La banlieue est trop souvent associée à la violence et à la drogue... Elle a pourtant bien d'autres visages : c'est la terre d'accueil des peintres du XIXème siècle, le terrain de jeu des amateurs de bière et le lieu de prédilection des randonneurs !

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.

Have you ever been so confused you didn't know what to do or say? If so, you might find these words helpful.

If you're shocked by something, you can say you are "flabbergasted." No one knows where this word comes from, but it might come from "aghast," which means "horrified."

So if you got home and found that everything you own had been stolen, you might say, "I'm flabbergasted that they were able to steal everything without being seen!"

If something is very complicated and confusing, you can say you are "bewildered." This word probably comes from "to wilder," an old word that means "to make someone become lost."

So if the police were not able to find out anything about what happened, they might say, "We're bewildered — we have no idea who took your things."

Another word that could be used is "flummoxed," which also means "confused." People don't know for sure, but it may have come from "flummock," an old word that meant "to make untidy or confuse."

So you could say to the police, "I'm just as flummoxed as you are — I can't understand how they could have stolen everything."

If something is difficult to understand, you can say it's "perplexing," or makes you feel "perplexed." So the police might say, "I'm sorry, but we might not be able to find your things. This is a very perplexing case!"
