MY FAVORITE VACATIONS

Hello class, today I`m going to talk about my favorite vacations.

My favorite vacations took place in 2008, when I went to the Cordillera de los Andes in VIII Region, Chile. I went to the mountain with my boyfriend and two friends. We went in January for one week, and we had a great time.

We went to the mountain from San Fabian de Alico, a village near the mountain where my boyfriend's grandmother live. This village is in the north of VIII Region, very near to Chillan, but towards the mountain.

We went to camp in the mountains. When we went to the mountain the climate was very strange. In the day was very sunny and this was very nice, but in the night every day we were there it rained. In fact every night there was a storm, including thunder and lightning. But, in conclusion, and despite all the suffering, this was the best experience in my life that I never forget.

The best thing about my travel to the mountain was when I saw a condor, It`s very nice and majestic. It`s our national bird, and the symbol of all Latin American, and the aborigines from all Los Andes too. The condor that I saw was a male, because the colour of his wing was white. Watchind a condor fly in the Cordillera de los Andes is the best and mystical experience in my life.

The photograph shows the Añil Lake, this is a lake very beautiful that have a blue colour very intense, because It has a lot of sulphur minerals. But the water is very cold and the lake is very small. An aspect that I didn`t like was the little vegetation, only shrubs, that were small and very ugly. But that's because I like the big trees.
