Day 18 – Santiago, Chile (01 Sep 2018)

The next day we arrived at our wee apartment and dropped off our belongings before wandering through the city centre to see some of the historical buildings, as well as the Plaza de Centro, which is an area full of markets, stalls, traditional street food and live acts.

Later that evening we took the Funicular up to San Cristóbal Hill, which has a large statue of the Virgin Mary on top. It rises about 300m above the rest of Santiago, with the peak being the second highest point in the city. As you can imagine it had the best skylines of the city. We stayed there for sunset and were even able to see the Andes Mountains in the distance.

As always, we hit happy hour and had a few drinks, whilst enjoying the busy hustle and bustle ambience of the windy streets and alleyways. On our way back to the apartment we even got to see a local musical and dance group performing on the street for everyone.
