A PLACE CALLED MAITENCILLO

Maitencillo is an extensive and long beach located in the fifth region of Chile, near to Viña del Mar. Surrounded by nature, this place is the most famous in the fifth region because every politician, actor, actress, musician, and every famous person from Chile has a big and beautiful house there.
Maitencillo has everything that a tourist needs: long beaches, beautiful places to go for a walk because in Maitencillo everything is so perfect, there are no “holes” in the streets so children can put on their rollerblades and have fun with friends. Also, there is a huge place where people can go and buy some fresh fish and all kinds of seafood that you could imagine. But the only bad thing that Maitencillo has is too much expensive and that is because is an exclusive place where only rich people can have a house and live there.
For example, if you want to rent a little house it costs about $45.000 chilean pesos minimum per day. The other bad thing is that it is too expensive to enter a pub. For example, if you want to go with some friends to share a drink, the price for the entrance in “Porto’s Pub” is about $7.000 per person and just imagine how much a beer costs.
In Maitencillo there aren’t cheap places to stay one night. There is a big Hotel called “Boston” which is about $50.000 per person and the only thing that includes is the breakfast. If you want a cheap place you have to leave Maitencillo and travel about forty minutes by car and visit Viña del Mar, in that city you have everything that you want: good food, a variety of restaurants, malls, supermarkets, museums, and theaters. Everything that you could imagine is in Viña del Mar; beaches are beautiful too but not for swimming. That’s why I prefer Maitencillo, because there you can go with your little kids and swim in the ocean. Also, Maitencillo is really safe because you can leave your things for hours in the sand and nobody will take them and children can play without worries.
Finally, if you want a good, relaxing and safe place for your children and family, go to Maitencillo, it is a really nice and beautiful place, but you have to bring a lot of money if you don’t want to have a bad vacations.
