6.Traditionally tagine pots
The tagine's conical shape makes a uniquely moist, hot environment for the dish being cooked. The base is wide and shallow, and the tall lid fits snugly inside. As the food cooks, steam rises into the cone, condenses, and then trickles down the sides back into the dish.

1. Easter Island (Isla de Pascua) - the name "Easter Island" was given by the island's first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sunday. The island is most famous for its nearly 1,000 extant monumental statues, called moai, which were created by the early Rapa Nui people.

2.Paranal Observatory
 Chile has about 50 percent of the astronomical observation capacity of the planet, a number that has to do with installed astronomical infrastructure. The biggest astronomical projects in the world are located in northern Chile. In the Antofagasta region we have the Cerro Paranal Observatory or Very Large Telescope (VLT), the biggest optical telescope in the planet, and also ALMA, currently the biggest radio astronomy array in the world.

5. Chiloe Island

Chiloe is located in the Los Lagos region and is the second-largest island in Latin America. What really impressed me is that it is a completely virgin coast, whose natural landscape is maintained practically without human intervention.

The island has a beautiful landscape, and its crystal clear waters are ideal for swimming at almost any time of the year. It is also a place to do a wide variety of sports, such as kayaking or trekking.

Poema 20 (Spanish)

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche. 

Escribir, por ejemplo: "La noche está estrellada, 
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos."

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta. 

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche. 
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso. 

En las noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos. 
La besé tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito. 

Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería. 
Cómo no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos. 

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche. 
Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido. 

Oír la noche inmensa, más inmensa sin ella. 
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío. 

Qué importa que mi amor no pudiera guardarla. 
La noche está estrellada y ella no está conmigo. 

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos. 
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido. 

Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca. 
Mi corazón la busca, y ella no está conmigo. 

La misma noche que hace blanquear los mismos árboles. 
Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos. 

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero cuánto la quise. 
Mi voz buscaba el viento para tocar su oído. 

De otro. Será de otro. Como antes de mis besos. 
Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos. 

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero. 
Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido. 

Porque en noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos, 
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido. 

Aunque éste sea el último dolor que ella me causa, 
y éstos sean los últimos versos que yo le escribo.


(English)

I can write the saddest verses of all tonight.

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."

The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest verses of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like this, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.

To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.

That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.

As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.

The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.

I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.

Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once
belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and these may be the last verses I write for her.

Tapscott, Stephen
