Mr. Mountain Villarrica

I will choose summer holidays since I don't go out much during the year except for this season. The nearest and most vivid vacation I remember (probably because it didn't happen that long ago), is when I went to the south of Chile, a beautiful place called Villarrica, located in the  IX region of the Araucanía.

 

This happened approximately 2 years ago, I was invited to a friends house located in this city, with 2 other friends. It is a very small town which holds many beautiful and natural landscapes like mountains, lakes and forests. It's always a sight to see and discover, so we obviously had to spend our time touring not only the lakes, but also the mysterious and stunning waterfalls, the rivers, the surrounding towns and visiting at least one of the thermal springs, which are hidden in the area. Because we didn't want to be that much of bother, we settled only for a week, but it was enough to make a change of pace.

We didn't have the lady weather on our side, since the days were very cold and cloudy, it even rained, and Mister mountain Villarrica, one of the main tourist attractions was hidden behind the clouds almost all the days we were there. But even so the walks were very enjoyable, the air was clean and we even had a boat ride on the lake. We spent our time shopping at the handicraft fairs looking for souvenirs, and even payed a guided tour to discover special places near or outside the city. Overall Villarrica is an amazing and quiet place with a small population, but even though it may be sunny, it can get really cold at times, so deciding the correct attire for the day may be tricky.

It's the holiday I have the most memories of, so that is why I chose it, not sure it was the best, but it was very enjoyable.
