  Hello everyone! Today I will talk about the islands in the Biobío region of Chile. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to meet them on different occasions in my life. This region has three islands, from north to south, called Quiriquina, Santa Maria and Mocha. Quiriquina is a small island located in Concepción Bay, currently administered by the Chilean Navy. Santa Maria island belongs to the Coronel Commune and has approximately 2200 inhabitants. Mocha is located approx. 40 km off the coast of the province of Arauco and has 800 inhabitants.

  Hi! In november 2019 I went on vacation to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is one of the most fun cities I know, although I only went for a week, I had the opportunity to visit many places with my partner. We went to museums, art exhibitions, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar loaf Mountain, we also visited different beaches and enjoyed a lot of “ caipirinhas ”.  One of the things that I liked the most was the warmth of the people, the food, partying and the transport system. Something great about the Rio is that some stores are open 24 hours, also they have a lot of fruits and the beaches are next to the city, so you can go at any time. This has been the best place I have known so far, because life feels more relaxed and happy.  The truth is that we went to “Rock in Rio”, a festival where many fabulous concerts take place. This was one of the reasons why I wanted to visit this amazing city.
