Chile | Santiago & La Bicicleta Verde

August 9, 2015 
We arrived at sunrise with a view of snow-capped mountains. Hello SANTIAGO!
Gran Torre Santiago (Great Santiago Tower) is a 64-story tall skyscraper. It is the tallest building in Latin America.

Atton el Bosque Hotel
I fell in love with these sculptures every time we walked around Santiago — such a beautiful, clean city!
Considering tremors and the prospect of an earthquake are possible occurrences, I was impressed and amazed by all the gorgeous sculptures, art and (glass) architecture in Santiago. Impeccable.

Hotel Boutique Castillo Rojo ~ The Red Castle Hotel in the heart of Bellavista
“I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees." 
~ Pablo Neruda
A plethora of striking graffiti and street art in Bellavista. This is one of my favorites.
One of our stops, La Chascona, the house of Chilean poet-diplomat, Pablo Neruda.

Looking up at the Cultural Center (Centre Gabriela Mistral).

End of our bike tour at the The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
Ended our wonderful day with a delicious dinner at Ibis de Puerto Varas. Thank you, JP!
