Be careful if you are driving around Santiago in the morning or evening rush hours because large roads such as Irrarazaval are made one way at these times, into town in the morning and out in the evening. Both parts of the dual carriageway are one way, so be careful not to find yourself facing a load of oncoming traffic.
Major thoroughfares in and out of the city centre
It's a classic old style bar/bistro/restaurant with a bit of style and little pretension. Quality food, and wine of course, it's smokey and well decorated, a picture of classical South American dining.
Liguria. Av. Providencia 1373.
Metro Tobalaba (North exit).
A couple of agencies in the main tourist/backpacker areas run bike trips down to Coroico. From a pass above La Paz (4800m altitude) the road passes through the mountains and into the tropical jungle for 60-odd km to the lovely village/town of Coroico (1800m altitude) You are on the bike with guides all the way. Bring sunglasses to protect against the dust, and strong wrists to keep the brakes locked on...it's an awesome experience.
