Andes

The Andes are the longest mountain range in the world. The highest peak (just over the border in Argentina) is 22,825 feet high. We had a day-long bus trip from Santiago to the Portillo Ski Area high in the Andes. After our previous bad day in Santiago this turned out to be the best on-shore excursion we had. The guide (Roberto) was the most informative and spoke English that we could easily understand. The lunch was outstanding and the views spectacular. It was a fine way to complete our trip with good memories.
