Santiago Travel Blogs - Page 5

some day I will create a greatest hits blog, for now it is just a boring map and some photos. Check out my separate entry for the trip from La Paz to Puno though. Mexico - Peru - Chile - Bolivia

Arribamos a Santiago a las 11.30 am, aqui tenemos que esperar hasta las 15.30. La aerolinea nos dio un vale para poder almorzar, la verdad que no alcanzo para mucho pero bueno un sandwich de jamon y queso y agua mineral fueron suficientes para engañar al estomago. Sacamos un par de fotos para lle…

After a few days in Valapraiso we return to our Hostal.  This time we find the fish markets which are safer for tourists than the one in Valparaiso.  I try some scallops with parmesan...superb.  Beware the restaurant 'enticer', who asks where you come from and always has a relative w…

A Fam Trip to visit the Chilean Patagonia and the famous Torres del Paine.

Reached Santiago Chile, the worlds snogging capital. Seems a Latin America thing - hopefully not contageous! Enjoyed the city highlights including a meal amongst locals at the fish market. We hit Bellavista area's buzzing nightlife, lining our stomachs with fab steaks, almost free at 4 pounds, but …

5 months and 5 countries... so far just a few photos with writings to come

We had been looking at the possibility of travelling south to perhaps Chillan but find that the return trip would put us on the other side of the city from the hostal after the metro stopped running and besides I am unable to find accommodation via the net.  Andrew has had a slight upset …

Een zoveelste grote stad op onze reis. Deze stad heeft ca. 4,5 miljoen inwoners. Kan prima doorgaan voor een grote Europese stad. Mensen spreken hier overal behoorlijk goed engels en zijn heel toegankelijk en vriendelijk. Onze hostel is dit keer weer een echt backpackersoord en daarmee ie…

From fragrant vineyards to penguins, Chile was an adventure of a lifetime.

Aerolíneas Argentinas is the largest domestic and international airline in Argentina and serves as Argentina's flag carrier. It accounts for around 83% of Argentina's domestic traffic and 52% of international flights from Ministro Pistarini International Airport, which is located in Ezeiza, B…

Together with the participants of the "Chemistry" Study Tour, I travelled from Santiago to Pucon and Conception. We arrived in Pucon on a weekend, so we had a lot of free time for outdoor activities. Then we headed back towards the north (Conception and Santiago) and we continued with the official program; visiting companies and universities. Fortunately we had enough free time in between for sightseeing

It 1.00pm in the afternoon and I have 10 hours to kill!! It going to be a long day!! It was a long day.  Forked up the US$56.00 (why do we charge Chilenos so much to visit Australia - reciprocal charge) to have a look around and ventured out into the city.  Ran the gauntlet of Taxi…

These are photos from some of the cities and places around the world I've been to. I rarely include myself in my own pictures, so here are a few that I am in.

We started our 3 weeks trip with a 27 hour bus trip from Santiago to Arica. From there, we took a private tour to the National Park Lauca & N.P de la Vicuna's, down to Iquique. After visiting the port of Antofagasta, we headed for San Pedro de Atacama and visited the famous Valle de la Luna and Tatio Geysers. In our last week we headed back via La Serena to Santiago.

My fiancé and I are taking 10 months out to see the world. We are travelling to 27 countries in four continents and are loving it! We're taking turns writing our blog, so one day it'll be me, then one day Fab.
