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.
I've been planning a trip to Fray Jorge for a long time!, I thinks it's time to go
