Although it was an historic hotel, it was in very good condition and it was great to stay somewhere with a bit of character.


After stopping at a cambio to change some money, we headed to the nearby Van Gogh Café for lunch. Ironically the main headline of the newspaper on our table referred to the current climb of the US dollar (and drop in value of the peso).


For lunch we had their signature Van Gogh pizza. Generously sized and really hit the spot!


After the very filling lunch we went for a walk east through the city and then took the teleférico / cable car up to the top of Cerro San Bernardo.


Looking down on the city.
