A Place: Vichuquén Lake


I think that I never was happiest than I travel to Vichuquén Lake, I went with my boyfriend, Sebastián, like a way of escaping from world. I love travel into Maule's Region, it's wonderful to me.

In this lake there are tranquility and a beautiful landscape. this lake is the shape of a snake, and from it its name, that means "Lake's Snake", from Mapuche's words Vilu that means "snake" and Lafquén that means "lake". The lake has 40 km2 of extension.

This tarvel was in September of 2010, but I cannot forget it, it was funny and very intimate in which I did can meet my boyfriend a lot.

The place is in the interior of Maule's Region, close to Curicó, Vichuquén, Llico and Aquelarre, a mystic town, protagonist of an old Chilean television series. Between trees and crystalline water, this place turns magical, the silence and echo remember my rural's roots, in which the people is charming and all you need, they gives you with a smile in the face.

In the lake there are jet skies, boats and tourist's guides which we can know the history and legends of the place.

Here I did tracking sports, bike rides, picnics, and so on.

I would return again every time that I could it, Vichuquén Lake is a mysterious and fabulous place, that charms everyone that go to its waters and soils.

In conclusion this is LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!!!
