Cultural Geography

Cultural Geography


When I started study geography I didn’t know a lot of much about this career. One friend talk to me something and give me some information, but I think something like “this career it’s interesting”, but not anymore. Until last year it started, past two or three months I understood real direction of this. You can chose between social/human side and physical area. But, in the reality you can put together sides to work.


For this reason I like cultural geography, because you can combine both areas. This year, on this subject we work in Valparaiso. Valparaiso it’s a nice and beautiful city, but the real life of most people on the hill it’s so different to central area where you can find some touristic square, bohemian and night life.


From geography, specifically cultural geography, you can see any problematics like social segregation, that explain with marginalization to hill and a lot of risk that arise from this: overcrowding, little street, areas where ambulance or firefighters cannot inside because there is no street, uncontrollable fires, alluviums or drug trafficking.


I like this area because it works watching any variable, and not only social variable, or physical area. Cultural Geography tries to explain the reasons of human settlements.

My little bro

When I´m five years old, my little brother Martin arrive to this world. Since that moment, I understand the real signification of responsibility and love.  With over the years we have very nice moments, and other that we prefer had not happened, but ever we stay together and stronger. In last summer, we travel alone to the south of Chile until Chiloe. One day, after a long conversations around the fire we discuss by a stupid thing and after that, we do not talk to the other. Was a long night with rain. In the morning, by the rain the lake its came up to our tent and all our things: clothes and food are wet. In that moment we need work like a team and forget last discuss, because we need go to other side. After that day, I understand the real signification of responsibility and love.

One thing that i would like to do again, is a travel to Cucao in Chiloe with my little brother on summer of 2015. Thats holidays we went alone to the south of Chile to met some places like Petrohue, Puerto Montt and Chiloe. I have the best memories of our days in Chiloe, especifically in Cucao, in the coast. Those days we went to the beach and stay over there like 5 or 6 days alone,. Every day, in the morning we wake up to have breakfast, and then we went to walk on the beach. I’m almost sure that is the largest one beach in Chile, and the most beautifull, of course. I think thats days were perfect, because i knew more my brother Martin. One special thing of that days was the long walk all the mornings, because the sensation was spectacular, the landscape is beautifull, and we stay with my partner. I remember a lot of much the last day, because last night, before to wake up we discuss for a stupid thing, but in the morning, when we wake up, lake is under our tent and we need go quik...
