After leaving Patagonia Camp, we drive 2 hours South to Puerto Natales then take a 3 hour flight North to Santiago where we'll stay for the next few nights.
1 The drive from Patagonia Camp to the small airport at Puerto Natales was mostly over rough gravel roads. But then we had a smooth flight into Santiago where we were met by our guide Tanya and taken to the Ladera Hotel, where we'd be staying for the next 3 nights.
2 View of the Costanera Center as we cross Rio Mapocho. At 62 stories high, the Costanera building is the tallest in South America.
3 We cruise around the downtown Providencia area of Santiago for a while.
4 One of the churches along Avenida Providencia.
5 Then we have an excellent dinner at Fuente Chilena. Chile is known for its sandwiches, and there are sandwicherías throughtout Santiago.
