The view of Santiago from the top of Cerro San Cristóbal. Unfortunately the air quality is really bad, and this was a super smoggy day. Ew. I hate to think about the fact that this is what I breathe every day.
Statue of the Virgin Mary at the top of Cerro San Cristóbal. She is supposed to protect the entire city of Santiago from this vantage point.
La Virgen.
There are tons of beautiful murals all over the city.
View of río (river) and cordillera (mountain range) from downtown Santiago.
I love that the mountains make everything look like a postcard all the time -- even the highway.
Tara, I like how you are making this a Spanish teaching blog too. Thanks to you, I now know the words for river and mountain-range. Keep it up! I want to be conversant by the time your semester is over.
