Hotels in Santiago - Prices and Reviews

Yeah well like I said adventure in the big city, Ive got a couple of photos to add in later, internet access is proving to be annoying. Theres net cafes everywhere but the PC's are ****** and the camera I'm using an EOS 300d uses cf and is hard to transfer images... anyways Caught the metro into the city, the underground system is the best ive s...

We left San Pedro on Sunday morning for the 23 hour bus ride to Santiago! Very comfortable ride (Tur-Bus), minimalist snack food provided. Not a lot of exciting scenery - it was desert all day both sides, except for the last hour before sunset where the road ran next to the sea and three or four stops in towns. With the unexciting food, by eveni...

That is that, as they say, 4 1/2 months on the road, covering south america and still we feel we have only just scratched the surface ! So many places that we didn´t get chance to visit and so many that we would like to return to. Our time in Santiago has mainly been spent relaxing and taking it easy before moving on. We used kev´s points accrue...

Well at last, I am here, all that nervous tension, that planning, those sad farewells. I am finally here in sunny beautiful Santiago. I say I am here because although I am here, by backpack isn´t. It is lost, in translation, it may seem. It wasn´t so lost after my torrent of very impressive swearing to the Iberia office. Now found (in Madrid) it...

voila c est la fin.. plus que quelques heures... c est l heure du bilan.. j adore cette expression... alors que dire, j ai vecu une aventure formidable en amerique du sud.. un continent formidable plein de couleurs... pays des extremes... la vie est rude.. mais d un autre cote tellement plus facile.. surout si on a des francs suisses plein les p...

Dont really remember leaving Brasil, but going back to Santiago was a relief - even if it was for only a few hours...   The place is cleaner, cooler, lower, older, less busy and far more relaxed! Got to Hostel Sammy at about 9.30pm, nice place, much better than Che Lagarto.  Wish we´d stayed here last time.  Loads of little dogs running around, ...

Arrived in Santiago (took nearly 2 hours to cross the border), staying in a lovely hostel overlooking the plaza. We met up with Nina who is flying to NZ with us, Herdy is already there as he could not get on our flight. We now have 12 Chile and 12 Argentina stamps in our passports from the constant border crossings we seem to have done. On Sunda...

Welcome to my first entry. I know, I know, you are all thanking me right now for finally bestowing upon you my clever thoughts and captivating experiences, but don't get too full of yourselves yet, for this, my friends is as much for me as for you. This nifty site allows me to keep a travelogue, with the benefit of sharing it with the fortunate ...

17/10: Arrived at 3.00am on the 18th after flying in from Lima. Nice hostel in the city centre. 18/10: Went out to explore the city of Santiago, its huge. About 5 mil inhabitants, much more monied than Peru, pretty cosmopolitan and lovely buildings. More European influences, met some nice travellers in the hostel. Reminded me of Budapest a bit. ...

We returned to Santiago where we stayed for a few days with Jim. We planned to leave the day he left, but as it turned out, we were unable to go the way we had hoped (back to Argentina through a pass to Mendoza), because of an blizzard on the pass. So, we got to spend another day in Santiago and ended up spending several more days in Chile than ...
