The international UVM (Universidad Viña del Mar) students had a tour in Santiago. We left very early that morning so we could enjoy the sights that the city had to offer. I couldn’t take any pictures though because I forgot my camera at a friend’s house…sad. I’m also going to apologize for vague descriptions and almost no names of places…the sheet with all of that has also been misplaced. I’ll find it and update you!
Palacio de la Moneda with other UVM students
When we arrived near the Palacio de la Moneda, I noticed a very eclectic mix of architecture; modern day with bohemian with traditional, classic structure. When we stopped for lunch, there was a center with a plethora of choices of places to eat. There were people at the front of each restaurant badgering people to come into theirs because theirs was the best and so on; very typical in Chile, so don’t be surprised if that happens. Just politely ignore them. We finally decided on a place called Agusto’s which I highly recommend. They serve unlimited Hallullah (best bread) for free (and even more so for us because they understood that we were students). They fish was also incredible; no idea what kind it was because it was simply just called “fried fish” but it was incredible and cheap. A plate that could easily feed both me and my friend, Felipe, was 4mil pesos (about $8). Definitely worth it.
Then we went out to Club Chocolate (the next block over) and danced the night away
I love it here.
