Colombia, South America

By: Beth P.

Are you stressed a lot? Well if you are, you can go the Colombia, South America. They have one of the most relaxable beaches. I went there  myself. It was very relaxing, most beautiful place I've ever been to.  I went to the Tayrona Beach.

The water was very warm. I felt like I could just be there for hours and never come out. The sand between my toes felt really good.

They also have Rain Forests which I saw. They were really cool I wish to see all the wonderful places again.

Yesterday I went to the Valle Nevado mountain its in the El plomo mountains (Wikipedia) I really enjoyed skiing there. There were several tourists like me ready to go snowboarding!  There were restaurants With some food for the tourists and for The people who have always lived there. it may not look good but some of it is really good. People where both wearing very little and lots of clothes.

       I also visited some volcanic caves the were amazing. the caves were way bigger then I thought. people were wearing all types of equipment.This was earlier so i wasn't quiet hunger yet. There were these AMAZING crystals! They were huge.

    That's not all I also visited the penguin sanctuary the penguins were gorgeous. There were several people Wearing clothes close to mine. A small sweater not knowing how cold it will be there. It was crazy how the penguins reacted to each other. The shrimp the was pretty good



                                    MY TRIP TO CHILE WAS AMAZING

.Just a few weeks ago I went to Columbia in South America. It was amazing. I went to the Playa Blanca Beach, the Casa La Fe Hotel and Reserva Natural Canon de Rio Claro. The beach was amazing because the water was warm. I went swimming and relaxed on my chair and got a nice tan. I love beaches because they are fun and you can find cool sea critters on the coral reefs.

I slept in the Casa La Fe Hotel. The service was very nice and the food quality was good everything was delicious. I like Mexican food. At the hotel I even got a fantastic view of the beach. The sunset on the beach was so pretty.

 Next I went to the Reserva Natural Conon de Rio Claro. I think it was a natural habitat where you can see tons of South American critters that you can't see in America.

When I went to brazil my three stops where

1.first  I went to Iguassu Waterfall I went there not only for the water fall but the surrounding jungle is well worth the stay.(this is a picture of the of the Iguassu waterfall from http://travelsurround.com/iguazu-falls-brazil/)
When I was there I could imagine someone riding a canoe down it that would be so fun but really dangerous it was awesome.

2.My second stop was the Pantanal, the

pantanal is the worlds largest wet land.The pantimal is so big i couldn't see the end of it. It was like it went on forever it was so cool.There where so many animals it was like a major exotic petting zoo.

Last week I had an amazing time in Argentina. My family and I went on so many cool adventures. one of our adventures was visiting Iguazu Falls. It is on the border of Brazil and is one of  the worlds natural wonders. It flows into the Iguazu river. Did you know that the Iguazu river flows into 275 waterfalls! It took awhile to drive there from our hotel but it was worth it feeling the mist hit your face while you look up in the sky and you see the rainbows it had formed.

Another place my family and I visited was the city of Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is one of the biggest  cities in the world and includes over 11,000,000 inhabitants. Some of the stores there were amazing. I had never seen anything like it, and some of the cultural stuff  was pretty cool. I really enjoyed eating foods that are native to the country they were delicious.

The last adventure that my family and I went on was the Cordoba. it is one of the most important economy centers. Its landscape has a lot of hills and very nice whether

   Right as I arrived in Columbia I noticed everybody was speaking Spanish but I expected that. there were so many places to go but I only had enough time to go to 3 awesome attractions. First I went to the Andean mountain ranges. it was very foggy but it had a great view. It was very snowy and cold up there but it was worth it. 

   The very next day I went to the amazon jungle. It was the exact opposite of the Andean mountain. It was hot, rainy, and humid. The jungle had huge trees that branched out and looked like I giant tree house. there were wild animals but they were not dangerous. The heat and humid weather was the only down fall but it was worth it. Also there were some cool looking flowers and rare ones too.
     On the last day I visited the Cindad Perdida mountains. It was a hike up to a city that had a HUGE beach at the bottom. It was an awesome hike and them be greeted by a huge city with a beach. Columbia is a great place to visit and I highly recommend it.

My trip to Chile was amazing! I did so many fun things and learned a lot while I was there. there was so much to see and I couldn't believe that everything was real, the animals were amazing, the mountains, and the beaches. I wish I could have stayed there forever.

    First, I went to the top of Ojos De Salado Volcano. I climbed all the way too the top even though it was freezing cold. It is one of the tallest mountains on the continent. It was 23 degrees. It took about to reach the top of the mountain. The view was amazing. I could see everything below me from a whole different perspective , it was unbelievable.

 Then, I went to Virgen beach. The water was so warm. and I got to do so much. First we went snorkeling in the water and saw all of the fish and different creatures. Then we went out and surfed, that was my favorite, the waves were amazing and it was so much fun. Then we would just sit and relax on the beach listening to the ocean. It was so beautiful.

The last thing I did was go to the Buin Zoo. There were so many different animals. The tigers, lions, snakes and baboons were all so cool. It was great being able to see so many different animals that I never see here. The elephants were my favorite.
