hi koen ,the firs that you must do,is buy a bottle,not a "ladrillo", a bottle of some of the great wines of chile and appreciate one of the treasures of this piece of paradise.
then you take a tour for the south ,stop in concepcion and both enjoy a lot of bottles of the best wines of the world.

�y andate comprando un diccionario por que aqui en ingles no te cachamos nada�
�bacan que vengai a chile,somos mandao a hacer pa levantarles la mina a los gringos�
y veras como quieren en chile ,a la mina del forastero� tralali tralala.
see you���

Speaking of wine, a Argentinian-Armenian sommelier friend of mine tells me that a driving trip between Santiago and Mendoza is quite an amazing experience.

gracias dudes!

Koen,

Visit Santiago, of course. And when you do, take a bus or two out to the suburbs and check out some of the huge murals painted by the people who live there.

Also, Isla Negra, one of the homes of poet Pablo Neruda, is a must-see. That's not too far away from Santiago and if leaving from Santiago in the morning you can be back by evening.

I also understand that Chiloe, in the southern region of the country, is a real beauty of a place.

Enjoy plenty of wine, and of course some pisco, too. But drink the pisco in tiny shot glasses, it's strong stuff! :-)

Have a great trip!

>But drink the pisco in tiny shot glasses, it's strong stuff! :-)

And don't be fooled by Pisco Sours: they are a lot more pisco than sour (I think it's 2-parts pisco to 1 part lemon?)

I very much enjoyed wandering around Santiago w/o a mission or a guide book: I just walked where my feet took me, hopped on random buses & subway trains. Delightful city, w/ the Cordillera as a constant, beautiful background. Re:typography -- lots of latin exuberance, 'cept in the big shopping malls, that suffer through trying too hard to be Gringo.

Only warning: stay up-wind of the Mapocho River!

hello koen,if you wants to know the beauty of chile,take a day to visit santiago,all that you can find its some museums , "MUSEO DE BELLAS ARTES,"MUSEO DE ARTE CONTEMPORANEO","DE ARTE PRECOLOMBINO" AND SOME OTHERS.then you have to eat some fish in "la vega central", a "must"
if you visit the capital.
"santiago dont its chile",says the people who living in the rest of the country,and to know santiago take a day,if you likes the mall,movies smog,a lot of people very angry,santiago its the place.take this opinion"firs day,santiago,the rest,chile".
the south of chile is wonderful,too much green.a lot of lakes,big fishing,friendly people,all the south is beatiful.
the north of chile is almost a desert,know the people of the altiplano,look the incredible desert .
estaremos encantados de que vengas a chile.�
bacan que vengai gringo�
tenis que puro venir a tomarte unos piscos con nosotros�
