Just a Little Hike

this past Friday I went hiking at La Campana National Park

I was a pretty low key hike 

not to hard but not the easiest hike I've ever done

but I've never been much of a hiker  

not because I didn't like it 

 just because its never been a really accessible hobby for me 

but in Chile there are basically mountains in ever part of the county the Andy's Run the length of it

so I've gotten to go hiking twice and both times at the same park

this past Friday I went with my school 

we had a guide with us to tell us about all the different plants and stuff 

it was really beautiful out there

The flora there is really weird to me

I looks strangely like Jurassic Park we you look out from a distance

There is massive palm trees ever where  which is the main reason it reminds me of that movie

but as you walk through it you see huge cactus's everywhere to

it strange seeing big old palm trees and then right next to it seeing a giant cactus

we hiked for about 5 hours

Im not sure of the exact distance but I think it was around 6 or 7 miles

while we were hiking around we ran into some wild cows 

apparently there is a lot of them in the park 

this hike got me real excited and nervous about the big hike I'm about to go on soon

I've never camped or hiked before so the next one is going to be 

testing my limits for the whole out doors thing

Hiking is such a fun sport

and one I hope to continue doing once I get home
