...just zis guy, you know?
Sorry, this doesn't contain any information about this "patch" - yet.
I am hoping to go to Chile in late Dec./early Jan., and would like to know of places to stay that are in vicinity of Santiago, but not right in the city. Looking at Niels' (extremely useful!) report, Cascada las Animas looks promising - out of town, but not too far, seems to have potential for birding right out of the cabin. Also, it looks to me as though it is convenient - relatively speaking - to some good areas in the mountains (I'm planning to rent a 4X4).
My question is, are there any similar cabañas/hotels/lodges that I may be missing?
(I note that, if I had not read Niels' account, I never would have heard of las Animas - I seem to have difficulty "filtering" my searches, and don't find anything outside of Satiago or the coast. Hence the query here.)
