Chile

Period 4
I just got into Chile and I'm going to the Atacama Desert which is pretty much the whole Norrthern Chile. There is also big mines there in Chuquicamata, Calama and other parts of altipano that produce a lot of copper and other minerals. Both Incan and Spanish influences can be seen in its villages. Both Incan and Spanish influences can be seen in its villages and religious festivities, which attract visitors throughout the year. Well I wish I could stay here some more but I have to go see more of Chile.
I just got into a place called the Patagonia and some words to describe it would probably exotic, remote, vast, infinitely, beautiful, wild and untamable. This place has some breathtaking views, though it is easy to lose yourself in this area which is roughly the size of Britain (240,00 km2) but has a less than one inhabitant per km2. Over 50% of the Patagonia is a Protected Wilderness Area. There are a lot of things to do there such as fly-fishing, trekking, cycling, mountain climbing, rafting, kayaking and even horseback riding. There is a lot of stuff to do here, but I've got to go see some more places in Chili.
Now I'm off to the islands and Chili's territory contains over a hundred islands. Easter Island, aka Hanga Roa as it is called, is one of the most exotic places in Chile. It is thousands of miles from the cost so it is pretty far out in the pacific. There are massive stone monuments called moals over from over 800 years ago, and they are scattered all over the volcanic landscape surrounded by beautiful beaches. There's another big island called Robinson Crusoe Island, part of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago, was hit hard by a tsunami in February 2010. Also Crusoe has a lot of flora and birds including there main food source the rock lobster. Its history is full of stories of corsairs and includes the first includes the first naval combat of World War 1, when a German cruiser sank off the coast. Well I hope you liked Chili as much as I did, this is one place that I would like to come back to.
