La Puerta del Diablo



 
La Puerta del Diablo.


La Puerta del Diablo is a place near San Salvador, El Salvador. It's a place where mystic stairs trap you. It's a place where an antique door awaits to be find. It's a place where energetic young teenagers try to conquer. It's a place where mist on trees cover them with drops of water. It's a place where a magic key is being hide.



The first time I went to visit The Devil's Door was when I was eight years old. It was during during spring break and my mom had decided that my brother and I were old enough to try to get to the top of it. It was really exciting and I loved it! However at the end I was exhausted, but the beautiful view was worth it.



The reason I chose this place was because during my first trip to La Puerta del Diablo I saw a Torogoz. The national bird of El Salvador, it's extremely rare to see one in the open like in La Puerta del Diablo. I also chose this place because it's one of my favorites from my childhood.

  3. Not only are you lucky to hike there but also to see the beautiful and rare Torogoz. Looking at its beak, it reminds me of Kingfisher. What do you think? I wish you many more happy hiking trips!
