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 metres 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! From the access of the CONAF (1875 mamsl) you must follow a path to Aguas Panimávidas (2265 mamsl) at 3.4 km from the entrance, continuing until you reach the Laguna Morales (2380 mamsl) at 5.5 km from the access and finally reach the Mirador Glacear San Francisco (2500 masl) a little over 7 km from the entrance of the CONAF. 
The ride lasts approximately 8 hours between the round trip, which represents about 16 kilometers of route. 
* masl: meters above sea level

Somehow, we managed to reach Lake Morales only with willpower and although the trip was exhausting the landscape was impressive, we managed to observe some wild horses along with the native flora. 
* As a warning, the road is dangerous not only because of the height at which it is made, but also because of the "rodados" that are similar to an avalanche but of rocks.

I would like to return as a personal challenge and reach the Mirador glacear El Morado because it is a very difficult climb and one must be prepared.





Here we can see that he was not wearing clothes that were suitable for trekking hahaha

Hobbies?

Hi strange person:  I must confess that since i entered the university i don’t have hobbies out of it. The university consumes my time. I must recover the control of my life! Now I only play music and see series hehehe. I think the most interesting thing is in my old hobbies. When I was in school I loved playng sports, especially aquatics. I love to swim, I was in the swimming team. I trained the Tuesday and Thursday of each week. In addition, I was selected national in high diving. I trained the Monday, Wednesday and Friday . I spent many years of my life in a swimming pool. The other hobby on my life is the “Art”. From small I have always drawn and I was fourteen years old I started going to painting classes. I think that´s why I study design. I´m very happy for my old hobbies. It´s never too late to start over.

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 pres...

Hi! strange person Today I want to tell you about an   animated television series that I loved when I was a little girl. This series is The Powerpuff Girls and I was only 5 year when I saw it on Tv in the channe l   Cartoon Network .  The program is about Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, three colorful kindergarten girls with superpowers, as well as their father and creator, a scientist named Professor Utonium. All the girls live in the fictional town of Townsville, USA. UU., And the mayor of Townsville calls them frequently to use their powers to help fight local criminals, such as Mojo Jojo, Fu zzy Lumpkins, He and Princess Morbucks. I love how the story begins when the Professor makes an experiment that tries to create the perfect little girl by mixing "sugar, flowers and many colors" (in the original version it is  "sugar, spice, and everything nice") and in this moments the Powerpuff Girls were born.  I think the main reason I loved the ser...
