a nice break after climbing the cerroby Yahoo | 2008-05-27 02:42:38 |

this garden is on the way down from the virgin of the cerro san cristobal (assuming you walk). there is also a teleferico stop nearby. it has types of plants from all the regions of chile and they are labeled. its pretty interesting and educational, and if you hiked up the cerro, its a nice place to sit and take a break. i rated it a four on value, because if you walk, its free! but i think the teleferico is really expensive (in my opinion).
