The best Holiday in my ife

I have a very small world. By that, I mean that I don’t know a lot of different places and haven’t gone on a large, amazing or impressive vacation. But the few destinies I’ve gone to, I’ve tried to make the most I could during my time in them.

That being said, there is a place that, while it’s not very far from Santiago (like two hours) I’ve always felt like it is another world, a perfect summer place that I feel it’s almost as if it was created just for me. That place is Algarrobo, specifically the Canelo/Canelillo sector.

This place is know for the beautiful white beaches, interesting landscapes and its close monuments like the Pájaros Niños islet and the Peña Blanca rock formations, although it also has many places if you want entertainment outside of exploring or bathing.

The first time I went there was during the summer of 2013, back when I was 14 years old. I traveled ther for a few days with my dad, my brother and sisters, and we traveled by car, and we stayed in a house for a week. I was incredibly impressed by the fact that to get to the Canelo beach, we had to walk through a forest. It blew my mind! It was like going to a secret, personal beach that, compared to other ones in Algarrobo, was practically empty.

Outside of the beaches, I loved the fact that there was actual arcades, like the ones that were popular in the ‘90s. During that time I was just getting into videogame collecting, and seeing a place like that made me very happy. This little time capsule made this vacation feel magical and unforgettable to me.
