Great Video! There was a big battle here in 1759 when the native population stood their ground against the Spanish who were attempting to increase their influence in the North.

Awesome! Love your choice of music, and the vultures!

The vultures were the guards of the cemetery. They added to the surreal atmosphere

It was a very interesting place. I am so glad that nobody has ruined the old buildings. They have weathered a lot of history and weather.
