Chilean Landmark
Continuing the last post, today im gonna talk you about my favorite landmark that i have ever visited: Villarrica Volcano.
San Pedro was great, its landscapes are from a mars movie. But the thing i most noticed there was the Licancabur volcano. idk volcanos are super interesting and in that moment i started to wish someday climb it. (I know that as a begginer i cant climb something like the Licancabur wich is at almost 6000 meters above the sea level haha so i had to start somewhere)
(Licancabur Volcano, San Pedro de Atacama)On December, 2019 i went to Villarrica with my family for vacations. During some past summers we often went there cos' its a good place for famlily vacations, a lot of things to do, you have the Villarrica, Lican Ray and Caburgua lakes, some good trekkings, hot springs, restorant and bla bla bla. Me and my dad always wanted to climb that volcano and by that time i was 18, so we believed that it was the right moment to do it. We hired a tour and rented some stuff as snow clothes and the adventure started the next day at 5am. I remember that in our group there was a lot of people from Israel and some Italians. Im not a mountain expert (yet!) but i think the difficulty wasn't too much with the right equipement (piolet!). Finally we reached the top of the volcano, in that place the wind was very strong and the most exciting thing was that you could see and listen in the crater of the volcano a strong roar produced by some internal explosions inside the structure. While all this happened, there were a few mini earthquakes produced by the same process so you have to be carefully if you are near of the edge.
The descent was by sled along the glacier of the volcano, i think it was very dangerous and idk how i didn't broke my legs with some crashed. But around 5pm my father and me said mission acomplished.
I have that videos and photos on my instagram stories if you want to check it out: @Tobal.ok
