Santiago no. 1

Finally made it to Santiago de Chile to visit my friend Alexandra who I made during my Erasmus in Spain! The biggest luxury is that I can stay with her and her family in Santiago and get to know the city and the culture with her. The first night we had a party with her friends and prepared some completos (1000 times the better version of hotdogs). The following days we visited some view points and parks around the city like the Cerro San Cristóbal or the Mirador Santa Lucía. We also had some great vegan food in the Barrio Italia, a rather fancy/vogue neighbourhood. One day we did a hike around a national reserve close to the city centre called La Quebrada de Macul where we could swim in small natural pools and just hike near the river. Another day we went to Valparaíso but I’ll do a separate for that. Santiago and the way I can get to know the city is great. Staying with my friend and sharing time with her, getting to know her family and friends is just the best way to see how life is there. After a short trip to Argentina I will come back and have a few more days left to spend in Santiago!Read more
