Blog experience

The blog looks like an entertaining page, allows me to write anecdotes and good memories of past trips, is also a way to express what you think about something, and to write about favorite places, animals, flowers, national parks and themes that are entertaining With the exception of the first blogs that were more boring.

It is a page that allows you to know a little more about other people, the option to comment on the publications of my colleagues seems very entertaining, but most of the time I forget to comment, but I still find it funny. One of the things I like about the blog is that you can post photos next to the texts. When we first started to take up the blog, I did not know that it was possible to do that and when I found out it started to interest me to write more about my personal experiences, especially about my trips, which make me very happy.

One of the things I do not like about the blog is that it is difficult for me to find the blogs of my colleagues, so I forget to comment on the publications, I do not know how to use the page better.

In order to have this blog is a new experience for me in terms of social pages since I only have facebook and whatsapp. But I like it.😏

Huemul

Huemul is a type of herbivorous deer native to Chile.

At present it can only be found in the sector of Nevados de Chillán (Bío-Bío Region) and from the Regions of Los Lagos to that of Magellan and Antarctica.

The huemul has a coat of dark brown color, mixed lightly with yellow, dense, thick, pneumatic (with air inside) and somewhat oily. This allows you to easily swim in the cold glacial waters of lakes, rivers, streams and also protects and shelters you from the harsh winter weather. It lives in mountainous areas, wooded and with abundance of bushes. In winter they prefer to stay in the most forested areas. Their diet is composed of grass, leaves and tree branches like colihue, ciruelillo, coihue, shrubs and others.

The huemul is one of the representatives of the national coat of arms and despite the great existence of projects for its conservation huemul is in serious danger of extinction because it suffered a considerable reduction in its population during the last century debibo to the indiscriminate hunting of the same, Animal-borne diseases, attacks by other animals such as dogs, introduction of non-native species, forest fires, adventure tourism and various human-induced alterations to the environment.

In 1996 it was declared Natural Monument by National Law 24.702, a category of management contemplated within the system of national parks of Argentina. 

Gaultheria mucronata

Chaura
It is a shrub native to southern Argentina and Chile, especially in mountainous areas, it is tolerant to extreme climates. Its white flowers are equipped with reproductive units of music and the fruit is a berry, almost globose, in the form of plum, which goes from white to pink and when it is ripe it is purple and has a delicious sweet taste. It can reach a meter with fifty centimeters of height and one meter with twenty centimeters of width.
This tree seems very nice and a good representative of the Chilean Patagonia, the first time this tree was in the volcano Villarica, one day there was a storm with a lot of wind and a rain that did not leave completely wet, and I came back again to see When we traveled to Patagonia with some friends, and in futaleufù surprised us with their rich fruits, eat them many times and we took a little hunger when we did not have food.
The chaura with the white fruit is my favorite, because in a sender of a glacier in a less expected place find this fruit to eat and enjoy the happy ones of the beautiful landscape.

On June 19, 1967, the Huerquehue National Park was created with the purpose of protecting areas with a great diversity of species that are surrounded by beautiful landscapes. It is located in the Andean foothills 35 km east of Pucón, province of Cautín and has an area of ​​12,500 hectares.

Mùsica

The music means something very important for me, since every day I listen to songs from my cell phone or computer. I love that there are bands that play different instruments. The type of music that I like is the great part of rock and roll, metal, psychedelic rock, classic rock, a bit of techno and jazz.

In my life I have been to several concerts, I really like watching live bands and especially when they are the bands that I like, but I must admit that I am very curious and I like the idea of ​​going to see live bands of different musical style.

About four years ago I played a lot of guitar, I dedicated time and took songs that I liked, I also learned to play a little drums, but the truth is not so good because I do not have one to play constantly. Now that the years have passed I have dedicated myself to go to concerts and to play less guitar, I lost a little patience and motivation, but I hope someday to play again and learn the things I lacked to play songs that I like.

A photograph

This photograph was taken in January this year by a friend, we were in the Cerro Castillo glacier.

It was a great day of the photo, we got up at ten o'clock in the morning, we had breakfast at the community casino of the camping together with friends from the Basque country and Ecuadorian boys that we met in the village of Cerro Castillo, after that we went to Make the trail to get to the lagoon of the glacier, which cost five thousand pesos the entrance and began to climb the hills, was very tiring and we took a lot to arrive because it was many kilometers away and was on the rise, sometimes we went on Very steep and dangerous roads, but when we arrived at the viewpoint of the waterfall we passed all the fatigue because it was too beautiful, we could see all the surrounding mountains and see the glacier and its lagoon from near, we ate some sandwich and then we met To a German guy who took us photos and decided to go down to the lagoon. It was a long way until we got water from the glacier, it was a great experience,in a magical place, of which I have beautiful memories and many beautiful photos.  😃

My dog

I have a dog about 7 years ago, his name is lucky, he is of poodle breed and he is the son of a dog that we had before, but that already died.

Lucky is small in size and has curly white hair. He likes to bark, eat meat, sleep in our beds, play and love to be caressed.

Every day when we get home he jumps happy and follows us until we fondle him and play with him. It makes us company at all times and does not leave us alone when we are sad.

He is very intelligent, when he makes a prank he hides himself so he does not hold him and when we go to bathe he hides under the stairs because he does not like it.

I hope he lives many more years because he is a great company for us all, because when he is not, we miss him a lot. 🐩
