Santiago Stopover: Framed by snow-capped Andean peaks, Santiago is a mixture of big-business high rise towers and arty bohemian enclaves. Take the cablecar up to the giant statue of the Virgin Mary at the top of Cerro San Cristobal and then head down on the 1930s funicular. For other great views, climb the stairs to the top of Santa Lucia's lovely park. Story by Lee Mylne
