Hi. In this post I tell you what places I think should a foreigner tourist visit in Santiago de Chile. At first, I can offer them history places to visit. For example: where Santiago city was founded. This place is “Plaza de Armas”. In there we can see two monuments: the founder Pedro de Valdivia riding his horse in a corner, and the native people’s monument in the other side of the square. Around the square we can see the Catholic Cathedral, the government palace, and other buildings actually shopping places. In our historical tour we visit San Francisco’s Church, Santa Lucía’s Hill, and La Moneda Palace. In this moment of our trip we can be thirsty. Is time to know popular places. Let’s go to “La Piojera” for drink a “Terremoto”, then we can have to lunch in “Mercado Central”, and visit “Estación Mapocho”. We use “Metro”, our subway to go to San Cristobal’s Hill. In the top we see Santiago city and the smog cloud. The tourist can take pictures or buy Santiago city’s postcards without smog. In the base of San Cristobal Hill, we can visit “La Chascona”, one of many houses of Pablo Neruda, into this cultural center the foreigner can feel like a friend of the poet. In this moment we are very near of the “Carrete” zone. Bellavista is welcome us with open arms. And open bars and restaurants too. All foreigners should drink Pisco sour, red wine, and enjoy chilean cuisine. If they don’t have money, enjoy a “Chela” the actually name of beer in Chile. In a second day, I think the foreigner should visit our marginal places. The tourist should know Chile is not like we painting it around the world.

Hi, this post is about the country I would like to visit. At first, I tell you Chile is the country I would like to visit from Arica to Antártida. I know many places from it. All of them are beautiful. I find lovely people, impressive landscapes, and one amazing thing about language: all the different accents and words to use of it in any different town. But I would like to visit all the corners of my country. Dangerous places too. The last summer I stay in Chaitén, and a can visit, with a crazy guide, a part of Pumalín, just this is no admittance because heir is the Chaitén volcano. Fortunately, nothing bad was happened. But on the other side, unfortunately, the town was under the ash, the people was stay in other places, there are not water and electrical services, and I think in a ghost town like some towns of the north of Chile. Well, places like this I would like to visit. In this occasion I visit Hornopirén, and a part of the Austral Way too. Many other countries I would like to visit, but someone of them I prefer for begin a long travel around the world is Mexico. And why not, maybe study, work and live there. I hear interesting and beautiful things of the place of Mayas, Aztecas, Chiapas, Ciudad Juárez. A friend of mine tell me: Mexico causes you fear, but is a lovely country.
