Went to the Precolumbian indiginous arts museum in the morning. Was pretty interesting.

Roamed around the city in the afternoon. Went to the top of Cerro Santa Lucia (an old fortress which used to be a convent on top of the hill). The alps could barely be seen. Could see a layer of smog draped over the city. The city is clean but a bit dull. Itīs also more chilled out compared to the other bigger Latin American cities.

Wandered over to the bario of Bellavista for dinner, followed by drinks at a jazz bar in the barrio Brasil.
