A Beautiful Place

Hi everybody!
I visited the Santa Lucía’s Hill on Saturday April 14th with my boyfriend, who came from Valparaiso to visit me. We visited this place because it was recommended also that the view from there on up, we can see the Santiago City at all angles.

From start we went up the hill without stopping until the tower that  is at the top of the hill, we saw the view of buildings both colonial and modern buildings, from there we saw the cuts on the rocks on the hill and we were aware the details of construction such as brick, stairs, handrails and also of nature. I noticed in particular a plaque near the tower where Charles Darwin expressed the pleasure of climbing the hill.

Then we went down and we saw the chapel of Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna, and we noticed the words with which it was written, typical of old spanish language also we saw a statue of Pedro de Valdivia, being honoured and perpetuated by the Spanish Crown. And we continue down the Terrace of Caupolican, where in its entrance is an arch and its design was a shield with lions. Finally, we arrived at the Neptune Pool, we sat down, drank some water, and we went home.

I really liked this place because it was special day during my stay here in Santiago, was a pleasure to visit a historic place with a beautiful nature.
