Santiago Tip
Going to the Principe de Galles Club (Prince of Wales), sipping Sangria on the terrrace looking out over the lawns. Could almost be in England until you look up beyond the lawn and there are the Andes Mountains.

Does SCL have a left-luggage facility? I'm coming to Chile to ski and then to hike in the north, and don't want to have to take all my ski stuff up to Calama. Thanks.
Yes it does. Rates cover each 24 hr period. So whatever time you drop off your things, at midnight a new charge will begin. Cost varies according to the size of the thing stored. It is open 24 hrs a day. It is at the national end of the airport:

Rafting on the Cajon del Maipo was awesome fun. I have done it twice now and would recommend it. The rafting trip was about 12 kilometres long and took about an hour. Trips leave at 11am and 2pm.
Contact the owner Alexis direct on his cellphone. For bookings made and paid for 7 days in advance Alexis gives a 10% discount.
The cost is 15,700 pesos Monday to Saturday and 16,900 pesos on Sundays and holidays. All the equipment is provided by the company. All you need to wear is your swim suit and some sturdy shoes (sneakers) although the company can supply those too. They give you a wetsuit, jacket, shorts, helmet and a paddle.

Fresh fish is definitely the dish to order here at one of the restaurants in Santiago's Mercado Central. The market has become increasingly popular as a place to eat and the fish stalls that once filled it have pushed to the sides whilst the centre of the great hall is really just one big restaurant. Lunch is the big meal of the day here in Chile and many places shut for a full two hours between 1 and 3 so get here early to be sure of getting a table. Take some time before sitting down to inspect the stalls - there are some amazing sights - squid rings as big as bicycle tyres, huge spiny crabs, sea urchins and a bewildering array of other sea creatures.
Cooking can be a bit basic -fried is the most common. If you don't want to absorb too many calories with your fish ask for it to be cooked "a la plancha" (grilled) or try a "cerviche" - lightly steamed or, more traditionally "cooked" in lemon or lime juice. We had a beautifully grilled sea bass, big white flakes of a decidedly unfishy-tasting fish. Served with a pretty basic salad - an a lot of charm and chat from the young waiter - it made a delicious lunch.
Cafe Melba is a great place for lunch during the week or brunch on weekends. It is owned by New Zealander Dell Taylor and so the fare is International. It is the only place I know of where you can get a bowl latte that tastes good and Egg´s bene too. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I love the Egg´s Benedict or the Hue Que? Egg dish.
