A landmark

Hi faubloggers

I'm a bit late with this post so excuse me haha, In this post I will talk about a landmark that I liked, so as you know from other posts like "a photograph", "a trip" or "a holiday" I visited San Pedro this year and in this place there are many beautiful natural landscapes.

In this place I felt very impressed by the landscapes of Salar de Tara, this salar is located near the border between Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, Tara is over the crater of Vilama's volcano to 4.300 meters above sea level. I visited the salar with a group of friends in February and it was fantastic, the salar has an unique ecosystem related with animals like flamingos, tucu tucu, taguas, vicuñas, zorro culpeo and others.

But the most impressive is the contrast between the arid and the water of the salar, the massive rock formations eroded by thousands of years known as "catedrales de Tara" and the giant columns of rock that were separated from the catedrales by more erosion known as "Monjes de la Pacana".

To get to the salar I had to hire a tour because is far from San Pedro and is a difficult road, without any service and in many parts there is no vehicle footprint to follow, so it is always recommended to do it with a tour or someone who know the sector.

Once in the salar, the only thing we did was to walk a few short trails, have lunch, observe the beautiful landscape and take many photos as a memory of this place.

Bye!

A dream trip

Hi classmates :) This week, I want to tell you about a trip that I wold like to realize. It's difficult to me select a country because if it were for me I want to travel all over the world haha. But I choose Perú-Bolivia because it is a trip that I have wanted to do for some years. These countries have so much culture and history. natural landscapes and fun. There are so many interesting places and all relatively close to each other, so in three weeks you can visit it completely. Places like Arequipa (called "la ciudad blanca"), Cuzco (called "la Roma de América"), the Titicaca's lake and Machu Picchu in Perú. In the other hand Uyuni, Oruro, Villa Tunari, La Paz, Cochabamba, Isla del Sol and Copacabana in Bolivia. This trip I want to do with close friends or on my own because is a special journey for me and I want to have all the time to visit these wonderful places. Peru and Bolivia are very cheap countries to visit, so I think the total cost...

Puma concolor

Imagen
Hello classmates: In this day, I want to do a post about one of my favourite animal the Puma concolor. In general I like felines except the domestic cats haha, all have characteristics that make them special, like lions, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars and leopards. The puma is a carnivorous mammal that lives in practically all of America and obviously in Chile. Belongs to the family Felidae, subfamily Felinae and genus Puma. It is currently classified in the UICN with the LC category, which is a minor concern. This animal is characterized by hunting for ambush, their diet is mainly based on deer although they also hunt camelids or other smaller species, is a solitary and territorial animal. One of the differences with the big cats is that it can’t emit roars, it´s sound is sharp more like domestic cats. His height can be 80 cm, his lenght of 2,75 mt and his weight of 75 kg. Also the puma can reach jumps of 5,4 mt in height and reach speeds of 72 km/h (amazing). I really like this...

A great place

Hi Geobloggers: Today, like the other weeks, I'd like to write about something new. I'm going to tell you about a photograph that I took this summer holidays on February, in Chaxa lagoon, inside of the huge Salar de Atacama, near to San Pedro de Atacama. This place is so quiet and magic and I feel that this photo fully represents it, the photo shows a flamingo's flock feeding on his natural environment and the reflection of the sky in the salt water of the lagoon. The possibility of staying and seeing so closely the flamingos represents so much to me and that day was really great, I met different landscapes in this trip even or more beautiful that the shows in the photo, but the presence of this birds (which are becoming less) is unpayable and not easily to forget. I recomend to visit San Pedro, this place has it all, you will not regret. I hope I have the opportunity to visit it a second time. Thanks for reading, see you the next time!
