Chile Thoughts:
The long country that I still
can’t believe we managed to see and do so much of in the time we
had here! A contrast of climates and terrain with a feeling of
being very civilised which made things more expensive. Santiago
lacked any real South American sparkle but had a great advantage
of an hour drive one way you could be on any number of ski
slopes or an hour’s drive the other way you could be by the sea…

It’s
difficult to sum up my thoughts on Chile…It’s a country with
such a mixture of terrains and places to see, even in Santiago
it felt like a two different cities the 2 times we were there.
San Pedro was very much ‘old Chile’ with tourism thrown in with
dusty streets and Adobe houses whereas Santiago was the modern
city. The weather seemed to play a real factor in the life of
the country, I felt cold for most of the time I was there..! I
can imagine it feeling very different in the summer. It had
some amazing natural features to see though and I’m glad I got
to see Valle de Luna which was definitely my favourite place in
Chile… Rachel |
