The field trip I liked most throughout my career was the journey to the Cajón del Maipo valley, it was usefull in function to know empirically some topics given in geology lessons.
I just could remember that I went to that kind of field trip with my classmates, the teacher and the assistants, to let us to have a good way to learning.
At first, the field trip lied in many stops concerned to see the different processes that set up terraces, mountains, colours of those mountains, forests, stratums, snows and perharps (maybe it's only within my imagination) some little glaciers. I have never expected that during the field trip we were going to see and feel the snow very close to us, the last time I have touched the snow was seven years ago until that decisive moment. Subsecuently some stops, we had approximately one or one and half an hour free, so we decided to have lunch on some rocks and to talk about our daily life. However, the most amazing moment which lies the reason I like this field work is when we went to a little terrace where there was a lot of snow, so we decided to play throwing snowballs to, thus was the perfect moment to build little snow pyramids (I have done some pyramids with wet sands in strands but the I wanted to test with this kind of frozen water). After the wonderful break we were going uphilll until to arrive to the last stop called "Lo Valdés", I remeber the mountains looked so amazing (the stratums are so bend that they seemed waves) and the fog gave an enviroment of mystery in spite of I couldn't see the San José Volcano, I didn't realize it was so close of us until I saw that by Google Earth. Besides we started to feel a little snowstorm very cold that our teacher was compeled to order us to get on the bus.
I really enjoyed the field trip because I knew a new place that was unknown for me, I knew better to my friends and classmates and I could learn many geology pieces of information watching the result of the proceses with my own eyes.
I'd liked to find some fossils though it was impossible with the snow hahaha
