Caldera Field-trip

Last week we went with the course of Integrated direction of coastal zones to the Caldera Commune. The trips were very very long and due to it we had a few days to do our investigation. Nevertheless we manage to do interesting things, beside visiting Copiapó for an interview that maida, pauli and I we had in the conama, we mount very much in bicycle for the north coast of the commune. This was a nice trip, we knew the sanctuary of the nature “stones oblicular”, we knew uninhabited beaches, were in the humedal who is in the river mouth of the ex-river Copiapo, which is dry now and bathed of the solitary beaches of the north.
For many years i wanted to know English bay and in this trip I had the opportunity to do it, indeed it´s beautiful, english bay is a beach with water color turquoise and white sands, though is evident that the people who visits the place are a people with silver.
Besides the turistic aspect, the work was very interesting, my group studied the biodiversity of the zone. Its supouse that the Atacama Region possesses 980 endemic species, of which 26 are in conditions of danger and 46 are vulnerable. In the area we can saw that besides the sceareof flora and fauna, the region suffers serious water problems due to the overexploitation of the hydrographic basin of the river copiapo on the part of the miners who there exist. I hope that our work manages to come beyond and let's elaborate a good offer for the Caldera commune.
