South America, Here we come...

After 3 days in Costa Rica, we had a flight to South America.





It wasn't easy as it sounds. Our final destination was Santiago de Chile in Chile, but on the way we had a stop in Lime, Peru.

The stop in Lime was quite short, but it was nice seeing this airport for the second time after 6 years, and you can't believe the changes.
According to the airports it seems that Peru is not a third world country. But, I'll tell you that when we will be there, I can't wait to go back.

Finally, we arrived to Santiago at 2:00 in the morning. Izick didn't want to go to the city and find a nice hotel (you know Izick), since he didn't want to pay for the night.

So, we had a LOVELY night at the airport...









In the morning (8:00) we took a taxi from the airport to an hotel (Rio Amazonas).

At first, we had a bit of a shock, since Chile is not as cheap as we remembered South America. Also, you can't really say that Chile is the typical South America, as Bolivia and Peru.
The people looks European, everything looks like a European country, the fashion, the food and the environment.
I think it something that only a person who have been in South America can say.











We didn't spend much at Santiago, since she doesn't offer much, except good exchange rate and cheap Internet, everything else is quite expensive. (35$ per night in a hotel).

After 2 days we took a night bus to Pucon. A nice touristic town.
We had a worm welcome when we got there from Gina at Nature house (People who traveled here 6 years ago knows it as Ali and Shay place).
Gina is a Indian Chilean who become jewish. She speaks Hebrew fluently, which is very helpful.

Pucon offer several attraction for the common mochiler (backpacker).
We did some of them...
