After the trip, we realised that we had learnt a lot about the beautifull city of Buenos Aires, and in our opinion we became more united because we spent a lot of time together, and we had to learn how to live in the same room with our classmates; and let us tell you, that is not easy to do.
After all, we enjoy the trip although we have to do a lot of homework.
This was the last travel with our classmates, because we end school next year.
The only thing we can tell you, is that you should enjoy your years in the school with your friends.
And that's all...
DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY.
BYE...

Sadness because of our return : (
Because of the rain we couldn't went to Parque de la Costa, so we had to retuned to Santiago after a voyage in a catamaran which was a restaurant.
Two of our classmates were very ill, so they didn't do some of the things that the teachers have planed to do; Instead of that, they stayed in the bus, waitting us when we were completly wet under the rain.
Finally, we started the long trip back to Santiago. We didn't do anything because we were very tired. We were hungry, so we stoped in Santa Fe's bus station to eat something and go to the bathroom before continue with the trip.
After arraving at Santiago, we said goodbye to the coordinator and classmates, and at the same time, we joined our's families to go home.

The last day
The last day we woke up early because we had to prepare our suitcase, it was a mess!!
After this we had the breakfast and an hour later we said goob bye to our hotel!
Firts we went to Puerto Madero, also known within the urban planning community as the Puerto Madero Waterfront, is a district of the Argentine capital at Buenos Aires, occupying a significant portion of the Río de la Plata riverbank and representing the latest architectural trends in the city of Buenos Aires. We did a sightseen of it, and then we stopped in the icon of women in Baires the "Puente de la Mujer" is a rotating footbridge for Dock 3 of the Puerto Madero commercial district of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is of the Cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge type and is also a swing bridge, but something unusual in it is that has an asymmetrical arrangement. It has a single mast with cables suspending a portion of the bridge which rotates 90 degrees in order to allow water traffic to pass. We took a lot of pictures and walk across the enourmous and white brige...until we arrive to
Fragata Sarmiento is a museum ship, originally built as a training ship for the Argentine Navy. She is considered to be the last intact cruising training ship from the 1890s.
The ship was originally built for the Argentine naval academy. The Fragata made thirty seven annual training cruises including six circumnavigations of the globe. She is now maintained in her original appearance as a museum ship near the center of Buenos Aires. This ship was named for Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, the seventh President of Argentina. When we were on it started raining so strong!! It was degengerous here...it was the double now!
After this we came back to the bus and started the trip to Tigre is a town in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, situated in the north of Greater Buenos Aires. Tigre lies on the Paraná Delta and is an important tourist and weekend attraction, easily reached by bus and train services. It is also the principal town of the Tigre Partido.
The town sits on an island created by several small streams and rivers and was founded in 1820, after floods had destroyed other settlements in the area, then known as the Partido de las Conchas.
The area's name derives from the tigers or jaguars that were hunted there, on occasions, in its early years. We ate on a bout at the same time we wanted to throw up the food. Then we had a ride on it and do a typicall thin that when you see a person on the bridge you must say hi! On this river there is a particular house.. Casa Museo Sarmiento, the house was built in 1855 with wood; and in there, the ex-president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento spend 30 years relaxing and writting.
The museum of Sarmiento`s house is located in the town of Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This house is situated in Sarmientos river; and is now maintained in its original appearanceis. The tour finished when we came back the port. And started the trip back to Santiago del Estero.

The 4th day!!
The fourth day started very early, the weather was very cool and rainy.
First we went to Temaikèn, which is a zoo in Belén de Escobar, Argentina. It is the only AZA accredited zoo in that country. The name is a portmanteau of tem (earth) and aiken (life) in the language of the native Tehuelche people.
Covering 178 acres, Temaikèn specializes in native Argentine wildlife and exotic and threatened species. In addition to the zoo the Temaikèn Foundation owns the Osununu wildlife conservation area. It also has programs to manage and protect the Parana Pine ecosystem and butterflies and orchids within the national wildlife conservation system. It is also a popular tourist destination.
We saw a lot of kind of animals, and learn a lot of them. We stayed there till the lunch time, in a restaurant called "Barba Roja". Then we bought souvenir.

LA PLATA...
Let's go to La Plata. is a very beautiful place. It's considered a city of administration and a campus city as well. At the same time, as La Plata is the capital city of the largest province of the country, the Head offices of numerous organizations are settled there. La Plata is considered one of the main cities of Argentina and South America for its great architectural, and cultural heritages.
Like in no other place, many symbols appear in the sculptures, historic buildings and also in the map of the city, from which several myths and urban legends were born. This is a young city for young people, with a lot of activities to do.
The Cathedral of the city was the first parade. It's a Neo-Gothic Construction on Plaza Moreno. It began in 1884, under the direction of French-born architect Pedro Benoit; it took over a century, with the towers only completed in 1999. A museum in the crypt traces the history of the construction. An elevator whisks you to the top of one of the towers - a splendid place for photographs. Afterwards, enjoy a coffee in the bar (surely this is the only cathedral in the world with incorporated bar!). Across the plaza is the city hall, built by a German architect, and described by some as very reminiscent of the Amsterdam central train station. The most amazing part was when we were in the top. The city looked amazing from there, seriously.
After lunch, we continued knowing la plata. We went to the national Museum. It is a natural history museum in La Plata, Argentina.
The building, 135 meters (443 feet) long, today houses 3 million fossils and relics (including 44,000 botanical items), an amphitheatre, opened in 1992, and a 58,000-volume library, serving over 400 university researchers. Around 400,000 visitors (8% of whom are from outside Argentina) pass through its doors yearly, including a thousand visiting researchers.
