We did a day trip to El Yeso a turquoise lake (actually a reservoir) in the much touted Cajon de Maipo area. I expect it would be much more spectacular in the spring when there is still snow on the mountains. But in the height of summer, it is very brown. We did a short hike along the lake before having a late lunch in the area, heading back to Santiago before the rush hour. A leisurely day with the mountains.
We had time to visit Sky Costanera located at the top of the Costanera Tower to do some night shots of the city. The facility is on two levels and provided a panoramic 360 degree view of Santiago. There was a live band providing entertainment and a festive atmosphere with people dancing as the sun set.
