My choice for this post will be my best vacation, so here it goes!

What's a vacation? for me a break from routine, something that takes us away from our regular realities to find ourselves without the usual rush of a city life.

Now, as all of you know I'm kind of a weird cactus grower, so I'll tell you about my lastest trip, to the Atacama desert during last year's summer. 

It all began when I left my house in Curacaví to join my friend, and driver in our adventure, at his house in Olmué, fifth Region. That day we prepared everything to start early the next morning, we had a long way coming. We started the day early, at 7, and then we went out heading north to El Cobre, Antofagasta (2nd) Region. The idea was to go there and start coming back south, stopping in locations to find, photograph and try to discover seeds of Chilean native cacti. For that purpose we had the knowledge of my friend, who's been travelling to the dessert for at least 5 years now, and the help of this book (http://www.corma.cl/_file/material/cactaceas_chilenas_2013.pdf), which contains pictures and descriptions of several species :)




We were true adventurers, walking for hours to find plants, climbing hills and small mountain ranges. On a normal day, we would wake up at 9 approx. And then have breakfast to start the day exploring the camping site we had chosen the night before. After that we would find a new site, and track the land to find more species. It would all finish when the sun was coming down, as we needed to find a good camping spot, and use sunlight to set the tents. 



It may sound boring for some, but this was one of the best experiences I've had, I learned and enjoyed every moment of it :) Here you have some pictures of the trip!
