  1. Hi!
    The best travel that i´ve done are was in 2010. I went with friends to travel the Austral Road. In travel we´ve known many beatiful places, but the most important thing was to share with people very different that Santiago´s people. They were very relax and to appreciate the simple things of the life.....they doesn´t live hurry up.
    Comming Santiago, the travel was by Argentina - from Los Antiguos to Mendoza - , because it doesn´t tolls and the gasoline was more than cheap that Chile.

    The worst part of the travel was so much kilometeres to drive .....about 5000 kilometers.

    Regards,

  2. Hi everybody,
    My trip story is about the south of Chile, like my classmate Cristian. I went to Chiloe with 8 friends, in summer of this year. It was a fantastic experience, because I knew a lot of nice places and beautiful people from there. The funniest part is that we decided to go in february for avoid the rain (we went to camp) and we was very happy the first day with the spectacular sun, but since the second day the rain didn`t stop for five days and our carps endured only one nigth. Despite all of this, it has been the best trip in my short life.

  3. My best travel was for the summer of 2009, with my family went to Molco that is a place near Villarrica, in this travel I did many extreme activities, with my family and only, for example with my family did rafting in the Trancura river, also we climbed the volcano Villarica but the best activity was the jump bungee on a river near to Temuco, is a activity dangerous but also is intense, all is very fast the jump not is more of five second but is very good, this travel was my best travel and I hope soon back to jump.

  5. Hi everybody!
    i will tell you about my best trip.
    It was in this winter, i and 7 friends went to Pichilemu for 5 days. We went all days the beach, and we drank beer and pisco with other people that also they were there. We knew very lot people from different parts from Chile and shared a drink with them. It was a great experiencie for me, above all because i haven't been in a lot cities from Chile, and for that i enjoyed too much this trip.
    The funniest part of this trip was that we throw at the sea all my friends, included to me in the night at 4:00 A.M. when it was very cold. Or also when we played 'tomanji', who lost in a part of the game, that person had to throw at the sea on their own.
    i hope you have liked my story.
    Bye.

  7. Hi all, I remember a trip to the south of Chile, to the town "cascada", is the north bay of Yanquihue´s lake. I went with 5 friends, and with one of my best friend, a noon we was looking to do something more extreme in the lake, and we do a stupid thing, one day we swam about 50 meters off shore, and then we heard a personal water craft, and my friend propose to me : "how about we swam to the watercraft and ask the pilot what time is it?", I laughed loudly and I said "let´s go!!", when we arrive to the man, we asked what time is it, and he said "get back to the shore", and then he go away. Then we realize that we are maybe 100 or 150 meters off shore, and by that moment, the shore doesn´t see it completely, we start to swimm with some scared because we was very tired, by the half of the way, both of us we think that we going to drown, because we know that if anyone of us start to drown, the other would start to drown to trying to save the other, and nobody knew where we were, so we couldn´t ask for help...

    then ,when we finally arrived to the shore, we lie on the sand, and we start to laught with the last strenghts that we have left

  8. My trip was in Machu Picchu, Peru, in 2005. I went with my older sister and two cousins, who were also brothers. Me and my sister live in Santiago and my cousins lived in Arica, then had to travel almost 30 hours in bus in "semi cama" class. We were in Arica few days to rest of the trip, and then starting to Tacna, Peru. We were one afternoon in Tacna and then in the evening we took a bus to Puno, a town on the shores of Lake Titicaca and 3800 msnm. The trip was 10 hours and it was horrible. The road had many curves and the bus was not very comfortable, but it was very cheap jajaja. We arrived in Puno at 6 am and it was very cold (below 0 ° C). We had breakfast at the bus terminal and then met Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world. Then we took another bus to Cuzco. When we arrived in Cuzco, we stayed in a hostel with other tourists: Argentines, brazilians and chileans too. We met the city and was very interesting and beautiful. Almost the entire city was made of rocks as did the Incas. The next day we took a train to the town of "Aguas Calientes" which is next to Machu Picchu and the next morning we went to Machu Picchu on a tourist bus. Is an amazing place, surrounded by the Amazon rainforest. We met the Inca culture and constructions and architecture using only carved rocks. The fun part of the trip was when we climb Huayna Picchu mountain and reaching the top, we had to climb a ladder almost vertical and my sister was afraid to go up and the tourists asked why not climb. After knowing everything and rest, we went back to Arica in bus and celebrated with a barbacue the trip fulfilled. The total trip was very cheap, just over $ 100,000 per person and one of my trips more important of my life.

  10. Hi guys!
    I have a funny history! When I was 16 I was in a folkloric dance group, so we had traveled to Puerto Saavedra near Temuco to show our dances and choreography. One day we present the show in a rural village of Mapuche´s people, with our typical costumes, “huaso” boots, hats, “ponchos” and the women with their dresses. Then in the evening when we travel back to the school where we stayed, we realized a stop to buy something to drink in a liquor store located on a road on a hill. When we came back to the bus after purchase, it´s doesn´t turn on and so we had to stay in the bus all night drinking in the bus near to the liquor store with our typical costumes.
    See you!

  13. Hi partners!
    I have a very funny story. You gonna laugh a lot ! Two years ago on summer I travelled with around ten friends to a place near of Pichilemu. The same thing that "Nono" but to a place called Cahuil, to the house of one the friends of the group. Since the beginning all it was really funny, between choose the place to sleep until the food to lunch... All nights we did a lot of activities, we drank a lot of beers and anothers things. One of that morning I had to go to buy bread for the breakfast, I was choosen for all the group. Well, in that moment I had the brilliant idea to go to buy on the motocycle of my friend, because it was faster than go walking. MM, after buy the bread, I went out of the shop, and the BIG SURPRISE the Police it was stand out waiting for me! Obviously they ask for my documents... And in that time I was a child, yet. I arrived to the house and I told all the story to my friends, one of them went with me to receive the other things. At the moment that I went back to the Police they give me all the things, BUT with one request... I had to put the (casco) and to make the mimic... Something like ride the motorcycke but without the motorcycle, and I had to do that until I dissapear of their view..So, in front of all the people! I had to do my best actuation like the motociclist number one! Well, everybody laughed with this, obviously, but it was really funny because the Police were nice with me all the time, "the same thing happen in all our country..." ajajaj, and well, I didn't have to worried about that... I hope this story make you smile
    Regards!

  14. Hi,
    My best trip was this summer with my friends. We went to the beach for five days and we drunk all the beer of the world in one day. In this trip, I remember the day when my girlfriend swam in the sea with me. She could not stand up because the tide was very strong. On this trip we drank absenta. Absenta is an alcoholic drink. This drink has 70 degrees of alcohol, so it is very dangerous. The last day we went to san antonio and took a tour in a boat. This trip has been the best trip of my life.

  16. Hello!!!
    A couple of years ago, I went to Mendoza with a friend. All the travel started with problems. First, we did not find passages in bus, besides we had not much money for the passages so we offered to take on a bus of doubtful reputation, the bus seemed a hare. When we reached the border, we lowered of bus and we went the toilet. When we returned the bus had begun to move. We had to run moving the arms from side to side and screaming for us not they will abandon there. By luck, the other passengers prevented the driver continue with the trip, although that did not prevent us run as 200 meters. After we laugh thinking in the situation and in that we would done if we not arrive at bus.

  17. hi all. -
    My best holiday was when I had an opportunity of going to Concepcion, and to know the "CHIFLON DEL DIABLO", which is a very old coal mine.
    I also had the opportunity to meet the famous "Huascar", where I also had the opportunity to meet him inside.
    recommend this trip for all youth was very cultural this opportunity, and not very expensive. Well, me and my friends had a little luck because one of these friends have family in Concepcion, so we could sleep peacefully and without pay for this.

    That was my most exciting journey so far, I hope to have many more opportunities and how are you spending so much quality time with people that I consider.

  18. Hello.
    I have a story of my last vacation. I traveled with my girlfriend to "La Carretera Austral" to tour and sleep in tents at night, we were putting together our new camp and we found out that our tent we had stayed at the other site. Then we had to lose a whole day to fetch the tent, the consequence of lost days was that we lost a boat that would take us to the island of Castro and the worst is that the boat travels from Chaiten to Castro every 4 days. Good thing helped us meet other locations near Chaitén.

  19. hi again
    this year has been the best of all because I´ve traveled to much. I´ve always loved to travel. In april 2012 I went to Easter Island, this is the best place of chile to me. From chile to Island is 4-5 hrs already. This place is very magic since the Moai until the people. I went with my mother and my mother´s friend, her name is Paola. I visited a lot of place in the Island and I met many people. The funny part is that in the Island live a man called "El tiburon", this man is a womanizer because he kisses all woman tourists and he takes a women to the old cave in the island. All people talked about this.

    I hope you´ve liked my history
    bye

  20. Hi people,
    Like my friend Javier, I did a travel to the beautifull island of Chiloe and Puerto Montt, in the south of our country. I went two followed summers, and I want to go again as soon is possible. I went with my best friend; He is my friend since we are 12 years old. We knew a lot of beautifull places, on the continent and the island. We slept on the road many times, because we were "backpackers". We ate many of strange food for us, like potatoes of many colours and the delicious salon of the island. We never have eaten a so good salmon like that one again. We hope come back soon.
    Regards,

  22. Hello all!

    Ok, I am going to tell you about one better travel in my life. I did travel with my family, my mom, my dad, my old brother, my young brother and my two grandmothers to San Pedro de Atacama specifically in Mamiña, a small town in north of Chile, in this place I ate cazuela de guanaco and I did swim in the mamiña´s natural thermal baths. I think that was a very good experience in family for nouns and the last time that I did travel with my two grandmothers. But I hope go to France someday and I think that travel will be the best of my life, maybe.

    see you!

  23. Hi everyone!

    This is my story: When i was in 4th grade, I went to Brazil whith my classmates. I went to Santa Catarina. We travelled by bus, It took us 5 days to arrive. When I got there, I drank a lot of "caipirinhas", and I went to many touristics places. The brazilian food is different, for example, you can drink avocado-milk and eat banana-sandwich. We went to many parties, almost everyday, It was very funny. I`d love to go there again in the future.

    Regards!

    The first one, when I was 10 years old I went to Denmark for two months. I visited my sister there and It was a really great experience because I Knew many places and I shared with people with other culture. The second place, Valdivia, was when I was 16 years old, I been there with two friends and their family. All days we visited different places and we eat very good because my friend's aunt cooked really really good. The last travel that I mentioned was this year and It is special because I visited my family in Linares that I don´t see in a very long time and it was really good see them. I shared a lot with my cousin, we rode a horse, we did trekking and many funy things, was a really good travel!!!

  25. Hi all

    My best trip was to "The Docks" This is the fifth region north of Valparaiso, this trip was very simple and very inexpensive but we did among several college friends and it was really excellent.
    This trip will feature because it is a destination very close to Santiago and is a place where you can camp on the beach, you can get drinking water from a spring, is very busy and is a very nice place. It's special to go with friends and get away from the routine.
