EL CAÑÓN DEL PERGIS CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO.

Cañón del Pegüis Chihuahua, es uno de los cañones emblemáticos de la zona desértica del estado, una espectacular barranca y una zona desconocida para muchos escaladores. Cuenta con paredes de caliza de hasta 200 mts de altura, algunas de ellas teniendo base en el río Conchos, otras con repisas para su ascenso. El lugar aparte de contar con paredes enormes para ruta, cuenta también con una gran extensión de boulders a lo largo de todo el cañón. Se tiene que tomar una canoa, para poder escalar en ellos. También se permite practicar rafting de un mediano a un alto nivel de dificultad. En el lugar existe un mirador sobre la carretera, donde podrás observar una gran sección de los paredones que conforman el cañón, los cuales llegan a medir hasta 300 metros de alto.

 La mejor temporada para el Cañón del Pegüis es entre Abril hasta Octubre.
- No se recomienda ir en verano por el calor intenso y los mosquitos.

What does it mean to be innovative in business?

In order for a business to survive in today's world, it is important that we regularly review what we are doing and how we are doing it. By considering new ideas and new ways of doing things, and trying to innovate, we can improve on our products/services, increase sales, reduce costs and make our processes more effective and efficient. Innovation is key to increasing profits.

There are several ways a company can be innovative with their products and services. Today we will look at four of them.

1. Using the latest technology to improve your product/service

When we think of innovation, we often think of new technologies. While they might be impressive, we should not use new technologies just because they are available. It is important to consider how the technology can improve our product/service and make a difference to our customer. Companies that produce cars, toiletries, household appliances, etc. often have a large R&D department to work on making their products better.

2. Responding to customer demands by changing what is on offer

By listening to customer feedback, we can get their opinions on how we are doing and find out about what it is that they want. We also need to be aware of changes in customer demands and keep up with the times. When fast-food restaurant McDonald's realised that the market wanted healthier choices, they introduced fruit and salads, while removing the 'super-size' option from their menus.

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.
