Flora's Santiago do's and don'ts

Don't
1) underestimate Santiago winter
2) get on the 611 at rush hour
3) take a class from one R. Canovas at UCatolica
4) let Marco at Sernatur refer you to his buddy George at LR on Sta Magdalena- unless you make your own plans simultaneously
5) take pisco on an empty stomach


Do
1) eat at El Huerto, Como Agua Para Chocolate and Peperones in Santiago, Cafe Tierra in San Pedro, El Living in Punta Arenas
2) stay at Hospedaje El Mirador (Castro) and Hotel Madryn (Ancud) in Chiloe, Maria's Casa in La Serena, and (with parental support) Hotel Orly in Santiago and the Hosteria Mirador del Payne in Torres del Paine
3) dance the night away at Maestra Vida in Bellavista
4) Go to Buenos Aires! (seriously- LanChile's last minute offers. Its 6 times more expensive the other way round)
5) Get lost in a volcanic crater. but bring water
6) Horseback ride down sanddunes
7) when you're cold wet, and exhausted...go to the termas
8) see an actual lucuma. we never did find out what they looked like.
