We arrived in Santiago from a 20 hour bus ride from the north of Chile. We went straight to our accommodation and low and behold who should we run into in the reception area but Rowan and Leon (for those of you that don’t know, they are our close friends and we were going to be doing some travelling together for 8 days). We had managed to hire a gorgeous little two bedroom apartment for a couple of nights and settled in there quite quickly. After
The following day we did some sight-seeing around the city, before a quick dip in the pool on the 24th floor of our apartment complex.
We then decided for a change of scene and headed south to the sleepy surfing town of Pichilemu. We hired our own little wooden, mountain cabin for 3 nights and managed to get in some surfing, horseback riding along the black sand beaches, and brilliant local cuisine. It was a great chilled out few days and highlighted by finding a beachfront bar with hot-tubs above the sand dunes, where you could drink cocktails in the setting sun!
