An event in the past

When I was like seven years old, thirteen years ago! I went on vacations with my family to Punta Arenas. My Uncle invited us because he was in charge of an hospital construction (He is a civil engineer) and the company he worked for, gave him a very big and nice house to live during the work. I was a child so I don't remember much about the vacations. But I do remember some funny trips around Punta Arenas. One day we visited a wonderful natural place, called 'Milodon Cave' (Cueva del Milodón). This is a natural monument located in the Patagonia near Puerto Natales, a beautiful town with a beautiful landscape. The monument is situated along the flanks of Cerro Benitez. It comprises several caves and a rock formation called Silla del Diablo (Devil's Chair). The monument includes a cave which is notable for the discovery of skin, bones and other parts of a giant ground sloth called Mylodon darwini in 1895. It is also part of the End of the World Route, a scenic touristic route.

I don't have any photos of that, but on Internet there are a lot of photos of turists. Also at that age I didn't have camera :(

But believe me, I was there and I felt so tiny!



Here's a photo that I found on Internet. I don't think it has changed that much because the Milodon doesn't move! Haha.

 Latin america. I'm big fan of Latin american culture and of Its Folklore. I have red a lot of Its history and of the identity that has built from the differents countries that constitutes the continent. Each country has Its own Folklorics elements like music, traditions, foods, art, vestiments, instruments and languajes. I would like to visit each country of this continent, starting for Venezuela and finishing in the Patagonia. I would like to learn how to play all the instument wich are played in their countries, like the Tiple colombiano, the Cuatro venezolano, the Charango of the andean world in Bolivia and Perú, learning to play Chacareras and Sambas in Argentina, etc. The charango is my favourite instrument. Some of the best luthiers makes the most beautiful kinds of charangos in Bolivia, there many kinds of Charangos, like the Ronroco and the Walaycho, they are variations of the main instrument. Also I would like to visit Cuba and learnig about the Son cubano and how to play...

My future job

Hi there, today I'm gonna talk about the job that I would like to work on. As you know, there is a lot of work to be done regarding forests and their management in Chile. And not only in this, but there are also many things to do to improve our relationship as citizens, with the environment. So, I would like to use my knowledge, learned at the carreer, to improving this relationship, by supporting any activity that involves environmental education, scientific studies, safeguarding biodiversity, social work and promoting ecological awareness. I like very much teaching botany stuff, I used to enjoy to do helpers last year, but beceause of the pandemic, this year it has become complicated. I'm so sad for the first grade students, they have not had the opportunity to get to know the laboratories!  Also I like to study the flora of the country, and I have known that there is some consulting companies that carry out flora surveys to evaluate projects that involve the area. So if the...

Project: "Embracing the Maipo Hills" (Free topic 2)

Imagen
The hills Chena and Lonquén are two hills located south of Santiago, in the commune of San Bernardo, surrounded by agricultural and grazing activity, so they are under great pressure from anthropogenic activities. This has been degrading the natural and necessary conditions for harboring the ecosystem's wildlife. The sites of interest are considered as biodiversity hotspots at the international, due to the high degree of endemism and its various threats. This is why my colleagues and I decided to do something. So we applied for the "Premio Azul" fund. We set up a project called "Embracing the Maipo Hills" (Abrazando los Cerros del Maipo) and send it to the competition. The project consists of promoting the ecological restoration of the degraded sectors of the hills, through the establishment of a plants nursery of native plants that inhabit both hills, which are destined to be planted in the reforestation areas. Also, the project includes pedagogical visits, env...
