Alto las Vizcachas

First semester in Santiago

Hike with Kathi to the outskirts of Santiago, where the buildings stop and trees begin, later to replaced with cacti as the altitude rises.

Cactus flowers with liquidy cactus flower sugary water inside. Very tasty.

Adorable horses and a horsito.
Santiago can be seen in the background, but that's probably better to ignore.
Many of the small leafed tree bushes were blooming with flowers of a wonderfully warm yellow hue.
