The Laguna del Laja National Park

I this new post I want to talk you about one of my favorite places in Chile, the Laguna del Laja National Park.

This park is located in Antuco, a Chilean commune and town in Bío Bío Province, Bío Bío Region. In this park, it is the Laguna del Laja, the Antuco Volcano, Sierra Velluda, the tallest mountain in the region, a ski slope and a network of hiking trails. Since I was a small child, I go there with my family to visit my aunt who lived there caring for a refuge. I say lived because she has to left that place.

When we went there we did a lot of things like fish in the lake, barbecues, parties, play with the snow when we had and especially walk in the trails, one of my favorite things to do there. This park is really beautiful and there you can see spectacular mountain landscapes, animals like foxes (there was one that went to my aunt´s house looking for food) and it is very peaceful place. One of the things that I wish to do it would be come back there again.

Here I leave you some pictures that just shows you some places from the Laguna del Laja National Park.

Website

Hi everybody! Today I’m going to talk you about a really useful career-related website. In social anthropology, archeology and physical anthropology you need to read a lot of papers and books so, as students, we need a way to get all these papers quick and easy and the most important, free. In this way SciELO is really good because you could get a lot of papers from different Chilean archaeologist and anthropologist, and of people from other countries, all of this with no-charge. According to the website, “SciELO is an electronic virtual library covering a selected collection of Chilean scientific journals. The project of regional character, it is being developed in Chile by the National Commission of Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT). This project envisages the development of a common methodology for the preparation, storage, dissemination and evaluation of scientific literature in electronic format”. Nowadays there is so many countries in the network, not just Chile; there also is Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, Portugal and Venezuela.

Other than as stated above, I recommend this website because is very easy find the papers of the topics that you are looking for and because there is a tool that give you the bibliographic reference in APA format.

So, if you have time take a look at this website, I leave you the link http://www.scielo.cl/

See you later!
