I liked the details you out into the video. I am traveling to Chile tomorrow and then Argentina and this comes handy.Also, where to get online tickets from .do you have link?

Thank you. Good point, I have just added the links to get the tickets in the video description (the ones I did not include are the ones we bought at the entrance), hope it helps :) Also, videos from Argentina are coming very soon!

Awesome details. Tip about less people in December is perfect for me since I'm from Arizona and 90 degrees is winter here!

Thank you so much Jess, it means a lot!!

[@davidmarson9612]

Great video! I definitely gotta go here. What's the nightlife in san pedro? Any bars/clubs you can meet any local women?

[@RistyPics]

Thanks David. It's a very small town so don't expect much of a nightlife there, apart from travellers enjoying their night. Honestly, I didn't really get out much at night but that's what I would assume
