My favourite place (instead of my favourite get-away)

Hi, I think I have not a "favourite get-away". So I'll tell you about one of my favourite places in Chile: Futaleufú.
This town is located away from Santiago, in the south of Chile in the Tenth region. There is a big river there that is famous because its strong channel. This is one of the most important rivers to practice kayac.
The streets of Futaleufú are clean and ordered, and there is green grass alongside them. The people is friendly and gently.
Some of the things you can do in Futaleufú are: walking along its streets, kayak, fishing, camping, picnic, wild boar hunting, wondering with the landscape... And even more.
The access to this place is not easy. In fact, to arrive from Argentina is easier than from Chile.
I've been in Futaleufú just once, four years ago when I was traveling with my school's friends. I have wonderful memories of that experience with my friends. Maybe because of it this place is so special for me.
In that travel I arrived Futaleufú with a friend after a hard walking in the rain, in the night.
We were two nights in there, in a house with a chimney and warm water. It was a nice place with nice people.
Despite the volcano eruption, I would like to work as general practitioner in there.
See you soon.
