Having a free topic makes me think of many different options. But the idea is to choose one.

Today I will write about a nice walk I have done. Obviously, you can choose any topic you want.

Last Saturday my brother in law, my husband and I decided to go to parquet nacional “Aguas de Ramón”. This is a national park in the outskirts of Santiago. I had never been there before. All I know is that we went to la Reina and drove to the very end of the road. There was this place. 

We started our walk at around 8:15 am and after 10 minutes I started to enjoy myself. It was a really cold morning but since we were going up, I got warm rather quickly. Some parts were really slanted and others were flat. Some paths were narrow and there was a big drop. This frightened me at times.

I have to admit that it really shocked me to see the pollution in Santiago. So, I breathed as much as I could. It looked terribly toxic down here. Some parts looked so beautiful and quiet. I loved that silence or the sound of the water when we crossed the little river.

 After 45 minutes I realized that, even though I do exercise regularly, I was not up to the challenge. My plan was to do 8 km to the waterfall in the area of  las Condes and 8 back. However, after 4 km I decided to walk back and do only 8 km to start. I think I could do more but I felt the return would have been really hard for me. It was a beautiful experience and I intend to prepare to do 16 k the next time.

 I truly loved the idea of going 45 minutes in a car and be in a completely different place. I love nature so this was great for me. I felt my weekend started really well.

This last picture is the waterfall I did not get to see this time.
