A place I went to

The parts that I visited are, in the north up to La Serena, and in the South down to Valdivia, without mention Bariloche in Argentina. From all the places that I've been, the beatuful one is Valdivia.

The last time I was in Valdivia was two years ago, we go there not frecuently with my family because of the distance; about ten hours driving; but when we have the oportunity we go there. My father, Anastacio Flández, is from Valdivia, so we have family there that makes us feel more linked to that part of the south of Chile.

Valdivia is a little city placed in the south with a diferent climatological condición tha the center of the contry like Santiago, where we live. A fascinating place with beautiful forests landscapes and woodlands, it's a very raining place and that combinated with the another things makes it magical, it's like to be into a fairy tale, with magical woods, with dwafs, goblins, elfs, etc. Many people think that the rain is linked to a depresive person, but a raining woodland has another condition, a place full of life, trees, plants of many colours that has a positive impact on the souls of the people.

Speaking of the city, Valdivia looks like from a fairy tale too, a city with reference in the european towns, the city and the landscape in fact look like we were in a town in Germany, and this last thing is interesting because much of the people of Valdivia are descendant of germanies inmigrants. Valdivia has a river that cross it, the Calle Calle river, up the river it has another name, the Cruces river where there is a wetland considerated a natural sanctuary with many kinds or birds, the more beautiful are the black neck sawns. It's curious that this "sanctuary" born from a catastrophy, when in 1960 the bigest earthquake registred and a tsunami later took place; when the water went back to the sea, it leaved this sanctuary that was cultivatelands before the tsunami. The beautiful wetlands is now threatened by the contamination throw down by the Celulosa Arauco inc. The citizens expressed against the company because that terrible incident. We hope that in this world of materialism they take concience of the damage that they make to our planet.

Valdivia it,s a wonderful place, that invite to the meditatión, the relax, the contection with the nature, a Natural Santuary, Let us save it for us and the future generations.
