Tourism

Disaster tourism is a trend, which is odd, in places where he visited the disaster. It is not inspired nor Pedro Páramo Comala or prose poetically disturbing sounds, such as Juan Rulfo.
Wage issue is devastating to see the countryside, where there are only traces of the scent of something dead that will never be as before.

There are many examples: Go to Ground Zero in Manhattan and was surprised when the Wall Street Center after the twin towers were coming to do a tour of the Pont de l'Alma, where the car crashed Lady Di, walk the shores of Indonesia or to walk along the beach in Thailand after the tsunami, dead bodies pose a sand the peoples of Africa through the encounter hungry women and sunken eyes, large loading gauge malnourished; photos of Nazi concentration camps such as the background to be made, making the circuit is more representative of the Rio Favela photo that misery, and exclusion of children from more pati is peeled, the better.

We also know that many travelers curious IBAN Armero, Colombia is a nation devastated by the avalanche of mud, the television showed live the slow death of Omayra Sanchez to sink into the mud, someone could do something about it. Picture of a changed world.

Is it already Antuco tour?

A few days ago, I was surprised by some of the tourist attraction on the Chaiten. The owner of the dwelling, which is one of the few buildings to have accommodation and meals about $ 30,000 a day. He says that this is a good opportunity to earn a living, succeed, and that the risks are under control. It leaves it to water and food, cars are always the keys, and they know what to do if a volcano roars again.

Sernatur supports the idea, Oremi, no. According to the Regional Emergency Office, Chaiten is still dangerous to hang out. Germany, Argentina, Chile, French, or to reach the city to look away from the volcano and near, and the empty houses, or buried in ash and water paste on the river overflowed.

At the same time, the exiled chaiteninos more, the penalty of which is left of their homes, their history, their dead, and I hope that by the time back, it seems a long way from either. For many it is a dirty business disaster tourism.
