The experience

I’ll be honest. I almost missed the meeting point at Parque Arauco because I got distracted by some street vendor selling candied nuts (the smell was ridiculous). But our guide, Carla, just grinned and waved me over. We piled into the van, and she made sure everyone was comfy before we started winding out of Santiago. The city faded fast, replaced by those jagged Andes peaks that always look closer than they really are. I didn’t expect the air to get so crisp so quickly. It’s like someone opened a fridge door as we climbed.

Curve 32 was our first real stop. Carla joked it’s where everyone’s phone memory fills up. She wasn’t wrong: people were scrambling for photos, but honestly I just stood there for a second trying to catch my breath (altitude or nerves, who knows). The snow on the slopes looked soft enough to eat. A couple of locals zipped past on their way up, shouting something cheerful in Spanish that I definitely didn’t catch. There was this weird hush between gusts of wind. You could hear your own boots crunching on gravel.

We kept going until Valle Nevado popped up out of nowhere: all ski lifts and sharp lines against the sky. Carla told us about how busy it gets in winter. Today it felt almost private. After that we rolled down to Farellones village for sunset. Someone handed around glasses of wine and a plate of cheese and olives (the cheese had this nutty thing going on, still thinking about it). The sun dropped behind the peaks and suddenly everything went pinkish-gold. People got quiet for a minute, which doesn’t happen often on group tours, you know? It felt kind of big, even though it was just us and a few locals waving from their porches.
