Chile Travel Review: Santiago, Atacama Desert, Torres del Paine, Punta Arenas

We would change the order of things slightly. When we flew to Santiago we would continue on directly to the Atacama desert, and begin our travels there. We would save Santiago and the surrounding areas for the end.

Our  last day flying home was too long.  We left Torres del Peine and had a 5 hour car drive. Then we had a 4 1/2 hour flight to Santiago from Puenta Arenas.  Then we had a 4 hour layover till our flight back home. That could have been avoided had we left Santiago for the end.
