Decent photo. You've problems with tone and color response (& level the horizon). If you're first time trying to process raw files then you did good for a beginning. I see you're using Raw Therapee to do the processing. Change your edit flag here in the forum to "OK to edit photos" and then link a copy of your CR2 file on DropBox and I'll check back and help you with RT.

Here's the link for the .CR2 file: IMG_0583.CR2

Here's a link to a RawTherapee .pp3 file: IMG_0583.pp3
If you copy that .pp3 file into a directory with your CR2 file and then open RT you'll see all the editing that I applied. I can help if you have further questions.
Here's the processed output:
RT can't apply local adjustments apart from the graduated filter (which I did use on the sky). As such I would make a few more tweaks to the photo but that would require use of an additional software (Photoshop/GIMP). So above is what I would consider a base conversion of the CR2 file using RT.

P.S. One nice feature of RT is that it will show you a raw file histogram. A quick look at this file's raw histogram suggests that a little more exposure would have been a benefit.
P.S. And for the record, the few tweaks I'd apply that I can't do in RT would be use a red filter to separate the clouds from the blue sky and do some burning and dodging around the photo. Like this:

Thanks for the help, I used you .pp3 profile and I tweaked some values. About the second modification, I think it looks great, but I don't like to modify the pictures in that way (I always try to make the photo exactly as if you were in that place).
I really hope that someday you go to a place I photographed and you see what I'm talking about
So, with that in mind, this is how the final photo looks like
Thanks to everyone for help me
