Favorite traveling places #8: Chile - Santiago de Chile

Santiago is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains, because of course more than half of Chile is mountains as I said in the beginning. Nature beats everything. In spite of having different incredible cities, I'm much more impressed about the mountain ranges, lakes and deserts, even has very interesting beaches, although there are many great places to visit in santiago, I want you to see the surroundings for you can love them just like I do.

They say that the accent of Chileans is difficult to understand, but me as a Venezuelan already have an accent. We may understand each other better if we speak colloquially. I tell you better about this when I visit Chile one day.

As every Chilean city, Santiago does not have much to envy since it has enough to offer, it has gastronomic variety, museums and many tourist places. The center of the city is perhaps one of the most visited due to the Roman square and the cathedral that is usually a reference point. This complex of buildings are considered national monuments

One of my biggest dreams is to cross Latin America through the Pan American. It is a highway that crosses all America from Canada to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina. Crosses all types of climates and geographies, although they believe that it is a simple route, because it really is a connection of different roads that before being epically recognized, they were simple roads that united cities and towns. They have to be long. It is known as Route 5 that pass through the Desert.

Chile has unique places as it is the driest desert in the world is located in Antofagasta. where you can take some amazing photos that will shock anyone. In the middle of the desert we have the famous "Hand of the Desert" made by the Chilean Mario Irarrázabal. Recognized internationally for all his sculptures, even in Venice he has made Hands.

In Santiago de Chile one of the things that attracts more tourists is the fact of skiing. I must be honest and say that I have never skied but if I want to do it, it is a sport that really intrigues me.

There are a staggering amount of mountains and lagoons that really look like they are drawn from a fairy tale. As are Las Torres del Paine. They are a little far and away from the city but from my point of view it is worth that trip. As far as I read on internet pages the place counts on with services like camping, horseback riding, navigation, excursions, trekking and SO many more things.

Another of the places that are far from society but really worth visiting are the "Cathedrals of Marmol" It is in Patagonia as well and it is formed by pillars that have an eroded structure which over time has been giving them a peculiar shape like the roofs of the cathedrals. Chile really is a big country, and I lacked thousands of things to stand out and speak, but this time It's some.
