A beautiful trip!

Well, today is a free theme, so I´m going to talk about the best trip in my life!
In January, 2007, Me and my school friends traveled to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. We really spended a good time, an also It was my first trip out of my country, and specially for that reason I remember it so much. We traveled on a bus to Brazil first around 36 hours!, so it was a long an uncomfortable trip. When we arrived to Brazil, we stayed in an hotel called " Carima", and this hotel it´s very big and amazing because It is located in the middle of a forest, and also in the swimming pool somethimes you could find many"royal turkeys".
We stayed in Brazil almost 6 days, and in these 6 days we went to Itaipu Dam ( Located in the border of Brazil and Paraguay), Santa Teresihna beach and the most importat place that we went was the National Park Iguazú Falls. They are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. They are extremelybeautiful, and you can feel in that place that you are connected with the nature. At the final of ouw trip, we went to Paraguay, specially to " Ciudad del Este", a real comercial city, just like "Persa Bio-Bío" in Chile.
The last place that we went was Argentina. We went to Mendoza specially, but I don´t like so much because the weather is very hot! I prefer my country defineatly :D
I hope that if you read my experience travel, you can chear you up and make a travel like this because it`s a experience that you will never forget!
See you Folks!

Tips to visit Santiago de Chile

Well, in general Santiago is a very beautiful city, with many different places to know and visit. Personally, I don´t know my city as I want, but I`ve visited some important chilean places and I think that they are very important If someone of other country would like to visit here and know about my country. First of all, the first important place that I really like is the house of government called " Palacio de la Moneda". It is a very big white building, and it has a lot of history, principally because in 1973 it happened a very important coup d'état, where this building was destroyed. The reconstruction and restoration projects of these builiding were completed on March 11, 1981.
Other important place to visit is the Fine Art Museum. It is located on Forestal park, a very speciall and sometimes bohemian neighborhood. In the Fine Art Museum you can find many artistic expressions like sculptures, paintings, etc.
One of my favorite places to visit is San Cristobal hill. It`s located on Providencia, a big and famouse commune. This hill is very speciall because you can do many kind of thing, for example you can walk, ride bicycle, see a bautifull view, but only on summer because on winter you can see the big pollution of the city.
Here in Chile we have the beautiful Los Andes Mountain range, so for that we have many modern ski resorts like Valle Nevado, El Colorado and Farellones. There you can practice ski, snowboard, etc.
And as I`m a woman, obviously the comercial centers are very important!, but definaetly the cheapest and exclusive place is Patronato! yoy can find many kind of clothes and very cheap! jajajajaja
Well, I hope that all the people that want to visit Santiago de Chile read my blog and follow these tips! =)
See you folks!
