Antofagasta I've moved in 2009, I still remember that last day of school with my classmates (it was a sunny day). We had to move to Antofagasta because of my father's work. If I am honest, I didn't know about its existence, I just knew that it was a city located near to the border. I've never imagined how different would be Antofagasta. It was a big change, first of all because I didn't meet someone who came from Antofagasta and I haven't experienced a summer with high temperatures. I still remember that day when I landed in Antofagasta ; all covered with yellow sand , big mountains surrounding the city and buildings at almost the top of those mountains. I asked to myself: Is there any tree or forest?. It was a pity: no green places just yellow sand and more yellow sand. The first years were difficult, but then I realized how beautiful could be a place like Antofagasta, because I've discovered its history and secret places. There are beautiful places like "San Pedro de Atacama" which is 2.400 meters above the sea level, it was founded by the spanish conqueror Pedro de Valdivia. It has a very old architecture and I must confess that it's a very relaxing place (since your level of oxygen is lower than in Antofagasta). "El Valle de la Luna" (the moon valley) is one of the attractions of this little town, for those who like meditation and photography the moon valley is the perfect place. sunsets are beautiful! just imagine different shapes drawn in the yellow sands and hills with different colours and textures. Geysers are other attractions, but you surely need some extra oxygen if you want to get there!. You won't find a place like this, where you can find penguins, forests in the middle of the desert, salt flats (where you can float without any help). In summary it's a magical place that you should visit one day.

Hi Max! Here are a few corrections. I changed some verbs that you had in the past and the present perfect to the past perfect. I also corrected a couple of embedded questions.

I really enjoyed reading about Antofagasta. I didn't know it existed either until I listened to Violeta Parra :)
