You gotta love a city that shuts down a few of its main car routes through downtown – every Sunday of the year - in order to allow for pedestrian traffic, joggers, bikers and others to take advantage of the tree-lined causeways through the heart of the city. Check out www.ciclorecreovia.cl for organized routes.
The active lifestyle is not limited to the downtown streets, though. Plenty of walkers, bikers and even runners will tackle the steep hill climb up to Cerro San Cristobal, as well. We took the funicular, as we only had a short layover between a morning arrival in Santiago and our evening flight onwards to Punta Arenas. From the top, you can get a great view of the city, and explore the various gardens, statues, cafes and even a cathedral there at the top of the hill.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
