Santiago Condos - Reviews and Rates

hey, got into Santiago on the same day we left Aussie after flying about 14-15 hrs thanks to going over the internatinol date line. The people in the city are so friendly and willing to help even with our out of the book Spanglish, have to say most of the food places are fast food and really hard to find some veggies ! Had a great time snowboard...

Woke around 10am after a very disturbed night´s sleep. A totally selfish Dutch girl staggered in at 5am, switched on the light and then proceeded to chat with her mate when he wandered in. Then she walked out the door leaving it wide open and the light on. Another guy switched it off but she tramped back in 5 minutes later for another 10 minute ...

We missed our day at the Ranch, due to yours truly not checking our flight tickets before booking the day trip. Let's just say it caused some problems; the solution was to go today. Our phone just rang it is our infamous guide who tells us that it is raining in Spain or Patagonia or wherever and that means rain at our ranch and that means "I wou...

The flight to Santiago was pleasant enough, although we had some problems with the fact that our reading lights didn't work and our televisions were somewhat intermittent. However, they were good enough for Kirsty to watch Hairspray and for Jacob to amuse himself with episodes of the Simpsons and Friends for several hours. We also slept a while ...

We decided to leave Mendoza a couple days early as the crossing of the Andes into Chile can sometimes be a but iffy due to bad weather. The last thing we wanted was to be stranded in the snow for 3 days and miss our flight to the Virgin Islands!! The bus trip takes about 5 hours however, the border crossing can take up to 2 hours as the Chileans...

On Tuesday, our last day in Santiago, we decided on a day trip to nearby Viña del Mar and Valparaíso- both on the pacific coast and only an hour and a half away from Santiago. First stop was Viña del Mar, known as the garden city. It's where all the wealthy Santiago folk come for a weekend break. It's a pretty, perfectly manicured little town an...

We arrived in one of Santiago's many bus terminals at 4pm. Our first priority was to book an onward bus to Pucon for that night. After securing our tickets and taking advantage of a 15 minute back massage each as offered in the station, we then decided to head to the closest Barrio for dinner, which happened to be Barrio Brasil. Las Vacas Gordas...

What a shock to the system being back in a huge metropolis after 3 fantastic weeks in the wild outdoors. We arrived in rush hour traffic, witnessing the aftermath of the most spectacular bus crash ever (3 buses and 2 taxis mangled in an impressive multi-level tangle). This marked the end of our tour and we now had to fend for ourselves. We tramp...

So I thought I´d write about my current thoughts, feelings and observations living in Chile thus far. To begin I´ll describe the family I´m living with. Recently I´ve been debating whether or not I should move in with another Chilean family because right now I feel like I´m just renting a room and am not really incorporated in the life of a "fam...
