The place where the sea, wind and quiet meets

If I have to talk about beaches, this is all about a bittersweet experiences for me. First, I am from the seaside so spending some time in beaches near my house is something common for me, and I have been in other beaches along the country, and I have to be honest, I enjoy beaches but always something happen that makes my experience a little bit rare. But I do not want to talk about rare situations, so I have to say that I do not go to beaches  just for swimming or sunbathing, actually I prefer to walk  on the sand, observe the scenery and the marine wildlife, that results more interesting for me. But now I remember a visit to a beautiful beach I did with my family a few years ago -when my parents were still together- and it was a really good afternoon walk because that beach was very special, I do not know why but I think I am still in love with that place, the hidden essence it has and the quiet you find there, I am talking about the Matanzas Beach. This popular destination for surfers is located in the VI Region, at the north of the Cardenal Caro province and it belongs to the Navidad commune and is easy to arrive there by buses you can take in the nearby locations, for example from Rapel Village, La Boca Beach - which is a beautiful beach too- or also the Navidad Village and from Santiago it takes two and a half hours of trip. When I went there, in the bus I were watching the scenery and the lot of houses built around, actually this region is famous by the modern houses that people built there, even some TV personalities has its holiday homes there. But I think what most caught my attention was the quiet, the feeling of being alone, away from the hustle of the city, that unique opportunity of find yourself, and I think that is something you do not find anywhere. Matanzas is an special place, I have been in a very few places like that, and feels so sad let pass 7 years and still not go back there.

The view from the edge of the beach

The sea hits the rocks and produces a sound
that brings peace to my mind

The Rapel river mouth, nearby the beach, is
another visual spectacle
