you see the waters and coasts of Xiloá, but you can also see Lake Managua and the capital city. It is also possible to go to the other side of the lagoon and climb the hills that surround another nearby lagoon, that of Apoyeque, so let’s walk to enjoy nature.

Another option during the visit, if you like it, is to camp on the shores of the lagoon, and the best place to do it is the tourist center. Let’s see the Apoyeque volcano that erupted thousands of years ago. In 1988, the temperatures of the lagoon began to rise and a strong smell of sulfur began to be felt. There are still active fumaroles on this volcano. Despite being inactive, there is some volcanic activity around Apoyeque.

The Natural Reserve of ‘El Chocoyero’ is a great place to hike and observe nature. This reserve is located less than 30 kilometers from Managua. The last seven kilometers cross pineapple, coffee and banana plantations. The view is magnificent, don’t you think? The old volcanic chain surrounds the reserve and nature is everywhere. El Chocoyero is always green and wildlife flourishes. Two types of monkeys inhabit the park: the howler monkey and the white-faced monkey. The howler monkey is bigger, black and howls a lot. They can be heard from afar. White-faced monkeys are rarer to see, but they come down from the mountains in the afternoon and that is when they can be seen from the regular paths. We will also see many birds. The reserve is famous for its green chocoyos, whose nests are near the falls. These can be seen in large numbers in the mornings when they take off and leave, and in the evenings when they return. During the day they walk throughout the reserve looking for food. We arrive walking to the waterfalls that are small but worth climbing. The water comes from rain from the mountains above and is collected for later use as drinking water by nearby communities.

From there we go to the city and they tell us that after the 1972 earthquake, the center of Managua was completely destroyed. It is because of this devastating earthquake that today Managua does not have a true center. New shopping centers and hotels were built in other locations, which are the basis of the modern structure of Managua.

The old center is partially intact. There are several buildings that date from before the earthquake – some used and others not – and that we can visit. Look in front of the Cathedral of Santiago. This impressive cathedral was not destroyed by the earthquake, but was damaged and abandoned. Next to the Old Cathedral, we find a modern building that was built as the Presidential House, but is not used as such by the current executive administration. In front of the Presidential House, we see an even more impressive building, the National Palace. The building currently functions as a museum, so let’s go inside and take a look at it. Here in La Plaza de la República, there are several monuments to commemorate Nicaraguan heroes such as Carlos Fonseca Amador and Rubén Darío. We are going to walk in a small park where most of the monuments are located.

The Rubén Darío National Theater has risen above Managua since 1969, the year it was inaugurated. When the earthquake struck Managua in 1972, the Theater was one of the few buildings that did not collapse. This building has been kept in its original style and is now the most important theater for concerts and presentations in the entire country, and considered one of the best theaters in Central America.

The Theater is a great building, especially from the perspective of construction in Nicaragua. There are several rooms where events are held. The lobby, which is large and elegant, serves as a conference room, for book launches, fashion shows, small concerts, and art exhibitions.

The Salón de los Cristales, on the second floor, took its name due to the presence of the two crystal chandeliers donated by the Spanish government when the Theater was inaugurated. This room is suitable for the exhibition of paintings, with dark walls and special lighting. The hall has a capacity of 350 to 400 people and that is why it can also be used for small concerts and presentations.

The Main Hall, or Sala Mayor, is equipped with 1,200 seats and a large stage. Here are the main concerts and presentations. The hall has good acoustics and many famous singers, actors, dancers, national and international, have enjoyed these comforts.

Now let’s go to a must-see on every trip, Roberto Huembes Market is a big and nice market in Managua. A wide variety of products are sold here. An interesting place in this market is the handicrafts section, where we can find a wide variety of products from all over Nicaragua, in materials such as leather, clay, wood, cloth, and more. In addition to handcrafted pieces, rich food and traditional clothing.

I also tell you that on my page we already have the Amaoir section with capsules from Dr. Gonzalo Corvera, a doctor specializing in otoneurology. In Mexico. He was one of the first to begin performing operations to place cochlear implants in adults, adolescents, and children. The AMAOIR Foundation, which he chairs, supports implant candidates

VIDEO DOCTOR: Almost always an ear infection if it has to be treated by a doctor, let’s say that the cardinal symptom is usually pain, almost all ear infections hurt unless they are chronic and stop hurting, but ear pain, sensation clogged ear, it is basically the first signs of an infection and later if the eardrum bursts, pus comes out through the duct but you do have to seek care.

San Miguel de Allende

                       A beautiful colonial Mexican city

In today’s episode we are going to tour the beautiful Mexican colonial city of San Miguel de Allende, accompanied by our guide Fabiola, an interpreter of Mexican Sign Language, and before flying with the power of imagination and being able to enjoy this tour, I want to tell you that What we are looking for in this podcast is first of all to create a community that helps and to be able to raise funds so that people with hearing problems have the help they need. It is also a project that seeks to give you a space to learn about different histories, cultures, uses, customs, music, art and gastronomy from around the world and learn something new in each episode.

episode transcription

Hello, I’m glad to greet you, I’m Yael Yancelson and today we fly quickly with the power of imagination and the senses to San Miguel de Allende in the state of Guanajuato, to be amazed by its artistic, architectural, cultural and gastronomic heritage. So breathe, close your eyes if possible and you are not doing anything else, give me your hand and let yourself be guided, we begin!

Located about 4 hours by road from Mexico City, in the popular state of Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende falls in love at first sight as it is one of the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico. The truth is that I think it is one of the places with the most color and bohemian atmosphere in our Republic and I love to return every time I can to visit its beautiful corners.

Beautiful cobbled streets surrounded by viceregal houses and brightly colored baroque facades of the historic center, was declared a World Heritage Site.

What if we start our visit to the old town of San Miguel de Allende in the Main Square or Jardín Allende, center and meeting point between locals and tourists.

Beautiful laurels, a small bandstand and beautiful colonial houses such as the Municipal Palace and the house of the Mayorazgo de la Canal, welcome us at this neuralgic point.

Let’s enter the most representative building of the Jardín Allende, which is undoubtedly the Parish of San Miguel Arcángel, built in 1709, what a surprising Gothic façade! It reminds me of the great European cathedrals. Do you?

As you know, I really enjoy sitting down to watch people go by and what better way to do it than on one of its wrought iron benches and feel the good atmosphere that is breathed at all hours in this square, full of artists, musicians, artisans, tourists and a very interesting mix of people who live in or visit the city.

Obviously our route will be on foot through one of the most beautiful streets in the city, Cuna de Allende.

We have to try a delicious churro in the famous Churrería San Agustín, in front of it is Juárez street where the Temple of San Francisco is located, which stands out for its facade full of saints sculpted in stone, an imposing neoclassical tower and the statue of San Francisco de Asís , located in the highest part.

The impressive facade that mixes the baroque, churrigueresque and rococo styles, contrasts with a sober interior with various paintings and murals.

This street, lined with one- and two-story viceroyalty houses with facades painted in red, yellow, and orange colors, has unique views of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel.

This street continues with Aldama Street, another of the most beautiful in San Miguel de Allende, although it is best to spend time walking slowly through all the streets located around Jardín de Allende, such as San Francisco, and entering its craft shops and have a drink in cafes like Lavanda Café and taste an exquisite coffee with a touch of lavender and enjoy the best breakfasts. Undoubtedly the joke of this city is to walk without haste, enter each store, boutique, hotel that catches your eye, try different flavors and see how much art exists around here, you should know that several foreigners, both European, American and Canadian They have stayed to live by falling in love with this small town.

In Cuna street, we cannot miss a visit to the Casa Allende Museum to learn about the life of General Ignacio de Allende, one of the main heroes of Mexican Independence. This historic building from 1760, where Ignacio Allende was born and grew up, houses a Valuable collection of pieces from the time of Independence and you can also learn about aspects of the social and cultural life of San Miguel de Allende at that time.

Some cultural spaces that are one of my favorites are the Instituto Allende, a beautiful building built in the 18th century, of great importance in education and the cultural development of the city, and the incredible Fábrica de la Aurora, a renowned center for art and design with more than 40 art galleries and studios, located in an old textile factory, on the outskirts of the old town with the best boutiques and galleries in the area, we will truly find unique things, it is worth visiting calmly.

Going up Insurgentes street we will arrive at the Temple of the Oratory of San Felipe Neri, this church that was an old Indian chapel, marvels for its monumental facade made of pink stone in 1712, presided over by Our Lady of Solitude, the Indian Virgin.After After crossing a magnificent wooden door, you will enter an interior decorated with paintings that recount the life of Felipe Neri, founder of the Congregation of the Oratory, as well as an offering area for the faithful who need a miracle.

Although in the historic center we find numerous shops with beautiful handicrafts, we have to enter the Handicraft Market full of stalls to buy the best souvenir for family and friends.

In this large market you will find all kinds of objects made with materials such as brass, wood, glass, gold and ceramics by local artisans, such as the typical Mexican catrinas.

Another of the churches is the Temple of the Immaculate Conception, known as “las Monjas” for housing a convent for the nuns of the order of the Immaculate Conception. This temple stands out for its dome supported by columns that frame large windows while in the interior preserves a valuable collection of paintings by painters from New Spain such as Miguel Cabrera.

Leaving Parque Juárez, a few meters from there we come across “los lavaderos”, a picturesque square where some people still wash their clothes while they catch up on the news of the town. Let’s go up these stone stairs while we walk among the most spectacular houses in all of San Miguel and with patience we will enjoy the landscape in its impressive viewpoint.

I also tell you that on my page we already have the Amaoir section with capsules from Dr. Gonzalo Corvera: One of the most renowned doctors in Mexico who perform cochlear implant surgery on children, young people and adults with hearing disabilities.

NEWFOUNDLAND

The most amazing nature

In today’s episode, we are going to tour the beautiful island of Newfoundland in Canada, accompanied by our guide Fabiola, an interpreter of Mexican Sign Language before flying with the power of imagination and being able to enjoy this tour, I want to tell you what we are looking for in this podcast it is first of all to create a community that helps and to be able to raise funds so that people with hearing problems have the help they need and that is why we want this project to reach a lot of people to achieve the objective, so it is extremely It is important that you subscribe to the YouTube channel, https://youtube.com/@realidadalternativaincluyente all together and with lower case letters, that you make comments on the page and that you share this project with all your people, the more it grows, the more we can help and that’s what interests us most in RA.

episode transcription

Hello, I’m glad to greet you, I’m Yael Yancelson and today we fly quickly with the power of imagination and the senses to the island of Newfoundland in Canada to be amazed by its landscapes of cliffs, fjords, and rich fauna.

So breathe, close your eyes if possible and you’re not doing anything else, give me your hand and let yourself be guided, let’s start!

Newfoundland is a large island off the northeast coast of North America, and the most populous part of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

In Latin, “terra nova” literally means “new earth”; in English, it is called Newfoundland (‘new found land’ or ‘newly found land’); It was Giovanni Caboto who in 1497, and at the service of the British crown, named the island Newfoundland. However, he was not its discoverer, because when he arrived on the island it was already populated by indigenous people from the Beothuk tribe. It is believed that this tribe was part of another group of tribes that inhabited since the year 1000 and that they could be the skraelingar of the Viking sagas.

Just off its coast, the famous Titanic Ocean Liner sank on the night of April 14, 1912. It was the first place to receive news of the Titanic’s sinking, serving as the main port for many of the post-tragedy investigations.

In 1949, after a referendum held on the island by the United Kingdom, the territory joined Canada as its tenth province along with the mainland of Labrador.

One of Newfoundland’s most important attractions is the chance to see whales and birds in their natural habitat. The west side of the island, much less populated, offers natural landscapes in the Gros Morne National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We are enjoying nature at its best, with paths and trails that run through different parts of the park. There are quaint little towns and places to eat and buy fresh seafood.

This island has one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, the Western Brook Pond fjord, which is located in the Long Range mountains and we can explore it on one of the boats from the tourist terminal.

What if we go now to Bowring Park, located in Waterford Bay which is the oldest park in the city? The entrance is through the Waterford Bridge road, which leads to a duck pond with the statue of Peter Pan. We will see that there are many recreational facilities here such as tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a children’s playground and it has important monuments that talk about the history of the city. It is a beautiful open-air space, full of families and people of all ages, where we will feed the ducks and the most sporty can choose different starting points for hiking.

Now let’s go up the hill where we can see the Cabot Tower, a small wireless telecommunications station where there is a Marconi exhibition and the communications station that worked in the tower. look how interesting, there is a radio frequency post that can be operated by amateur radio visitors during the summer months.

We’re told that Gaterhall’s is an educational cruise that has been informing tourists for 35 years who want to get a closer look at whales or see the area’s signature bird, the puffin. The cruise takes place through the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, home to these small birds and one of the best places in North America to watch whales.

When temperatures rise, icebergs begin to arrive in the area and it is quite a spectacle to see them arrive and collide with each other, producing rumbles and small waves with the debris that breaks away.

It is interesting to know that there are 3 seasons in which to visit the area:

If we want to see puffins we must travel between May and September. The whale season reaches its peak in June, and we can see them until mid-August. If what we want to see are the large blocks of icebergs, they are more frequent in the months of May and June.

Dotted with spectacular views and lapped by the Atlantic Ocean, Middle Cove Beach is one of the prettiest beaches in the area. It can be visited all year round since in winter an ice wall usually forms along the rock cliffs that make it even more spectacular, and it is highly recommended to visit it at that time of year. The remains of a Viking village. It was therefore the first confirmed Viking settlement to be found outside of Europe, along with those on the island of Greenland.

To finish we go to L’Anse aux Meadows to observe a Viking village with three small working houses and leaving we will be able to try some of the local Beers such as Black Horse, Jockey Club, and Dominion Ale, Craft Beers include an iceberg beer made with water Harvested from icebergs floating on the high seas, we will have to try it and say cheers!!!!

Hello, it gives me great pleasure to greet you, I am Yael Yancelson and today we fly quickly with the power of the imagination and the senses to the vibrant region of Rio de Janeiro, one of the most fascinating cities in Brazil and the entire world. So breathe, close your eyes if possible and you’re not doing anything else, give me your hand and let yourself be guided, let’s start!

Remember that Realidad Alternativa is a project that comes from the heart, with the idea of being inclusive and in solidarity with people who live with hearing disabilities, who have taught us that this space can be enjoyed in very different ways and that is why you can review it at the platform of your choice, remember that we already have a Mexican Sign Language interpreter and on our page, you can have accessible navigation and adjust it to your needs by clicking on the disability icon, all this so that you can enjoy each tour to the fullest and also that we will know different causes throughout each episode to help and give something in return on this wonderful planet.

Now if we come to Rio de Janeiro, its famous beaches like Ipanema, Copacabana, or Leblon; its mountainous geography at the foot of the Atlantic Ocean; its natural environment surrounded by the Tijuca National Park; its grandiose carnival and its fascinating history are some of the reasons that make this city be called “Cidade Maravilhosa”. Rio is a city of high contrasts, the gateway from Brazil to the world, and one of the most beautiful cities to live in.

We start with the Tijuca National Park. From its trilhas (walks) and viewpoints in giant rocks to Palaces that serve as Museums and Cultural Centers. The Tijuca National Park houses various points of interest, including one of the symbols of the city: Christ the Redeemer, and how about we walk to this iconic statue? It will take us approximately two and a half hours, depending on your pace.

Then we go to El Parque Lage which is located at the base of the Tijuca National Park and is considered a Historical and Cultural Heritage of the city. It is well worth visiting, not only for its exuberant vegetation but also for its Palace, built by Henrique Lage for his wife. This houses some attractions such as caves, ponds, and aquariums within its 52 hectares. If we are lucky we will have to watch a firefly show!

Rio’s beaches are so famous in popular culture that most likely you have already heard of Copacabana, Ipanema or Leblon and we have to visit them and more than anything enjoy spending some time on them. These three beaches are located in the southern part of the city and follow each other. Copa, as some locals tend to abbreviate it, is a beach with a long strip of sand and a 4-kilometer road with many options for drinking. and eat and where year after year the fireworks are launched to welcome the new year. Let’s see the most spectacular sunset at Pedra do Arpoador, a rock formation at the beginning of Ipanema, a beach that has an extension of 2.6 kilometers and has one of the most incredible views of the city with Morro Dois Irmãos at the other end.

Now it’s time to get on the famous funicular to go up to El Pan de Azúcar (a stone hill) located in the Urca neighborhood, right at the entrance to Guanabara Bay and is one of the most recognizable images of the city in all of the world. From 220 meters above sea level, we will enjoy together the impressive 360-degree view of Rio de Janeiro, Guanabara Bay, the city of Niteroi, and the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. What a beauty!!!!!

Rio has one of the most important cultural circuits in Brazil, among its Museums and Cultural Centers, most of them are in the Center or so we go to Praça Floriano, Cinelândia metro station. We arrive at the Municipal Theater which, in addition to being a very beautiful construction from 1909, houses an interesting program of ballet and symphony orchestra. Next to the Theater, we can quickly enter the National Museum of Fine Arts built in 1937 and which houses one of the most important collections of its kind in Brazil. Continuing with the circuit, all you have to do is cross the street again and reach the National Library Foundation, which has one of the most important book collections in South America and the world, including a Gutenberg Bible dating from 1462. The Museum of Amanhã focuses on human awareness of the environment and its concern for the future in a series of digital exhibitions, many of them interactive and I found it very interesting. The Moreira Salles Institute is a Cultural Center with exhibitions of photography, cinema, music, and iconography. The architecture of the place is one of the most impressive things, an example of modern Brazilian architecture from the 50s that we cannot miss! It is located in the southern zone, in the Gávea neighborhood and its entrance is free.

A must-see is the famous Sambadrome, Marquês de Sapucaí, it is the open-air stage where samba schools and their floats parade. It was designed by the architect Oscar Niemeyer, who with his modernist ideas built a stage made up of various sectors, divided into stands, and crossed by a path that leads to a square located at the end of the route and crowned by the M-shaped monument. It was inaugurated in 1984 and is located in the place where Samba was born. As we have said, it is divided into sectors, 13 in total and 4 types of locations, with a capacity for 75,000 spectators.

Another must-see, especially for soccer lovers, is the famous Maracana stadium, which is known not only in Brazil but internationally as the Temple of Soccer. We cannot forget that soccer is a fundamental part of Rio’s identity and culture, and the Maracaná is one more example of this. It is the largest stadium in the country that, in addition, for years held the title of being the largest stadium in the world. This iconic symbol of Rio de Janeiro was inaugurated on June 16, 1950, to host the Soccer World Cup that was held in Brazil that same year The Maracanã Stadium sports complex also includes other facilities such as a water park with Olympic-sized swimming pools, athletics tracks and what is known as the Maracanãzinho, a smaller, covered stadium where volleyball, basketball, and futsal matches are played. In the entrance hall, there is a tribute to those who are considered two of the best soccer players in the history of Brazilian soccer: a bust and the footprints of Garrincha, who is said to have become one of the greatest, and the footprints of Pelé’s feet along with the ball with which he scored his thousandth goal.

And to end this interesting and eventful tour, let’s climb the most beautiful staircase in the world, the Selarón Staircase, which is undoubtedly one of the most important and visited tourist spots in Rio de Janeiro. Located in the fantastic and famous bohemian neighborhood of Lapa. Jorge Selarón was a Chilean born in 1947 who built the staircase. When Selarón moved to his house, he noticed that the staircase was in terrible condition. Nobody took care of her. In 1990 he began to renovate some steps in his house. At first, he placed blue, yellow, and green tiles (the colors of the Brazilian flag), as a tribute to the Brazilians and to the Brazilian soccer team in the FIFA World Cup, in 1994. The project started as a hobby but little by little. The project soon became an addiction for Selarón. Every time he ran out of money to buy tiles, he sold more paintings. Visitors from all over the world began bringing tiles from their home countries to be added to the ladder. Today there are more than 2000 tiles from 60 countries. Pay attention, you are probably going to find the tile from some other country. hASTA sNOOP Dogg and other artists have recorded videos there.https://youtu.be/_FE194VN6c4

episode transcription

Hi, I’m glad to greet you, I’m Yael Yancelson and today we’re going to a beach with truly amazing landscapes and a very famous tourist destination in our country, we’re flying to the San José del Cabo region in Baja California Mexico, so breathe, close your eyes. eyes, give me your hand, and let yourself be guided, let’s begin!

Los Cabos is located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula and west of the rest of the Mexican Republic. The geographic region is a dynamic mix of desert landscapes, beaches, and mountainous areas. “El Arco” is the most outstanding point and is located where the Sea of Cortez joins the Pacific Ocean. Los Cabos is made up of 3 main areas: To the East is San José del Cabo, a quiet and picturesque place that maintains the appearance and the air of an authentic Mexican town. It has a pleasant Art District in the Historic Center and the marina in the Puerto Los Cabos area. To the west is Cabo San Lucas, an attractive and fun city, known for its pleasant bay, where you can do all kinds of water activities. Both cities are connected by the 33-kilometer-long Tourist Corridor, where majestic resorts and world-class golf courses are located. Los Cabos, known as the “End of the Earth”, is a perfect place where the desert and the sea meet and the adventure begins. Today we are going to focus on the small city of San José del Cabo, a tourist city at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, in Mexico, known for its sandy beaches and colonial buildings. They tell us that a long time ago in the Los Cabos region lived an ancient culture of agile runners and tireless walkers called Pericúes, who honored a superior being they called Niparajá. They were collectors, fishermen, and hunters and in the year 1530, Hernán Cortés carried out the first expeditions to explore this area, which was once used as a refuge point for pirates.

If you want to enjoy Mexican art, the best thing to do is stroll through the center, which, with its cozy architecture in the main square, has become an Art District, where it is possible to find works from different parts of the world, but mainly incredible local creations, which It makes it an excellent place to go shopping and eat on one of the pleasant terraces and the atmosphere is really spectacular, hundreds of people gathered in this small center full of art, street music, dance and more, I love it!!! look right in front of us in this Plaza Mijares, in the heart of the historic neighborhood is the missionary church of San José, which was rebuilt in 1940, is that okay with you?

Now we go to the picturesque marina facing the Sea of Cortez to visit stunning golden sand beaches, with famous spots for surfing. San José is home to great wildlife with seabirds, gray whales, dolphins, and turtles.

Well, you already know that I like adventure and adrenaline so I investigated and saw that there is a bungee in Wild Canyon just 30 minutes from Cabo San Lucas. Here there are safe jump points at 100 meters high. Will you jump from a glass-bottomed basket into a rocky canyon with me? Come on!!! I assure you that you will be able to enjoy a beautiful landscape when you launch yourself spinning towards the earth, supported by a giant elastic band. Exciting, isn’t it?

Due to its incomparable beauty and incredible marine biodiversity, Los Cabos is very popular for snorkeling. Some of the best places to do this aquatic activity can be found right next to the beaches located in the Tourist Corridor, but there are also tours to special destinations like the Cabo Pulmo National Park, where hundreds of brightly colored tropical fish inhabit the most important reef in the Sea of Cortez. We have been invited to navigate the waters on a day trip that includes snorkeling and other water activities. We cannot leave here without taking a boat and visiting El Arco, which is the distinctive icon of Cabo San Lucas, which is a rock formation that rises from the sea at the tip of the Baja California Sur Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Also known as the “End of the Earth”, El Arco is the most popular tourist attraction and the central focus of countless photos of those who visit Los Cabos we go to enjoy colonies of sea lions, try to see whales, and practice the famous paddleboard.

Later, at sunset, how about going back to “La Calle Grande or Calle Ancha” which is a well-known avenue in the historic center of the city of San José del Cabo? This avenue has much of the history and culture of the region, the scene of significant events such as parades, sporting events, carnival parties, horse races, etc. Undoubtedly here it is full of stories, legends, art, culture, and gastronomy at the same time as the pleasant atmosphere it offers, what if we go to the boutiques and galleries, I recommend that you come on Thursdays for the art walk, which is the day when that all the galleries open until late, the street becomes pedestrian offering a glass of wine in each gallery and shop, many artists talk about their work and their new projects there is music and an atmosphere is created that is very special, somewhat bohemian. Incredible right? I really enjoyed it!!!

Hello, I am glad to greet you, I am Yael Yancelson and today we are going to the most precious jewel in the Caribbean, we are flying to Kingston Jamaica, so breathe, close your eyes, give me your hand and let yourself be guided, we begin!

Kingston was founded in 1692 as the new home for the survivors of the earthquake that destroyed Port Royal. It is the capital of Jamaica and its largest city, located on the southeast coast of the island of Jamaica. Kingston is Jamaica’s seat of government and commercial capital, known for its cultural, educational, and entertainment options. Jamaica is a natural paradise in the middle of the Caribbean. It is not only because of its dreamy beaches, white sand, and turquoise water, but also because of its mountains, forests, and lakes: authentic wonders of nature. Traveling to Jamaica means visiting a tropical island full of stunning places but also delving into the Rastafarian culture, reggae, and the places where Bob Marley lived. Without forgetting its past marked by colonization and slavery. Perhaps the singer Bob Marley and the athlete Usain Bolt are two of Jamaica’s most famous characters.

Let’s go to the Bob Marley Museum which brings together objects and memories of the reggae legend. It is located in what had been the home of the singer. His birth house can also be visited. Located in the village of Nine Miles, near Ocho Ríos, it is a place of pilgrimage for the Rastafarian movement. It has been converted into a museum and is home to Marley’s mausoleum, accompanied by a guitar, a bible, and a soccer ball. Rastafarian culture is a unique fusion of African cultural traditions and Caribbean cultural influences. The Rastafarian community arose in a context of poverty and oppression, and its members identify as descendants of indigenous Africans who were forcibly displaced to Jamaica by slavery and colonialism. It has adopted the red, gold, and green colors of Africa, and can be easily identified by the traditional hand-woven tam (referred to as a “crown”), scarves, and other adornments, as well as traditional dreadlocks (braids). that many carry. The Rastafarian community finds its most immediate association with the creation and spread of reggae. At the root of this distinctive music is the oral testimony of the Rastafarian struggle to preserve their religious and cultural identity in Jamaica. Originally inspired by their experience as marginalized Africans in Jamaica, reggae music has evolved from traditional Rastafarian drum rhythms and the community’s spiritual ideology, and without a doubt, its most famous representative is this Jamaican named Bob Marley.

Now let’s enter the National Art Gallery, where there are exhibitions on the history of Jamaican art and with the best artists on the island. There is a fantastic bronze statue of Bob Marley on the ground floor and works by Dunkley John, David Miller, and McLaren Sidney, sculptures by Edna Manley, and modern pieces by Tina Matkovic, Colin Garland, and Reynolds Mallico and Kapo.

We continue walking very comfortably to find Kings House, which is the official residence of the Governor General, it is a huge and ostentatious house, have you seen it? It also has 200 hectares of gardens known as Hope Gardens and curiously I found the only Synagogue on the island here in Kingston at the intersection with Charles Street and it belongs to the United Congregation of Israelites Now to finish let’s go to the bay where the port is located from Kingston, to visit Port Royal. Did you know that it has the nickname of the “wickedest city in the west” and that it was once the land of pirates? A great earthquake destroyed it in 1692 and now the sea is full of archaeological treasures that you can explore by diving. In Port Royal, we can also see a 17th-century fort, Fort Charles, built by the English after taking the island. What a magnificent color palette we are appreciating!

Hello, I’m glad to greet you, I’m Yael Yancelson and today we’re going to a city that seems beautiful to me. We arrived in Boston in Massachusetts USA, so breathe, close your eyes, give me your hand and let yourself be guided, let’s begin!

Without a doubt, visiting Boston can be like opening an American history book. This is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the United States, the capital of the state of Massachusetts is a true melting pot of art, history, and culture.

One of the most famous events in the city’s history is the Boston Tea Party. An ideal place to learn about the political protest is the Boston Tea Party Museum Ship. So let’s get on board and actors dressed as historical figures are waiting for us to relive the moment when tea was thrown overboard in Boston Harbor. This mythical act of civil disobedience, popularly known as the Boston Tea Party, would unleash a series of social and political changes that would lead the Thirteen Colonies to become the United States of America, a new nation, and was a key factor in the American Revolution and changed the course of the country’s history

Without a doubt, you can breathe the atmosphere that was experienced on December 16, 1773, when the real event occurred. It’s interesting to know that every year, the East India Tea Company donates tea to the museum for the performance WHICH WAS QUITE AN EXPERIENCE, RIGHT?

Now let’s walk a bit to admire the beautiful architecture of the city and see all the monuments of the Freedom Trail that are located side by side with the most popular restaurants, boutiques, and bars. Do you want to know how the independence of the United States began? United in Boston? So let’s walk through the four-kilometer Freedom Path and visit the 16 historical monuments. This route along a beautiful brick path connects sites and monuments, including those related to the struggle for independence and other important places in modern Boston. I love the reddish brick of its buildings, don’t you?

Here in Boston, it’s where the newest high-tech campuses mingle with some of America’s most prestigious universities.

And we cannot fail to know Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Harvard University was founded in 1636, on the Charles River in Cambridge. Walking around the campus to see the historic halls and the impressive architecture, gives us a certain air of tradition, doesn’t it? Harvard also has an incredible collection of museums, including the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, and the Harvard Museum of Art. Let’s go quickly to the Harvard Museum of Natural History, here is the famous glass flower vase by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka.

In its beginnings, this private university only had nine students, today it has more than 371,000 living alumni and occupies the number one position in the Academic Ranking of World Universities; It is impressive to know that this library that we are entering is the largest private and academic library system in the world, comprising 79 individual libraries with more than 20 million volumes. We investigated a little about the history of this institution and we saw that already in the 19th century some Harvard faculties reluctantly accepted a small number of women in their classrooms. But in 1945, the Faculty of Medicine began to provide formally regulated university education to women. Harvard College, which is Harvard’s undergraduate training center, would become co-ed in 1977 after Harvard’s association with Radcliffe College, a sister educational institution for women, which had been founded one hundred and twenty years before. Among the former -students and current students are:

161 Nobel laureates, 18 Fields Medal winners, 14 Turing Award winners, 359 Rhodes Scholars and 242 Marshall Scholars, 10 Academy Awards, 48 Pulitzer Prizes, 108 Olympic medals, 8 Presidents of the United States, and 30 Heads of State foreign. It’s so important for a reason!

And that is how we leave this beautiful and interesting region of the planet with the desire to return.

Hello, I am glad to greet you, I am Yael Yancelson and today we are going to a city full of dance, music, flavor, and tradition, we arrive at Xalapa Veracruz in Mexico, so breathe, close your eyes and let yourself be guided, we begin.

episode transcription

The word Xalapa comes from the Nahuatl Xallapan (from Xalli: sand, apan: river or spring) which is “spring in the sand”.

The costume of the Xalapeña woman is composed of a blouse called “Quéchquemitl” and a skirt made of cotton in bright colors, how cute right?

In this city, we will find a great cultural movement, since it is characterized by being the cradle of outstanding talents in theater, music, dance, and other artistic manifestations, which gives it an adorable bohemian air. Schedule your visit to the Museum of Anthropology or to El Lencero and this time we are going to see the different types of dance not only from Xalapa but from all over Veracruz because, as I love dancing, I decided that I wanted to investigate more about the typical dance and our guide Roberto tells us that the typical dances and dances of Veracruz are based on jarocha music, which developed during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Spanish tried to adopt the customs of the indigenous people to Christianity and their own culture, resulting in the typical dances. of the region, that exists today and there are quite a few. Do you also like to dance? Tell me in the comments section, I love to know more about you.

The music of the Veracruz region is based on a mixture of Spanish music with rhythms from Africa and the Caribbean. The dances also called sones and jarabes, are made up of footwork movements and characteristics of flamenco.

Most of the typical dances of Veracruz are characterized by their fast rhythms and the emphasis on the movement of the feet. They are usually danced in the traditional costume of the region, and the music that accompanies them is performed by typical instruments such as harps, guitars, flutes, and drums. La Bamba falls within the context of the so-called couple dances; Usually, a man and a woman dance, although in some communities two or more couples dance. The dance of the witch originates from Veracruz, one of the most representative of the region because it is part of the traditional jarocho. It is about a woman who is very uninhibited and attracts men with her charms, although the lyrics of the song do not say so verbatim. The brunette is generally danced by one or two women, although there are exceptions and it can be danced by more. The Dance of the buses is typical of the Totonac people, natives of the Gulf of Mexico. It is mainly characterized by the use of a large wooden cross that rotates vertically. This cross is usually placed in city squares or in church atriums and symbolizes the creation of life. The dance of the buses is performed by seven dancers dressed in bright colors who begin to dance under the cross. After a few first steps taken as a group, four of them advance to climb onto the cross, which they push themselves. The cross begins to spin faster and faster with the four dancers on top, giving rise to a multicolored spectacle of movement. The dance is accompanied by the music of flutes and drums typical of the region. Very impressive and spectacular, don’t you think?

The líseres dance is a typical dance from Veracruz, usually presented at the festivities of San Juan Bautista and Santiago Apóstol. It belongs to a group of Mexican dances whose main character is the tiger, an animal with great importance in the region. her, the dancers are dressed in different colored robes that they use to imitate the skin of the animal and it is also quite a show because two groups of dancers dressed as tigers face each other in simulated combat, with no more music than the sounds that the dancers emit . The dance of the little blacks is one of the most popular in the entire state of Veracruz. It is based on a tradition from the beginning of the colonial era and represents a day of work in one of the cane plantations in the region. The typical dress is a black mask, as well as brightly colored clothes for those who make workers, and a military suit for those who act as gentlemen of the plantation. In this type of dance, the traditional instruments used are the flute, the drum, and sometimes the violin. The Dance of the Quetzals, which is typical of the regions of Puebla and Veracruz is danced in honor of the Quetzal, a sacred animal in Mayan mythology whose feathers were used to represent the Sun. The steps of this dance are fast and complex since it has movements that require great precision on the part of the dancers. The dance begins with the dancers executing the steps in a cross to symbolize the cardinal points. Then they go into a circle formation to represent the passage of time. And well, after so much dancing and tapping, I’m already very hungry, aren’t you? So if you like to cook click on the button or if you prefer keep traveling.
