TREKKING

I always loved walk in a hill or mountain, and  is very important know what places are the most beautiful in santiago and with easy access for go on foot (because I dont have car) from my house
My favorite place for go is `Quebrada de Macul`, where the access is free and I reach in fifty minutes from my house in public transport (D03) and then walk fifteen minutes for enter to the park. After the enter you can walk a few minutes and you find a small river next to the trail. After two or three hours walking, they will appear someones cascade or "water falls". But with more time and effort I love upload to the summit of  ´La Cruz´ hill (five hours walking) where is possible see a great view of the pollution in Santiago. IT`S A SHOCK !

Chile its a great country for this activities, because it have a lot of diferents environments in the north, exist the most arid desert and a lots of high volcanoes, whit a beautifull trekking , for the other sides, in the south we have precious glaciers and forest, like torres del paine, whit pristine places and unique views.

I think practice trekking its a very good excercises for the body and the mind, its very healthy and nice. I love because connect my soul whit the nature, and I can remember my roots, and the memories of the past, like my grandfather who died.

Blog session 3
My favorite piece of technology is a video camera and I really don't have one, but I always have one of other people, like my friends or parents and the first moment when I became interested in photography, videos and movies, was in the school in class of art, whit my favorite teacher: Karine Hurtado, I loved her.
I use cameras for taking pictures in a presentation of dance or something related with the movement, and when I have to learn some movement in class that is very difficult, I record it and watch the video at home.  I use every week this technology, and when I don't have something to record, I always draw something similar to the moment, situation, place or thing about what I want to capture for not forgetting it.
I like all the audiovisual means, because we can do extraordinary things and effects with these elements and with the help of a camera we can prove and embody our imagination and creations in the scene or photo.
 And my life wouldn't be the same without all the amazing creations of animation or movies, or even the photo archive that existing thanks to the cameras and their power to create new views, and therefore being art for me. Because  I think that it's important what I do or how I feel with the technology, not the technological objects or articles themselves.
