Bus Trip to Santiago through the Andes

The bus trip from Buenos Aires to Santiago was advertised as 18 hours... it took us 23 to get there.  But the day-long bus trip totally paid off when we arrived at the Andes, the views were just amazing.

The Andes

We were "re" jealous of all the skiers and ski slopes we passed.  After an hour stop at the border control we arrived in Chile.  Going down the other side of the mountains, we took a road that had 29 curves.
