Hi someone:  Today I want to talk about the gender dystopia or anti-utopia, which is a literary genre that explores social and political structures.  Dystopia fiction refers to a society that pretends happiness, systematically suffers its citizens or degrades them to an irreversible oblivion.  A  dystopia  is a community or society that is undesirable or frightening.   It is translated as "not-good place" and is an  antonym  of  utopia .  Dystopias are often characterized by  dehumanization,   tyrannical  governments,  environmental disaster ,  or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Among the most outstanding works, as the fundamental trilogy of the genre dystopian are: Brave New World  of  Aldous Huxley Nineteen Eighty-Four  of  George Orwell Fahrenheit 451  of  Ray Bradbury . I like this genre because in spite of the fact that it presents a dehumanized and decadent society, I believe that it does not completely move away from

A walk that I would like to do again.

In 2016, some friends of the family invited me to visit Baños Morales in the Cajón del Maipo, which is 92 km from Santiago and about 1800 m etres  above sea level. Something that caught my attention is that this location  is considered a village,  because it only has 34 inhabitants but they can only live there for a period of the year! In winter everyone must evacuate because otherwise they would be trapped because of the snow and the closure of the roads for the possibility of avalanches.  But Baños Morales in season has a great tourist attraction for owning thermal waters and being one of the entrance doors to El Morado Natural Monument, one of the most visited protected areas in all of Chile. We went in August, so there was good weather and arrived after stopping several times on the way to take pictures. When we arrived, we discovered that CONAF's access was open to climb the glacier and we decided to go. At that time we did not know the duration of the trip hahahaha
