Santiago and more

To end the week, we visited the capital. Santiago is about 2 hours away, so we left early in the morning. We first visited el Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos. This museum was a look into Chile's dark history and helped contextualize some of the history they have learned. The museum does not allow pictures, so this is the one place from which you will not see pictures. We then had lunch at a park close to the museum. After lunch we headed downtown and saw La Moneda (the president's house) and walked to La Plaza de Armas (the main plaza in Santiago). To finish the day, we went to Cerro San Cristobal, where students were able to get a full view of the city. It was a great day and students enjoyed their time in Santiago.
