I have found when I ping "www.google.com" the response is an ip address of my country location, not Google. The strange thing is the site opens normally. Anyone have an explanation?

2Google has servers in several countries. Probably including yours. Just because the IP address isn't from America doesn't mean that it's not Google. – xorist Oct 09 '15 at 00:55

1Also do a search for how Google handles pings vs how it handles web traffic. – schroeder Oct 09 '15 at 02:42

Please add some evidence about what you found otherwise it is just guessing about what is going on. – hspaans Oct 09 '15 at 13:04

I don't know if you are spying, but we can explain why is not google which respond to your ping.
In my entreprise, we can access to Internet by differents proxies and security systems. If I try to ping google with a console from my Windows 7 PC (x.x.32.115), I will not receive any response. But if I open wireshark and retry pinging google, I see I receive a response of my ping (ICMP type 0) from the server (x.y.166.62) of my enterprise and not directly from google's server. Moreover, I never receive the DNS requests for externals domains of my entreprise.
In fact, this server has a DNS service and it could act as a proxy or firewall.
For your question, the answer you receive is probably the response of a proxy or a security system of your ISP.

Because whatsapp is a web service which is intercepted by the same proxy of your question. – Sorcha Oct 10 '15 at 11:19
