Across Patagonia, the meeting of the waters of the Pacific Imperial
The morning mists obscure the laid-back village that araucanos called 'Conun traytray ed' and Puerto Saavedra is currently on the Chilean coast.
Just at noon the fog and the curtains began to see the sea with all its great length; and the infinite afternoon sun begins to fall in the Pacific.
In the land of the AraucanÃa, Chile, where the waters of the mighty river flowing into the beaches Imperial Pacific intense original population was called 'Conun traytray co', which in the mapundung means "meeting of waters". He defined the geographic feature name and the generous provision of nature for the good pasture germinated and fed abundant herds of guanacos. Years passed and after the arrival of white men Under the settlement was called Imperial, when the arrogance of Remington set out to corner the former owners of the land by the sea, and later the government of the day it occurred rename and Puerto Saavedra, in honor of Colonel Cornelio Saavedra RodrÃguez (grandson of "our" Cornelio Saavedra of questionable performance in the time of the May Revolution) was the author of Indian extermination plan called "Pacification of Araucania".
The reporter came to "Conun traytray ed" on a misty morning in February, following the banks of the Imperial. Just at noon the sea mist curtain ran slightly gray and made visible the hill Maule and beaches, shaken by the relentless waves of the sea that called Pacific Ferdinand Magellan perhaps excessive demonstration Lusitanian humor.
The former fishing village keeps memories of tragic shipwrecks, like the steam 'soldering iron' which sank with 150 passengers returning from a religious pilgrimage on a Sunday in January 1948, but the greatest catastrophe in history occurred on May 21 1960, when a tsunami (after a strong earthquake) literally wiped off the map. 'Conun traytray ed' was abandoned and deserted for nearly a decade, and began actively repopulate the 80, thanks to a government development plan.
currently works as a small colony of summer vacation for the Chileans from Temuco, and other cities Carahue in the area. Nearby is the Salt Lake Budi, whose "mouth" the sea is another interesting point to know. All in the same area of \u200b\u200bmarine landscapes, united by the same gray sky contrasts that dominate the gulls and albatrosses. The reporter noticed
bygone ground vibrations, perhaps as the echoes of the tsunami of 50 years ago, breathed the salty voices of Arauca in the valiant struggle to defend their rights and watched the sun melt into the sea when it is dusk feelings of that day revealing. A look at the other side of Patagonia, a territory of wild beaches.
