🇨🇱 Chill Vibes Only: Cerro San Cristóbal, Santiago 🙏✨
No friends, no plans, just spontaneous soul-searching at Santiago’s iconic Cerro San Cristóbal – and here’s my zen-but-painful adventure: 🚡 The Journey Took the cable car up (CLP $3,000) – heart-stopping views (and a *1-minute mid-air pause* for extra thrill! 😅). Hiked down (860m descent, 2 grueling hours – thanks, inflamed knees 🩹). Pro tip: Fit folks can do it in 1 hour… but why rush? 🌄 🌿 Moments of Serenity Sat silently in the hilltop chapel for 15 mins – pure mental detox. ⛪ Sweet (too sweet!) pitstop: Tried Mote con Huesillo (oatmeal-peach drink) – diabetics, beware! 🍑 Golden-hour magic: Almost captured a couple’s sunset kiss… till the guy politely paused for my shot. 😂❤️ 🚴♂️ People-Watching Perks Cyclists galore! So many fit, gorgeous bikers cruising down – major inspo. 💪 Parking hack: Main lot full? "Wild" parking spot 100m right of the entrance (tip the attendant!). 🅿️ 💭 Final Thoughts "My knees hated me, but my soul loved every second." #ChileLife #SantiagoDiaries #TravelSolo #CerroSanCristobal #SlowTravel #ViewWorthThePain #KneesBeDamned 😂🙌
