I’m Arturo Villanueva, born and raised in the Mexican side of California, with a lifelong interest in our overwhelming biodiversity. This space brings together what I care about most: nature, history, archeology and photography.

Through the California Blog and Short Travel Stories, along my photo gallery, I share my way of seeing the world. I document glimpses of the places I visit, from landscapes and wildlife to the historical and archeological sites that shape our shared heritage.

Hope you enjoy the journey!
