Dia de la Teleferico

Mi Teleférico changed La Paz forever. The red, blue, yellow, green, and white lines connect neighborhoods that used to take two hours by bus. Now a paceño from Villa Fatima can reach El Alto in twenty minutes. The Teleferico is the great equalizer: businessmen in suits ride next to market women with massive bundles and nobody blinks.

Animals of São Tomé and Príncipe Day

You encounter African palm civets, African grey parrots, and endemic São Tomé sunbirds as the most iconic wildlife native to São Tomé and Príncipe. You see that dogs, cats, chickens, and goats are commonly kept as pets throughout these islands. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
