Paillaco

Paillaco is a commune of Valdivia and it’s located in southern Chile.

It’s a special place for me because my partner lives there, so every time he has to travel to Santiago so we can spend some time together, but he has told me a lot about his city. Besides, I’ve been told so many times that Valdivia is the most beautiful city of Chile that I’m pretty much eager to visit it anytime soon. I’ve never been there before because it’s very far from here; it would take me about 10 hours to get there by bus, so I can’t go just for the day, I’d have to stay a couple of days to make the trip count.

Furthermore, Paillaco has this amazingly old architecture with houses a hundred years old that still remain intact thanks to Paillaco's Patrimonial project (http://paillacopatrimonial.blogspot.com/)

Here are some pictures:

Another thing my partner has told me is that Valdivia’s weather is rainy most of the year and that’s why it’s filled with green areas, I mean there are parks and forests everywhere you look:

And rivers AND lakes!

All that I mentioned makes Paillaco a great place to vacation or to visit. Not to live though, it’s actually pretty tough to live in the south.
