When I was 13 years I came in on scout, in the group of the Instituto Nacional, the oldest group in Chile. In 2009 I had my best camp,I went with three friends and teammates and two guides also good friend. We went to a Mapuche community in the sector of Melipeuco, near to Llaima volcano. We spent 4 days in that place, it was amazing! Very beautiful, very magical, the sky at night it was unbelievable, you can see a shooting star at every moment. After that, we went to Villarica and we camped in the shore of the lake. When we arrived to the camping it was full and in the night a storm started and it was getting worse at every minute, we armed our tent very well, because every scout knows that a tent well-armed it never won’t leak, and we decided go to sleep. The next day we woke up and all people have left the camping, we were the only.

After Villarica we went to Valdivia and we visited the Saval Park when it was celebrating the beerfest of Kunstmann a typical beer of Valdivia… it’s so delicious!  The Saval Park are very special, there’re a lot of endemic vegetation called “Bosque Relicto” very slender in the world.
When we arrived to Valdivia we found the “Valdivian Week” and that night was playing “la Noche”, the “cumbia” group.
After that we went to Paillaco to a place that I can’t remember how we arrived, in the middle of the forest, that experience was amazing, but we were scare for the pumas and the river was very cold.  We stayed 4 days there and we came back to Santiago.

One of the part I don’t like of the trips are have to come back to Santiago, because I don’t like this city… it’s the sad part of the journeys.
