ORLANDO

It's hard not to fall in love with this place. In fact, Orlando is my favorite city, I simply love everything about it, its landscapes, its hospitable people, its food, its diversity of cultures and of course and not least, its amusement parks.
 

In this city it is impossible to get bored, and I am not only referring to the Disney and Universal theme parks, but also to the large number of attractions that can be done for all ages. In addition to that, there are many nature reserves in Orlando where the characteristic fauna and flora of this beautiful city predominate.


I have had the opportunity to come to Orlando many times, and each time I come, I like it more.

Without a doubt, my favorite city on the entire planet.
