A Special Place in Santiago

Hello Geobloggers

In this publication I will write about my special place in Santiago, and it is the "Renca hill", this is the hill most high of Santiago of Chile, it is located between Renca and Quilicura and it's 420 metres of height, its altitud is of 905  metres above sea level and its surface is of 879,82 hectares.

The main charasteristics of  the Renca hill are: In its top it has a cross, in the middle has a giant poster that says: "Renca la lleva".and has native vegetation and native fauna.

This hill is to two streets of my house  and I have to cross a highway through a footbridge  for arrive to the Renca hill, but, in spite being so close, it is always very deserted and because of this, it is considered a dangerous place,and I never approached to this hill until I was 16 years old, and started to exercising with my older brother, and together we started to climb the hill, jogging and running, five days to the week during one year; later my brother married and, since then, rarely I climb this hill.

I really love this place, isn't the most beautiful hill, but it is surrounded by a highway and therefore the people don't go to the hill, and this cause a isolation situation, this is amazing! because you can feeling alone in middle of the city, in this hill you can see diverse vegetation and some flowers, especially in winter and spring when the Renca hill is completely green, and you can hear the sing of birds like "loica red chest", "humminbirg", among many others, also you can see rabbits and mouses; however, the most beautiful in this hill is reach the top and see the city in all directions, day and night the view is wonderful, definitely the "Renca hill" is my favourite place in Santiago. :D
