Funicular and Zoo in Santiago

Back again with Tuesdays adventures 😀😀 Walked again back to ride Funicular http://funicularsantiago.cl/ more info in Spanish lol


One heading way up the hill

Standing room only on this and I was a little nervous but a piece of cake for Paul

Up we go 

Off and looking towards where it ended 

Smog view all around 

So many buildings 


The Andes so hard to see 

Anyway lots of walking up here 

I will let you read if you can the signs along the way up 






Did I mention STAIRS 

Luckily there were some ramps 

View out and down show that river way down 





And proof I got to the top under Mary 

Cable cars we did not go on 😂😂


Waiting to return back down

A black kitty 

On board for return 

Kitty refused to face the camera lol

Next up a walk back up to the zoo......

A lizard I zoomed in on near elephants 


Lovely Meerkats 



Loved seeing these 




So many turtles 



Caught the giraffe eating 





Hiding of course 

My Ray has a kitty a bit like this lol



Lovely white tiger walking away....typical 😂😂


But that zoom caught the face perfectly.....Teresa this camera is awesome xoxo







Oh yes Kangaroolol


Massive 


One chimp had a dolls leg.....you can just see the white on top of head 



Busy grooming.....we walked for ages but enjoyed 

A lunch Mexican sampler we shared 

Paul enjoyed and happy because red wine 😁😁

A few statues in this and next photos....covered in graffiti and fabric due to the civil unrest here 


Is impressive if you can ignore all the paint.....


Our walk back to hotel is like this....actually late yesterday huge demonstrations were taking place further in town at popular area.......police squirt water from vans to move everyone on.....
Today we move to Valparaiso.....wish us luck xoxoxo

  1. I'm glad you got that camera as it's got such a good zoom! I loved all the animals and there were some I've never heard of. I'm worrying about you traveling with the Corona virus spreading to all 8 continents! Have fun and don't wear yourself out! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  2. Dear Wendy, your’s and Paul’s experience of the Funicular and Zoo in Santiago seems to have been filled with not only status and monuments but also with some very unique animals and birds. Highly appreciate your efforts in sharing with us this momentous experience and I should every picture spoke for itself. The view from the top was incredible. Thank you.
