Trip to Lota,Concepcion


6 hours away from Santiago, driving to the South, a very nice and peaceful city called Concepcion. 45 minutes further is Lota, a town that used to be very rich in the last century due to the coal mine, which was under the sea level, and its callled "El Chiflon del Diablo". The mine closed and Lota is now considered one of the poorest towns in Chile; however people have houses, electric light, and water which make them pretty different from the poorest in Peru. Its pretty sunny during the day, but cold at night, and it could rain anytime.
