Backpacking to Cochamó Valley ♒

    This summer my traveling partner, Sofía, and I decided to go to the south of Chile. It was a looOng trip, and our final stop was this magic valley called Cochamó. To get there we woke up super early in the morning so we could start trekking
INTERESTING FACTS there's no vehicle access and it was one of the muddiest trails I have ever seen! Well after a 4 hour walk we finally reached the base camp called La Junta.

 Flowered Ulmo trees, at the backgorund Elefante, Trinidad and Milton Adams Mountain

 I still can't believe the view of the granite mountains, the turquoise water, and the giant trees. We could smell the fragance of blossom Ulmos in the entire camp!  Cochamó is one of the most important places to climb in Chile, so u can imagine...  it was full of climbers from differents places of the world, too our luck, two friends were also staying in the same camping, so they showed us a lot of unknown spots. 

We stayed there for a week- we would have loved to stay longer but we didn't bring enough food-  with beautiful shinny days that we enjoyed hiking and swiming in the river. 

  If u like the adventure and  want to live an excellent experience... then you MUST go to Cochamó . 

      

 Here it is a video I made in the top of Raimbow Mountain (you could see some argentine mountains) 

Hey Zombie! it´s Time to Dance ♪ ♫

I always try to share and learn new groups and types of music, this song is one of my treasures of life and this is the story when i listen it for the fist time:

I was in the car with my dad returning home after a party when i was like 15 years old. My dad is always listening music, so this was not the exception. The radio started playing a song. Suddenly, almost by inertia, we were moving the head and drumming with our hands feeling the music. After that magical -12 minutes- moment we payed attention to the locutor to known who had played that wonderful song. The name of this excellent artist is Fela Kuti, right know he is one of my favorite musician.

He was the pioneer of a music genre, the Afrobeat (kind of mixture between jazz, funk and african native music) Kuti fought all his life for the right of african people, in fact, he started singing in english so his lyrics could be understood by all the Africa continent in the decade of the 70´. The name of this song, one of the most popular of his career, is a metaphor of the nigerian police, the violence and corruption that was lived at that time in his country. 

I really recommend the full album that has the same name that the song: Zombie. Hope you enjoy this crazy-moving song, dance and feel the Afrobeat through your veins !!! 

••• Who Am I? •••

Hello Geofriends and whoever came to my comfortable blog. I will start introducing myself, my name is Cayetana... yes, it´s my real name. I am twenty years old, my favorite fruit is tuna (the fruit, not the fish ajaja) so know u can call me "Cabeza de Tuna" -maybe its easier than my name-

 I live in Santiago, Pirque to be precise... i think that maybe living in this place was the reason why I decided to study Geography. I really love traveling and knowing different places, taking pictures, the cactus and plants, dance with the music - I love the art in all its expressions-  and biking to go wherever i want, for free!

Right know I am trying to overcome my addiction to peanut butter ...but is not easy at all if u have a huge bottle of it (i had never tried it before) sooo i will continue writing about me, but u will have to wait for me until i have my sweet inspiration again jajaj..
