The village of Caspasana is a small mountain village deep in Chile's desert,
over the back of the hillside, the endless Gobi Desert in the distance. More
than 400 residents have lived in the valley,3,305 metres above sea level, once
isolated and only slowly known to outsiders more than half a century ago.
Because of the high altitude, the village's annual average shanghai to sanya flights temperature is
only about 14°C, and when it meets the coldest, the annual average temperature
is only 3°C, which is the coldest village in Chile. In addition to the
surrounding highland desert Gobi, how to look at a difficult place to live.
But over the centuries, villagers have built up mountain-based terraces and
introduced the Sarado River into the fields, turning an otherwise deserted
valley into an oasis in the desert, making it one of the producing areas of
vegetables, fruits and flowers in nearby villages and towns, and becoming a
tourist attraction in the region.
When the villagers appeared, and why far from the town in this deserted
valley to live in, did not leave a single word of the text. But the people who
have lived here for generations have become accustomed to the surrounding
environment, using local materials to build houses and stone ladders from a kind
of Liparita stone formed by the interaction of volcanoes and the sea, which is
very similar to the mountain villages in the southwest of our country.
Life in the village is so simple that there aren't many activities in the
village except for farming and harvesting and selling vegetables and fruits. By
the end of the week, the bells on the church square rang, and the villagers
gathered in the church for more than a hundred years to pray for worship. For
the immediate life, people are very satisfied and happy.
Due to the few contact with the outside world, the villagers are also the
descendants of several families, neighbors love each other harmoniously, no
dispute with the world. Villagers go out unlocked, sometimes even the door is
not closed, than the night is still more real security.
The children in the village, the neighborhood basically know, children can
unscrupulously visit the door, run around the mountains to play. But in the face
of the arrival of strange tourists, children will show restraint and guard,
often as soon as the tourists close, show alert eyes, and run away in a
twinkling of an eye.
Because of the terraces in the desert, the magical cheap flights from shanghai to sanya stone
house, the century-old church and the everywhere cactus flowers, and close to
the world's third largest, South America's largest El Tatio geyser, the village
of Caspasana is gradually known, and at least dozens of visitors visit the
ancient village every day.
Facing the arrival of tourists, warm-hearted local villagers began to repair
their own Tonggu Mountain Road, but also spent efforts to rebuild the 1641-built
church, square and surrounding buildings. Villagers also figured out a variety
of handicrafts, cactus sold to tourists.
People don't know what kind of change the tourism industry will produce,
whether the original happy simple life will be broken, but it can be predicted
that as the passenger flow increases, the villagers'economic income will be
greatly increased, perhaps this is another kind of happiness index increase.
