one place I would like to visit

When I heard about the Fray Jorge nacional park, I wanted to visit, but I don't have enought money for travel. Fray jorge is a very special place because is a relict (or fossil) forest, which it's a exemplary of the Valdivia forest (evergreen forest), but in the north of chile, located in the Coquimbo region in the middle of  semiarid zone. All this is possible, because a dense fog called "camanchaca" rises up to the mountain from the sea and becomes trapped in the forest, it thus enables this place survive. This park protect some species of fauna like the humboldt penguin(Spheniscus humboldti), Culpeo Fox (Lycalopex culpaeus) and the chungungo(Lontra felina) and other species of flora like the tree "olivillo" (Aextoxicon punctatum) and creepers (epiphytic plants) like "medallita" (Sarmienta scandens) and "copihue" (Lapageria rosea).


  This place was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and administered by CONAF. Entry is $2.500(CLP) for the adults and $1.300(CLP) for the children and youth.
