A good place to go if you like museums is the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (free entry) and view the statues and artwork..there was one area which felt like we walked into a penis museum so beware ðŸ˜‚. If you are hungry you can find food anywhere and pretty much anything, even pizza with shrimp on it🤢!  We stopped at a cute place called Gelatos cafe and had delicious sandwiches and salads with a ginger lemonade that was very refreshing. Don’t forget to check out the Postres (desserts). 

We tried to hit a few city highlights around Santiago today and we definitely got some steps in! I recommend heading to the Plaza de Armas where you will walk around shop after shop, tons of street vendors and be able to immerse yourself in the culture. You will find people singing, dancing, mimes, and many other things. This is my favorite part of a different country is slowing down to soak it all in and really pay attention to all of the new things to experience around you.

Pretty much anywhere around town you can find several statues, fountains and cafes all around the city in walking distance so grab a book, cafe con leche and people watch, it’s wonderful!

If in Santiago go to Santa Lucia Hill for a beautiful walk on the cobblestone paths. It’s one of the best spots to see across the city and view the Andes mountains. They take great pride in their grounds and the beautiful plants and it’s free to enter and walk around.

We finished up our day with a quick flight to Mendoza, with a delicious meal at La Lucia! The food was fantastic and just down the street from our hotel. The creamed spinach, chicken kebab, potatoes and steak were all a hit!

We stayed at the Park Hyatt hotel which was nice but definitely not worth the money. The location was great right across from the park and great walking distance from the nice restaurants and cafes. Sarmiento street is a nice place to walk and try some new food, wine bars and cute shops. Make sure to check out the water and light show that dances to music at the Plaza Independencia, it’s so pretty and everyone comes out to sit and watch it.
