The APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit of 2004 took place in Santiago, Chile with some of the events (including a gala concert) happening in the resort town of Viña del Mar.

We spent our last 2 days in South America in Santiago Chile. We took the bus from Bariloche to Osorno (with Via Bariloche) and then took a 2 hr flight from there to Santiago. The heat was intense, about 35 degrees so we did fairly limited sight seeing. We stayed in a savage little hostel called the…

This year was amazing, we managed to do not one but TWO round the world. Once going west using STAR Alliance and another one going east using OneWorld Alliance. Check Photos on each stop!

Arriving in South America knowing only a handfull of words was maybe not the wisest decisions ever, but i'd made my bed and i was ready to lie in it!

The views flying into Santiago were stunning, not that you could see Santiago, it was covered under a really low cloud base. Rising through the clouds though was the most beautiful view of the Andes all big and snow covered and shiny in the sunshine.Having arrived at the airport and picked up my ba…

We flew from Miami back to Buenos Aires. From there, our Chilean experience began as our flight to Santiago crossed the Andes. From the air, snowy peaks stretched as far as we could see towards the north and south. It was unmistakable that the endless white sprawl formed the backbone of the entire …

For my second time in Latin America I went to visit friends in Peru and Chile, it was a lovely period of the year. Very different experiences, shows how different a Latin American countries can be from another one.

Welcome to my lovely circuit around the Latin world. I designed the trip around seeing a few of the rare wonders of the world that few people ever imagine experiencing. I hope you enjoy a vicarious thrill by following my short trip through the west coast of our Spanish speaking neighbors.

Went skiing in Santiago with some co-workers

Went into the metro again today, looking for the Mercado Central.  It was nice, and I’ll blog about that later.  But the REALLY cool thing was that it’s game day in Santiago!  I wore my Colo Colo shirt, not realizing Colo Colo is playing arch-rival Universidad de Chile today.…
