Toltén, Araucanía’s Region

Hello my reader, in this opportunity I talk about of a beauty place called Toltén.

Toltén is a small town nearby the Pacific Ocean coast and nearby to Puerto Saavedra and Pitrufquén too. The town is very near to Toltén River, which is very beautiful and there is a bridge over the river. This bridge connects Toltén with the rest of the places.

The first time that I went was I had 15 years old, in 2005. I went with my father in the September holidays (Independence day) We walked across the town, my father told me about the history of this place because he was born nearly to Toltén and he grew up there. I clarify that my father is from Colimán, place situated very near to Toltén (1, 5 hour by bus or car) Apart from walking, we visited the typical fair and we bought some things. Though the town was very busy, normally is a quiet, peaceful and nice place, as well as the people is nice but a little shy. Since then, I’ve gone every year in summer holidays to visit the town and its marvelous river.  I like this town because is peaceful, the time would seem that don’t advance and life is relaxed, don’t exist hurry in contrast to busy life in Santiago. It’s one of my favorite travels. Here, I put a picture of Toltén's principal street
