De retour à La Serena, Valle del Elqui, au revoir

Maka picks me up when I arrive in La Serena in the evening. The further the bus drives towards the Pacific, the more everything expands within me. Although I love Santiago, I always enjoy going to the sea. The last 10 days of ghetto life fall away from me and I look forward to the two girls from Easter Island.

After 3 cigarette lengths, I see Maka. We take a taxi to her apartment. When we come in, her cat greets me, her two roommates, Diego and Hector, sit in the living room, a couple that I immediately symphatize with, and two more of her friends, one of them is Yanira, whom I know from Rapa Nui.

They are watching the music festival, which takes place annually in Viña del Mar, there are snacks around them, the atmosphere is inviting and warm-hearted. I immediately feel comfortable and enjoy the family atmosphere.

I even have my own room, put down my things and freshen up briefly before joining the others on the couch.

In the following days, I get to know Maka's life, her roommates and her friends. The house also has a swimming pool where we enjoy the sun before going to the city and the beach - wonderful.

We get along well, spend most of the time together, talk a lot, go to Valle del Elqui together and do a Terapia de Luz tour there, celebrate March 8th, go to the city and go out all together. I also see my cousins in Coquimbo again, ride my bike along the sea, walk the route and enjoy the wonderful time. We spend the last day at the beach, watch the sunset and eat afterwards.

The Terapia de Luz tour in Valle del Elqui first takes us to the mountains to a Buddhist temple, then to a waterfall that has the strongest magnetism on Earth here, stand underneath it and enjoy its cleansing energy. It's incredible, you really feel reborn afterwards. Finally, there is a mountain crystal cleansing. An area with triangular copper tents where you stand under to get rid of all toxic energies. The effect is also impressive, the floor of the tents is filled with mountain crystals that support the cleansing. At the end, there is a meditation accompanied by singing bowls, intense and beautiful.

In the morning of my departure, everyone takes me to the airport. I fly to Santiago to spend another 2 days with my sister.

We spend our last 48 hours in a questionable but cheap hotel in Independencia, talk a lot, go to the market with Enrique, and have breakfast at the corner of Avenida La Paz/Artesano, where everyone knows each other, before we drive to the airport and they say goodbye to me there. Every time, the farewell is a new arrival for me, even though it's filled with tears, but what always remains is the invigoration and fulfillment of my heart energy, which is as multifaceted as Chile always appears to me, until next time.
