Today’s exploration (a pitstop day) took us around Santiago, Chile's southern gateway to Patagonia. After checking into the hotel, we headed out to explore a local market, Pueblito los Dominicos. We were able to meet all the local artisans as we wandered the shops and explored the market. I was so impressed with how talented these artisans were.
We then headed out for a walking tour where I was in awe of this vibrant city. Just to name a few locations we explored a Pre-Columbian Museum (usually closed on Mondays but opened specially for us), saw the old congress building, and even the Chilean president's house.
Plus we enjoyed some empanadas (which YES live up to the hype)!

But off to bed as I have an early wake-up call before we head off on a flight to Ushuaia. Patagonia here we come.
