Today I did a walk about in the NW section of my hotel but not more than 4 blocks away at any point…….it is amazing how quickly it changes from one corner to the next……building diversity, small cafes and shops throughout all the complexes…….did I mention that the Canadian Embassy is only 2 blocks away……had the opportunity to visit there in Dec when I lost my passport…..
snacks anyone…these are everywhere 
Just a few of the many cafes within the 4 blocks of my spot which serve the many office high rises in the area…but these and bars are throughout this city of 7 1/2 million…..
Notice the greenery….it actually serves to keep it cool with the light breezes.
The highlight of this trip has been the ride down the Carreta Austral ( ruta 7 )……spectacular scenery…awesome biking….and so much that I didn’t stop to take in……here is a link which hopefully translates to English which illustrates and comments on its origin mentioning all the towns and villages I passed through including Chaiten which in 2008 was all but destroyed when the nearby Volcano erupted.http://www.ayacara.cl/carretera_austral.htm
