The national and private parks of Chile are breathtaking. Earlier in our blog, we included photos of the highly acclaimed national park, Torres del Paine, which the group visited on May 1.
Then on Monday, May 4, our team (looking a bit like bananas), had the opportunity to visit Parque Aiken del Sur, a "parque privado."
One of the unique themes that has been an important part of our studies here is the responsibility of humans & human communities in taking care of the land. The two indigenous groups that historically were the caretakers of this part of the Chilean Patagonia were the Chono and the Aiken nations. You will note that the park was named after this second group: the Aiken.Obviously, it was a wet day, but the sun was shining and we got to see amazing plant and animal life as situated near this river and waterfall. Thanks again for reading and we´ll write more soon! - Joyanne :)
Hello Señora S! This is Mr. Kachura's class. We have two questions for you.
ReplyDeleteFirst, what kinds of animals did you see in Parque Aiken del Sur?
Second, what was the name of the plant you took a picture with?
We are envious of you! Have fun and we can't wait for you to get back!
Adios!
