ENSAYO DESCRIPTIVO

LA ARGENTINA “A GREEN PARADISE”

When you have not visited many places, you decide to take a tour on the internet to know different amazing places in the world. During that trip, you can see different places of your interest. Rivers and mountains, beautiful beaches, amazing forest, and a lot of beautiful things, But finally you take into account that you have visited the most wonderful place in the world, “your hometown”.

La Argentina is a town of Colombia in the department of Huila, located 153km from the provincial capital, Neiva.

The land route to arrive of the municipality of La Argentina Huila is 153 kilometers from the south Neiva city, there is a paved road in excellent condition, crossing through the towns of Palermo, Iquira, Tesalia, Paicol and La Plata. The municipality of La Argentina Huila has a temperature of eighteen degrees Celsius and a height of 1,930 meters above sea level.

There are wonderful mountains in a majestic and sunny day where the blue sky was painted by white cotton clouds running by the heaven. My eyes scanned the infinite clouds formations and remembered my childhood when I played to find figures in the sky. It is the most wonderful place, it is my hometown.

When you go there, you can see a beautiful town, and a street formed by different rocks; and when you look at the horizon, you can see the beautiful mountains. In those mountains, you can walk on the soft grass while the soft and serene wind, caresses your face. You can hear the birds singing in the middle of the trees. More to the distance you can see the beautiful farms. Their pyramidal roofs pointed skyward. Between one and another house the distance is so long, and to talk with the neighbor, people have to walk a lot, or go by horse.

Nature is the most beautiful thing in my green paradise, you feel relaxing and forget the noise of the cars in the city; you can sit under tall trees full of intense green, for a nice break on a hammock. They combine perfectly with the blue sky and the yellow sun.

In the morning, you wake up, and you can see through the wooden door, a sunbeam; you can hear the rooster crowing at dawn. And you feel so better when you get up seeing the sun through the window, and you sit to drink a hot cup of coffee. The people there are very friendly and generous. A breakfast there is like a lunch here, and a lunch there is like two lunches here. When you go there you forget all your problems, because that place is like being in a paradise. You don’t have time to get bored, and to watch television. There is a big house in the middle of the mountains, and when you arrive, there are a lot of camping tents because the whole family don’t fill in the house.

This is a beautiful place and not many people know about it, because it is a very remote village of Huila, but it is a very quiet place where you always want to go.
