A SPECIAL PLACE IN SANTIAGO


Hi dear readers  

This day i will write about my special place in Santiago: the Santa Lucía Hill wich is a literally a green lung in the middle of the center of the city (that is why is special for me). 

Well I went for first time with my family in the summer's vacation of  2014, and I really love it. I was very surprised of his vegetation's quantity because I always saw only cement in the center, I liked so much the little waterfalls in the slope of the hill, the gardens, the flowers and the road carefully kept.

I would like to mention that in the first decades of Chile like a republic, this hill was only soil and rocks, and since 1872 with the foreman Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna began the transformation of the hill, building many fountains of water, terrace with vegetation, viewpoints, gardens and much more.

This is a special place to go with friends and family, but I advise go to this beautiful hill when you feel far from de nature, there you can hear the birds and the water. Is really nice go to talk with someone or only go to think serenely about anything. 

The last time that i went  at top of the hill was in the begining of the last year, in my first year in the college and makes me feel near of my home with all green trees, green vegetation and birds.

  2. Hi Helena! nice work! The Santa Lucia hill is a place visited for many tourists, because the hill is very nice and you can see Santiago from the top of the hill :) but also has a history that attracts many tourists :)
