Santiago: the Peruvian antidote ...

After 15 consecutive days of pre-6am get-ups, money belts, cramped Peruvian buses, no make-up (for Amy!), subsisting on packets of biscuits and brushing our teeth with bottled water (and still being inflicted with a dose of Delhi Belly) and the high altitude issue of hyperventilating if we so much as had to tie our shoelaces, it's fair to say we were relieved to be in Chile!


All-in-all, Santiago made a great city break. Fun and cosmopolitan (has a very European feel), with great weather, restaurants and the wine regions just under an hour away, it was a great way to relax before getting back to the action-packed adventure style travelling that awaits us in Argentina.
