Stato: CHILE (CL)
Chile in 2007 by Daniele Somenzi (and Joseph)
On November 7 was the departure from Pisa travel companion with Joseph, the final destination Santiago de Chile via Paris.
Air france is the company that use more, just because the airport closest to where I live, ie Cinquale a few steps away from Forte dei Marmi.
1 hours and thirty lasted a flight to Paris, nothing compared to the blow of 14 hours nostop from Paris to Santiago. luckily we got seats in front of an emergency, so we could stretch your legs and get up when we wanted without any increase to pass.
During the night while flying over the Amazon and everyone slept, a jolt us wake up, The Boeing 777 has lost 5 meters in secondo.il a guy who was at the cabinet came out with a rocket and the pants still down is going to connect the belt to his posto.Prima I took a shot but then just view this skit I spanciato laughing.
The landing in Santiago provides a drop-down spring, given that as at Malpensa, was surrounded by mountains, very beautiful also the highest mountain in the south america, the aconcagua about 6000 meters.
The airport is modern, a surprise given the record of Pinochet. The car rental avis is a Toyota Yaris 3-volume red with a few km marches.
The form explains the way of how to exit from the airport and put on the first hit the highway to the south, and there we bene.Nella Santiago area around the highway is paid automatically Tramma a kind of viapass, then later Instead, as the toll from us, but not expensive.
The motorway is done well and with little traffic, Chile runs for 3000 km from northern Peru with up to Puerto Montt where we are direct, the particularity is that you see tractors and other strange ways sometimes and there are bus stops . the limit is 120 kph. The phone works but only if you have a triband Indeed, as the U.S. and Canada, Chile, the only country of south america, you need the triband.
Once in Puerto Montt, we try to take advantage of an excursion by boat to see the fjords, and maybe some of marine fauna, both publicized by the tourist brochure, but started only when a ship with a route long 5 days, of course, was a beautiful experience as when I spent 3 days on the post Hurtigruthen in Norway, but unfortunately, no excursion of a few hours, then we decide to book the offices of the local airline LanChile, a flight from Santiago to the island of Easter, to do the last 3 viaggio.La days of this reservation was successful and we are happy.
Let us go then, for our most coveted goal of this trip, the Valdes Peninsula in Argentina, a 3-day trip.
Cut back on the motorway and then review the same way again along the 180 km that separate us to the city of Osorno.
Released from an easterly direction towards the border between Chile and Argentina in the middle of the Cordillera of the Andes. A multitude of birds of prey and other species, we accompany the conifer forests that we encounter in the mountains, with choreography by incanto.Fiumi with a rapid and vast lakes, large 3 times the Garda Lake, the road is almost perfect, reminds me of those of New Zealand.
At customs all ok. In the stretch of no man's land, across the snow along the road to reach us 4 meters high, a few photos and then the other way to customs, that of Argentina.
