This personnal site is just for sharing with geology amateurs friends some places I have been visiting during my last travels in Chile, and to start to plan new trips with a geological interest. The root of this passion is curiosity and the joy of walking, observing landscapes, rocks, minerals, fossils, with a purpose to better understand the history of our planet, to utlimately change the perspective of view on our life, our with a broader time-scale in mind.
I will be adding new spots of inerest in the perspective of planning next travels, with various scientific or pedagogic values in the fields of earth sciences, geology, paleontology, as well as meteorites seach and volcanology. As a starting point, I am putting here just a few maps done with Google mymaps.
