This was a panoramic view of the two cities. No time in Santiago to view much. Tour guide was proficient. It seems this tour was about visiting chocolate, ceramic and cigar factories. Would have enjoyed more city less factory.

It was a great tour that I would highly recommend. The La Aurora Cigar factory tour was awesome! I think the best part of the tour. Wish we could have spent a little more time in Santiago. You really can't enjoy the waterfall, it is more of walk down a series of suspension bridges and a look at the waterfall for pictures It's not for swimming. Overall though the trip was great and does take a full day but worth it.

This is another long trip but worth it, although the waterfall is not as grand as picture shows. the hike to get to it is a little bit of a workout also for older people.
