Santiago Day 1

We arrived in Santiago around 1430 and had some time to chill out after we arrived at the hostel. Allan had some thank you cards to (finally) write.

Before dinner, we went across the street to Cerro Santa Lucía. The park was very pretty and was designed with a circular design. We entered the front gate and signed in. We were greeted with a huge fountain and a domed yellow building. We continued spiraling our way around the park seeing statues and climbing some rather thin steps up to the top of the hill to the viewpoint. We had a great view over the city. Unfortunately, the park closes before sunset, but it was still very pretty.

After our walk through the park, we got a decent pizza deal for dinner and walked through the area where we are staying. It seems very safe and pretty trendy too.Read more
