Patagonia to Santiago, Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Time Lapse Video from our window this morning.

Today is a travel day.  We packed up and left the lovely Hotel Tierra Patagonia, driving 5 hours back to Punta Arenas to catch our 3 hour flight to Santiago, Chile. 

Before we go, I should show you a few photos of this interesting hotel.
  

Blending in with the natural surroundings is the theme here.

The "bunker like" look unexpectedly opens into a luxurious hotel.

The unassuming entrance adds mystery to what's beyond the doors.

Local materials are used to blend the construction in with nature.  Check out the logs used for door pulls.

Stacked firewood creates an interesting outside wall.

The hotel almost disappears into the hillside.

Awarded National Geographic's "Unique Lodges of the World" award for it's natural look.

We've arrived in Santiago.  More tomorrow.
