Trip to Chiloe

When I was little I went on a trip to Chiloe, our family went to visit the family of my aunt, she had four sons, all of them were boys. I remebered that I had eight years old approximately , my cousins were older than me, they had about twenty years old, so they don’t talk very much with me. They waited us with the typical “curanto”, wich one if you don’t know is a typical food of that place, it is a kind of mix of shellfishes, sausage, meat, potatos, leaf.

“chapalele”. It prepares on a hole in the ground and it covers with Nalca.

                                                                            

We went  to visit a lot of wonderful places like the patrimonial churches, Chonchi, Ancud, Castro. We went to a store, they selled a lot of interesting locality products like Chilote garlic, camote, Fishes, Shell fish, meat, etc.

We stay to the “fiesta del cordero chilote” wich was celebrated on  january 19 th, in Achao. This celebration is about the traditions of Chiloe, you can watch lambs, Shearing them, play with them, and also eat them. I felt very sorry for them, cause they were a kind of show for us and later we just eated them. However the celebration seemed very funny , with the exception of the above, cause it was an enriching experience.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Light show

So I hadn’t gone to any concert or exhibition  at least not for my own, I am a  very lazy person. I just remeber three museums  I visited  for the university  the rally museum (located in Vitacura), the MAC museum and the one I’m gona talk about the light show. It was an exhibition in the corp artes building, located in Manquehue, i went with my classmates. So it was about many expositions  with the light as the queen of the show, I don’t remeber all of them because it was two years ago. I remebered that at the beginning of the exposition there was a kind of screen with many leds simulating walking persons, there was a kind of stairs made incandecents lights also, later we were driven to a dark room  and there was a tiny waterfall illuminated with hundreds of flashing lights and the last thing I remeber  is a  white room illuminated by color lights, many people took pictures of that.

September 18

When I was fifteen our family went to visist the family of my stepfather for the september 18,  my family there are my two sisters, my brother, my mom, my stepfather and me. However they lived in Talcahuano a city so far away of my town , we traveled for 1 day. When we came we were recived for the parents, and sister of my stepfather,  they were waiting for us with a barbecue, the rest of his family arrived a few minutes later, incluiding the family of his sister and his eldest brother.

They had a lot of activities for spent the day, first we went to bougth chicha, wine, vegetables and fruit to side the special lunch of our national holydays, wich one was celebrated to the other day, as we were near to the center of the city we take advantage  of kowing famous places, like museums or the place where “el Huáscar” lies.

When we came Home adults started a conversation while the kids went to play somenthing, i don’t knew, for my part i went to chat with my Friends by Facebook.

The 18th early in the morning adults start the preparations to the lunch wich consisted of a lot of meat side by some kind of salad, and of course a lot of alcohol to adults.

It was a very funny  celebration and i knew new places.

An amazing walk

 Three years ago I went to a path called Bosque encantado located in the Queulat National park in the Aysén región. It’s a path of 1700 meters long which start at the south of Puyuhuapi in the austral road. In this beautiful place you can see the austral forest with specimens like líquenes, coigües, arrayanes, coipos, chucaos, Martín pescadores, etc. All of them native species.

You also can see pumas and pudúes both of them in danger of extinction, a lagoon, and a tiny glacier.

However i went whit my three best Friends, we did autostop from my town Puerto cisnes to the bosque encantado at the begining no one take us, but after 30 minutes finally somebody take us to the place.

When we arrived the first thing we did was make a plan in case we lost in the forest, because in that moment there  wasn’t a park ranger or touristic guide, just old signals in the road and there was totally free ( now you have to pay).

We started to walk, at the begining the road was easy but later you had to climb until you arrived to a river, we were so tired so we take a break to drink water of the river, finally we camed to the top, and we can see an amazing landscape, a beautiful lagoon crowned by an awesome glacier.

After of descending to the lagoon we take another break to take pictures and lunch, it was such a peaceful place we spend a long time there, after of two hours we did the return  and all of us taken a bottle of water of the lagoon as a souvenir.
