High above Santiago is the Cerro San Cristobal, a Andean foot-hill that towers over the city from where you can see everything on a clear day. Both our days in Santiago were clear days, so we were quickly lucky to get the best views possible.

Chile: 2 days 6 hours in a bus
We arrived in Santiago de Chile after spending a length of time on a bus that I had never before imagined was possible and be honest – it was fine. I spent probably half the time staring out of the window at the bleak desert half asleep and the other half watching the dozen onboard movies.
Caracol turned out to be more of an agency than a bus service and we ended up travelling with the excellent Chilean company Tas-Choapa – it seems all the buses in Chile are excellent.
