One field trip on Cajon del Maipo

Hi! This beautiful day I going to talk about a field trip that we did last year for Geology with the professor Rodrigo Rauld, we went to the Cajon del Maipo, with the aim to see the history under the big hills, rock strata, minerals, etc.

On Maipo we observed the beautiful development of strata with the time, the influence of climate change in this big history book that is the surface of the earth. We really learnt to identify the big changes that the big phenomena produce, leave beautiful colors and materials. We moved between mountains way up (to the east), identifying different natural phenomena  like the form that live the ice age on river and surface; the characteristics of rocks, like its mineral composition, the morphology after eruption of the volcano, etc.

In one moment we arrive to a high place, and the last week of this day rained all week! So we met the heights really snowy! While we were ascending, we were finding more and more snow! Even we could bury ourselves! On lunch time we play in the snow like one hour! We did a big war with all my classmate, professor and other teacher. I felt like a big kid! It was very funny and also I learn so much about one of my favorites place on metropolitan area: The beautiful Cajon del Maipo.
