Post 9

Hello!
for this ninth post, we’ll cover your last chosen topic!
That means we’ll write about travels. So here, I’ll tell you about my greatest trip J
As all of you know, I'm kind of a weird cactus grower/fan, so I'll tell you about my lastest trip, to the Atacama desert during this year's summer. 

It all began when I left my house in Curacaví to join my friend, and driver in our adventure, at his house in Olmué, fifth Region. That day we prepared everything to start early the next morning, we had a long way coming. We started the day early, at 7, and then we went out heading north to El Cobre, Antofagasta (2nd) Region. The idea was to go there and start coming back south, stopping in locations to find, photograph and try to discover seeds of Chilean native cacti. For that purpose we had the knowledge of my friend, who's been travelling to the dessert for at least 5 years now, and the help of this book, which contains pictures and descriptions of several species :)



We were true adventurers, walking for hours to find plants, climbing hills and small mountains ranges. On a normal day, we would wake up at 9 approx. And then have breakfast to start the day exploring the camping site we had chosen the night before. After that we would find a new site, and track the land to find more species. It would all finish when the sun was coming down, as we needed to find a good camping spot, and use sunlight to set the tents. 



It may sound boring for some, but this was one of the best experiences I've had, I learned and enjoyed every moment of it :) Here you have some pictures of the trip!

What do you think of my trip? Now it’s your turn!

  6. Is a great trip, but I find the boring north of Chile a little boring, it is better the landscape that is given to the south

  10. That's pretty amazing, we do the same things with my sister, but instead to seeing cactus, we go to the mountains to see stones in search of minerals and fossils of shells. She studies engineering in metallurgy, so she is very obsessed with that.

    1. unfortunately, there's nothing to do with it.
      some plants take advantage of this, and some others die.. specially if due to the rain there are rockslides or mudslides.
