View of Santiago from Cerro Manquehue
One of my best field trips was the one who made the subject of biogeography, was in the third year of university.
Went to the hill Manquehue It was especially fun because we got to know field names and the different characteristics of the species that exist there.
I really liked it at first was not very motivated, but over time the teacher explained everything very clearly and motivated me a lot.
It has a "sclerophyllous forest type". There are trees as a Peumo, Quillay, Litre, Bollén, Chequén y Maitén. There are few shrubs such as guayacán. In the field trip we know most of these species mentioned above, its features and how to recognize them easily, scientific names, and why they thrive in this sector.
The sector of Cerro Manquehue (1.600m) includes other minor peaks, but they offer a pleasant adventure a few hours, as is the Manquehuito (1.300 m) to the east and Mount Carbon (1.350m) to the west. The Cerro San Cristobal and Santa Lucia, true urban parks, are the western tip of this cord.
In the field tripwe did not get to the top of the hill, although many of my classmates if they wanted to reach the top, but as far as we move was enough to know the species that interested us.
What happened?
