Los Vilos, the best place in the world

I have gone to many places in my life - I've had that luck - only twice have I left chile, but one of those came to the Amazon !! In spite of all that and the wonderful places that I have managed to know my favorite place and my best holidays are in Los Vilos. 

I'm not sure I can say which of all my vacations in Los Vilos was better. I go to town at least twice a year since I am 3 years old and we stayed there between one week to three months. I have so many memories in that place!! I almost always went with my parents when I was a little kid, but lately, I've been with my partner, with my little brother, with my friends and even alone. Always go back to Los Vilos. 

It may seem boring in relation to many adventures but I love the place for how quiet it is, I love to walk along the waterfront, go out to eat seafood in the morning, go inside to buy caramel with goat milk, and eat Churrascas in the late.

My favorite experience will always be to venture into the ravines and nearby dunes. With my parents we were going to climb the dunes and find the old rails that were on the other side, to look for quartz inside, to dive in the nearby beaches to shell out and see fossils in the rocks, find rock art in the rocks of the ravines. We have done so many things that it is very difficult for me to name them all!   

Two of my most favorite experiences are the "party" of San Juan - where the whole town celebrates with dances from the cove to the rock of the virgin, and they take the Virgin of Urkipiña, the most beautiful virgin of all in my non-Catholic opinion - and a very special birthday in this place, when I turned 13. I remember that year I was alone in the place, I stayed with my great grandparents and my parents did not rush to arrive. A friend who lived in the town wanted to give me a surprise and he got a boat from the cove with his father, together with other friends we went to the middle of the sea and celebrated the birthday there, it was magical! Then it started to rain and all the food was ruined but I loved it, with rain and everything. 

No matter how many places in the world I go, or how many new experiences I have, Los Vilos will always have a special place in my heart 💓

    I don't think that experience sounds boring, I really want to stay many days in a place like that.

The fall of the house of Usher

  It is impossible to refuse the importance about Edgar Allan Poe in the literature and the actual pop culture. Maybe, my first read was “The Raven” because an episode on The Simpson. It’s funny to think that a comedian series was my introduction to gothic literature – a completely opposite genre, full of shadows and drama. After “The Raven” , I read short stories like “The black cat” and “The Tell-tale hearth”. These are good ones to read and probably they are both quite thought-provoking and will likely stay with you the rest of your life. However, in my opinion, the best story of the author is undoubtedly “The fall of the house of Usher”. The story its about an no named narrator who is going to visit an ill childhood friend Roderick Usher. Roderick’s twin sister Madeline is also ill with a unknown disease and Roderick – in his paranoia – believes that the house is sentient. All the events occur into the house and the story ends when the same house collapsing and crumbling down.

I would like to be an investigator in the future but I'm not sure about which master - or doctorate - I prefer because I have many options and I can't decide! The topics who I like more are environmental health, genetics, biological anthropology, the archaeology of death and memory, and paleoecology. In the future, as I said in the past blog, I would like to study the master aboard in countries like France - because they have the original schools about social science in Europe and I really like this country-, Canada - because they have an interesting school in  environmental health -  or Latin American countries like México or Argentina - because they have the best universities in social science in Latin America- though also I would like study or work something in an oriental country because I don't know anything about the social science in this part of the world. Countries like Japan, China, India, and Mongolia sounds interesting, but I think the languages can be

Darien

I've always liked to travel. Fortunately, I have been able to travel to many places, tough ever far away. In one of my travels, I went to the Amazonas rainforest, to the Peruvian part. In this trip, I fell in love with the jungle, the places, the animals and the plants. It's because of this who I'd like to visit, in the next travel maybe, Panamá. In Panamá exist a spectacular rainforest, named Darien, in there is one of the largest and most valuable protected areas in Centro America, the Darien National Park. In this place are many different exotic animals and plants. I would like to know everyone !! All the wildlife in this area is very fantastic.  But not all Darien is wildlife. In the Darien lives many ethnic (and not ethnic)   groups  with different cultures. I really would like to try all the foods, listen to all the music, see all the dances, know all the myths.  However, the Darien rainforest is not only a paradise but is also the most dangerous place in a
