Santiago Hostels - Reviews and Rates

I'm leaving today. I can't even begin to explain how much I am going to miss this. This place, the people, the experience of studying together, trouncing around the city, traveling within Chile, hanging out (at people's houses, in the city, at the bars, discoteques). I'm changed, or changing, but I won't go as far to say it was because of Chile....

Welcome to the first travel journal of 2008 from Santiago, Chile where we are embarking on a great tour of South America including Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. We flew from Costa Rica to Panama and then Panama right into Santiago on Copa Airlines - fortunately our status on Continental allows us upgrades on Copa and we were lucky enough to be u...

So the last few days have been pretty fun, but very tiring. Wednesday i met up with an ozzy buddy of mine i met back when i was in salta argentina. Turns out he had met a very successful chileano buienessman who owns a lot of property, one of which is a beautiful piece of land just outside santiago with horses, he had invited rowan (the ozzy) to...

Well Hello!!! Or should I say Beunos Dias Amigos!! I´ve finally kicked off the 2nd leg of this trip by landing into Chile. However what a strange experience it was to have flown across the date line. Somewhere in the Pacific zigzaging its way down the map is the date line which is like a time warp. I was stuck on a 15 hour plane journey out of S...

Greetings all you English speaking guys!! We've been in Santiago for a couple of days,now. Mending our jetlag and chillin'.Went out with two American guys the other night( Greetings to you, Tim and Brandon, if you're reading this). The guys we're from the capitol of rock, L.A! Tomorrow we will definitely get a picture of a lama...or a alpaca...i...

Another day, another flight! Luckily our flight with LAN Chile airways left at a more reasonable hour than most of the recent ones we'd been on - however, it was almost 12 hours and entailed crossing the international date line. This meant that we left Auckland at 1725 on 11th November and arrived in Santiago, Chile at 11:45 also on 11 November....

We headed straight to the airport for mom's flight. We hadn't really known about the "not carrying liquids on flights" rule until the day before. So after repacking 6 bottles of wine in the middle of the airport, we had plenty of time to grab a bite to eat before her flight. We spent our last minutes together talking it up and playing some inten...

Okay, so here is the update. Nothing too new to mention...well, thats completely untrue...but i mean, life has been very normal (if me living in south america can be considered normal) here in Santiago. The biggest drama in my life has been the break-up with my boyfriend from home. Currently I am dating Jonathan, a Colombian studying in Chile. C...

For the last few days, I´ve dropped off the face of the earth. My first Chilean family, during my two weeks there, invited four foreign exchange students (not including myself)to live in the house. Before welcoming me into their home, they signed a contract with CIEE, the group that operates study abroad programs for Georgetown, promising not to...

Met a great old guy at the central square. He was a reporter for the Santiago newspaper, the second-oldest independent newspaper in the world after the Times of London. We talked for a bit and then he had to go back to work. It was about 2:30 pm. The air in Santiago is terrible, but the views are incredible. The Andes are so close. Oh, I also at...
