Santiago Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Its a beautiful day in Santiago, sun is shining, pollution in the air, poverty in the streets, not in Patagonia anymore....

Bus ride to Santiago was a breeze. Watched a movie in spanish and slept next to an old guy named Hector. Thats the 1st. Meet with Jorge at the bus station, we take the subway to Lisa's apartment (Jorge's daughter). A...

February 16-17: So, we arrived in Santiago by bus early on the morning of Feb. 16... then grabbed a cab to our hostel, where we quickly washed up and headed out to check out the city before it was time to check in. Our hostel was in Barrio Brasil just west of the historic district of Santiago's Centro... Neat little artsy area very close to a me...

We had a hazy entry into Valparaiso, Chile on February 2 but we know that this can typically be the case in this area so we weren't too worried about the weather for the day. The Captain made a nice wide swing North of the city so that we could make a grand entrance along Vina del Mar and into Valparaiso - unfortunately the haze was maybe too th...

We left Mendoza on Sunday morning for our second Andean crossing, this time back into Chile, to Valparaiso (Valpo) on the Pacific coast. The seats on the bus were very comfortable and we were served (by a steward on board!) a snack as we left the city limits. We passed mile after mile of vineyards before heading into the foothills of the Andes. ...

After six glorious beef/empanadad/super-pancho/ccompleto eating, red wine drinking, horse-riding, bar-hoping, long-haul bus journeying, pick-pocket avoiding, Spainish learning, being boiling and freezing, weeks of exploring it was time to leave South America for New Zealand - the second phase of the trip. It was particularly interesting to notic...

We flew from Quito to Santiago, arriving in Santiago early on 10th August, leaving again on 12th August for Brazil. Santiago is a modern, clean city with the beautiful snow capped Andes mountains on its doorstep, which you can see from all around the city. (Unfortunately, we´ve got a problem with one of our camera´s memory cards at the moment, s...

What a great feeling to be like at home while travelling and have the opportunity to see some familiar faces! It has been really wonderful to meet up with Esmeralda at her mother´s place in Santiago. We have been able to share our first impressions about Chile and get useful tips on where to go next with them and their family and visiting friend...

I awoke just before midday on Saturday, my parents were supposed to be coming to my godfather's house for a family BBQ. My Dad was first to arrive, followed by my mother and sister. By this time we were quite hungry (Mum took her time). There were meats and salads as far as the eye could see. One salad that caught my eye was a celery salad with ...

My long flight from Auckland to Santiago was uninteresting apart from one thing. It took off on March 27th at 5:25pm and landed on March 27th at 12:40pm. I took a taxi from the airport to the youth hostel and tried to figure out what time it felt like. I was sharing the taxi with Rose and Amber, two Kiwi architects, and I decided to go to the sa...

At 7pm on Friday night at the Bolivian border post it was hailing hard and settling in temperatures approaching 0C. An hour down hill to the Chilean border post it was like a balmy summer evening - and there I was in hat, scarf, gloves, coat, fleecy, jumper, top and bottom thermals, trousers, 2 pairs of socks and hiking boots. Phew, sweltering!!...
