  I lived in Santiago when I learnt Spanish in 2007 and returned the following year when I travelled around the Chilean and Argentine Lake Districts for 3 weeks. A very interesting city to start off your travels with...Great page! Dawn

  I couldn't agree with you more - Santiago definitely is the kind of city that grows on you. I actually wouldn't mind going back to do a Spanish immersion, especially if I could stay near Barrio Bellavista - that was my favourite part of the city :o)

  Thank you for your kind comment on my Lisbon page. I enjoyed this Santiago page a lot. I must see those ascensores in Valparaiso some day.

  A lot of great updates again, Leyle,thanks for sharing ! This excellent page is bringing back great memories ! There is so much to see there and it was great to see the many houses in colonial style there !

  I must say, I do have a soft spot for old colonial buildings - particularly as I am on old colonial construction myself! Excellent tips on a beguiling destination. Ah, if only I didn't dissolve at the thought of any flight over 2.5 hours...

  That is a nice South American page, Leyle. You show well the colonial Hispanic architecture, which fascinates me since I can look at books. Thanks for the link to this wonderful website of the of the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino. Cheers H.

  Excellent page with a wide panorama of the history from the precolumbian period to Salvador Allende’s memory and the superb Mercato centrale. The tip about quipu is very informative and the linked website excellent !
