My Hobbie

There are not many things in life that passionate me as much as being in contact with nature, and that is exactly the main problem of living in the city: because of our Gray routine, filled of cars and contamination it makes hard make time for ourselves.

Because of that one of my favourite hobbies is climbing mountains. I reached this activity because all along my childhood and adolescence I was scout at my old school. Nowadays, along a group of Friends we have maturated that nice feel of freedom and every month we join together to make some climbing in Santiago’s surroundings.

It’s a really hard activity, because to practice it you need a lot of energy, and most of all, force of will, because after a bunch of hours walking, the only thing left is perseverance. For climbing hills and mountains there are not necessary a lot of implements, essentially some good shoes, comfortable clothes and some food and water, necessary for the activity.

The last mountain that we climbed was the “Provincia” the last Wednesday, and it was extremely intense: we walked for 12 hours and a total of 18 kilometres, which 9 of them were on ascent. Also, the wind followed us all along the journey, but at the end everything has its reward: the landscape was spectacular and the opportunity to blow tension off, be one with the peace of the environment are the main earnings of this activity.
