Maybe one day I’ll have enough Spanish to adequately describe this place. Charles Darwin gave it the high praise of “certainly most striking.”
The west entrance. This is a PARK.
Terrazzo Neptuno.
The fountain of Neptute.
The first part of the park made of terraces going up the hill.
Looking down.
On the way up the hill.
Of course there’s a statue of a dog!
Plaza de Pedro de Valdivia, founder of Santiago.
Looking up at Torre Mirador, the highest point of the park.
Looking down on Jardin Circular (Circle Garden).
The VIEW.
The ANDES.
Obligatory selfie.
The crypt of Santiago’s first archbishop…partway up this hill!
Mural dedicated to ONE OF Chile’s Nobel laureate’s, Gabriela Mistral.
The park BELOW the park!
The east entrance to the park, where I came out.
