Blog 2: The best holiday

  Hello everyone, here I´ll write about my best holiday.
My best holiday was 2 years ago. I traveled to San Pedro de Atacama with 2 friends, Paula and Francisca (Pancha). My friend Pancha lived all her childhood in San Pedro with her mother, who work as teacher and still there, so when we went to San Pedro, we stayed in her house. I and Paula were there for 10 days and Pancha stayed other days with her family.

During these days Pancha and her family made us a tour in different places near San Pedro. We were in a salt flat (I don´t remember the name), where I swam in a salt lake;  The Valle de la Luna, where were a wonderful views; The Pukara de Quitor , thats an old fortress that have tactical advantage because of its view, now is a archeological site; Valle de Marte, where I tried
sandboarding; Cueva del diablo, that was the first time I was in a cave and I have to say that the dark inside is strange and uncomfortable; and the town itself, where we walked for different streets and places.

That was my best holiday, because I learned so much things and another perspective to see the things that I could never have learned in Santiago or the places I usually go to holiday. And what I always will remember is the sky full of stars, the shooting stars and how the intesity of the moon could affect the light in a really clear sky.

  3. How lucky you were to be able to visit San Pedro where you met such curious and fascinating places with friends. And having first-hand tours of people who have lived there for a long time. On the other hand, the photos you uploaded are very beautiful, they make me want to know that place where the stars feel closer. Thanks for sharing your experience!

  5. Now I want to go to San Pedro, it sounds amazing, and the pictures are beatiful. I think it´s a magical place. I have always loved all the landscapes that Chile has to offer, and all the history and mysteries that are behind them.

  7. Hello Tomas! The best holidays I have had so far were also in San Pedro de Atacama, what a coincidence!
    Everything you describe is true, San Pedro is a magical place.
    Oh, and I think the salt flat you mention may be the Laguna Cejar ... or not?
