TWO DOLLARS is the main unit of currency in Chile. The luka (1,000 pesos) is our smallest bill, and as of January, 2010, a luka is worth just about two bucks. It’s what Chileans consider cheap-but-fair for an event, and pricing one at 1,000 pesos or less is a great way to draw folks in.

Advantages of the running tour
The benefits of getting to know Santiago on foot are countless. For foreigners who have decided to live in Chile, these tours give them a chance to improve their sense of orientation. It is also a sustainable activity because it doesn’t pollute the city. Furthermore, it provides a more intimate experience than that of taking a bus tour with a guide, because it allows clients to personalize their own route by choosing the points they wish to visit, and they can even ask to extend the run beyond what was scheduled.
San Cristóbal (The Real Deal)
This hill is located at the end of Calle Pío Nono in Bellavista, which is Santiago’s bohemian quarter. After conquering Santa Lucía, I set my sights on San Cristóbal, which is part of the 722-hectare Santiago Metropolitan Park. At the base of the hill there are a zoo and botanical gardens; at the peak, a 22-meter statue of the Virgin Mary, a chapel, and an amphitheater. For those who want a more relaxed time, a funicular runs between the base and the peak and will save you time and effort at a cost of 1,800 Chilean pesos, or $3.50 USD.The remainder of the park is comprised of roads for running and cycling, extensive hiking trails, 2 swimming pools, and picnic areas. It’s the perfect spot for an afternoon of sports and relaxation in Santiago.
