A Chunk of Chile with a Dash of South America

Living and travelling in South America from our base in Chile since 1997. I have personally experienced the extremes here, living in a shed without a bathroom in a poor dangerous part of town to the other extreme of having an elegant dinner with the President at the palace. This blog is about things that I have done or that have caught my attention here as well as travel information that may be useful.

Videos of Cerro San Cristobal

Just showing a couple more videos we took from when we drove up to the top of Cerro San Cristobal hill in Santiago, Chile the other weekend.

The first video is a couple of Gargoyles that overlook Santiago from the Funicular building on Cerro San Cristobal Hill. This video is divided into two parts; the first is taken from below where I zoom in on one of the gargoyles to see the details of it. The second part is from a different angle with a view of the city.



The second video is a panoramic view of Santiago in Summer (without snow on the Andes Mountains) as taken from the top of Cerro San Cristobal Hill. I’ll go up again in the middle of winter (after a day of rain) to capture the Andes Mountains in all their snow-capped glory.



Hope you enjoy them!

Each year Memphis sponsors a month long festival in May called Memphis in May. One of the festival goals is to foster international relations and as such it honors a country and that country's culture becomes the theme for the festival's events. This year we are honoring Chile. I have been writing a blog themed around downtown Memphis and I thought it would be good to add some blogs from Chile to my sidebar as a way to get people interested in Chile and learn about day to day life. I found your blog and thought it would be interesting for people to visit. I'll be checking in often!
