As all of you know, I'm kind of a weird cactus grower/fan, so I'll tell you about my lastest trip, to the Atacama desert during this year's summer.
It all began when I left my house in Curacaví to join my friend, and driver in our adventure, at his house in Olmué, fifth Region. That day we prepared everything to start early the next morning, we had a long way coming. We started the day early, at 7, and then we went out heading north to El Cobre, Antofagasta (2nd) Region. The idea was to go there and start coming back south, stopping in locations to find, photograph and try to discover seeds of Chilean native cacti. For that purpose we had the knowledge of my friend, who's been travelling to the dessert for at least 5 years now, and the help of this book, which contains pictures and descriptions of several species :)
We were true adventurers, walking for hours to find plants, climbing hills and small mountains ranges. On a normal day, we would wake up at 9 approx. And then have breakfast to start the day exploring the camping site we had chosen the night before. After that we would find a new site, and track the land to find more species. It would all finish when the sun was coming down, as we needed to find a good camping spot, and use sunlight to set the tents.
It may sound boring for some, but this was one of the best experiences I've had, I learned and enjoyed every moment of it :) Here you have some pictures of the trip!

The north of Chile is a great place to travel! Can i ask you the name of that Chilean native cacti?
ResponderEliminarSure!
EliminarThe one in the picture was a Copiapoa solaris, native from Blanco Encalada and Botija Valley.
Wow, that was a really amazing trip, I would like to do something similar with my friends too! A question, Did you have any problems the trip?
ResponderEliminarIt's sound like a great adventure, it's cool that you appreciate the national plants and native species.
ResponderEliminari have never visited th north of chile , but looks like a great place to travel, i would like climbing hills if I visit the norht.
ResponderEliminari was in the south of chile , my next destination is the north , regards!
ResponderEliminarThe North of Chile its so beautiful, I'm from there, but I don't know that places. In the first region there are a lot of Cactus:)
ResponderEliminarOh, the north of Chile is a pretty interesting place for sure. Good to know that you've been there releasing the true adventure spirit, haha
ResponderEliminarSounds amazing what you did in the trip, i have never been there despite of me being from the north, so I would like to go there some day in the future.
ResponderEliminarI have never traveled to the chilean north, seems like a great idea now!

ResponderEliminarI'm not a fan for desert zones, I prefer more vegetative zones like the south of Chile hahaha but I also like to do long walking trips ;)

ResponderEliminarI went to the Atacama Desert three years ago. It was a long, long, long trip, but when you arrive there all is beautiful and worth it.
ResponderEliminarI guess that finding all those cactus wasn't easy, it must have been fun though!
ResponderEliminari'm from calama !! the nearby villages have a lot of cactus and others species of plants, the north have their own beauty
ResponderEliminarwalk through the desert to look for cactus, sounds like a different journey. I had never met a person who was a fan of cactus hahaha
ResponderEliminarI had a experience of adventurers too!!. When I was 11 years I explored the countryside with my cousins, but all finished in the bad way because a dogs persecuted us and we were losts for hours. Greetings!.
ResponderEliminarGreat adventure!, it looks interesting and the cactus of the picture look strange. Natural cactus seems different compared with a cactus cultured in home.
ResponderEliminarSound like a very long trip to go from north to south exploring.
ResponderEliminarGood thing you had a friend with 5 years experience with you.
