Travel Guide Eugene

You have to pronounce yourself-gin. Eugene is a little city lost in central Oregon, as there are thousands. Yet it shows with the rest of the United States: Maisons houses of multiple colours, purple, red, green, amulet suspended to porches, esoteric signs painted on walls, fountains and hippie music. If its inhabitants are far from the stereotype of the West Coast, black-dressed and animated with a strange energy, they are extremely warm. Because here you can come to talk to you on the street, you get more easily than in large cities. Wait to cross a shaman or a good adventure assistant who will ask you if you want her to pull the cards.Eugene's second town, Eugene is 178 km south of Portland on Road 5. With the University of Oregon animated by its students, it is known to be the jewel of the Willamette Valley. It is known as Emerald City (the emerald city), known for the beauty of its nature, the dense forests surrounding it, its artistic and hippie side, but also sports: besides, Nike was born here when Philip Knight practiced the race at the university.
