Heading to Santiago, Chile? Here are all the tips you need.
I’ve been doing lots of online research about my upcoming trip to Chile. A lot of things I already knew, as I’ve grown up with stories from my family of their years spent in the South American country, but it’s always good to read up on places before you set off. While I’ll actually be spending most of my time in Viña del Mar on the coast, the capital of Chile is Santiago, and is the city you fly in to when you arrive.
People seemed to really enjoy The Ultimate List of Tips for Travelling to Tokyo a few years back, so instead of just keeping everything to myself, I thought I’d make the ultimate list of tips for travelling to Santiago.
If you know any good sites and blog posts that were handy on one of your trips, let me know and I’ll add it in. I hope you find these links helpful.
