Second Draft - Description of an event

Summer vacations
The last summer, my family and I went on vacations and our goal was to arrive to Coyhaique.
Coyhaique is a city located in the south of Chile and from where I live, there are approximately 1900 km. So, as you could imagine, it was a long but stunning trip.
We had been planing this journey since 2009, but we had never had the chance or the money foor doing it until last summer.
Therefore, we gathered all the stuff that we needed for it, such as food, backpages, etc, and we set off this amazing journey on January 8th.
By the time that we had arrived to Coyhaique, a lot of anecdotes had happened to us, for instance in the middle of the road (Carretera Austral) our car broke down and my father had to change the wheels with my brother. Also, another day we helped two Italian guys who were very lost in the city because they couldn't find the way to get to the square in where their tourist guide was waiting for them.
But the thing that I liked the most was the road and its scenery. The first one was on a deplorable state but the scenery.... the scenery was one of the most extraordinary, stunning, astonishing and breath taking that I'd ever seen, this was because the road pass through national reservations such as Queulat Park and so on and so forth. As the journey went on, snowy mountains, lakes and rivers of blue water, different animals and forests appeared right in front of our eyes in such a beautiful and majestic way that you were really amazed by the whole scenery.
Definitely, that is an adventure that you certainly have to do some day in your life. It's so worthy that you wont even regret it.
