Chile: Santiago

Leaving from Mendoza by bus. It climbs up the Mt. Andes. Scenery on the road is nice. Cliffs, lake, interesting landscape that result from thousands years of movement.

Chile is really a long narrow country. I can feel it right after passing border on the hill. The road on Argentina side gets up the slope slowly. While the road on Chile side goes like this.Santiago, capital of Chile, seems more tourist-friendly. Easy and clean public transport. Many stations are decorated with paintings.
Other than that, it´s not as charming as Buenos Aires. A modern city scattered with high-rise.
