Day 355 From Taltal to Santiago

📅 1ST July 2026 📍Santiago, Chile

Reaching Santiago

We left Taltal early in the morning, and our plan was to reach Santiago without making any stops other than charging at Copec stations. The Pan-American Highway follows the Pacific coast of Chile before reaching the capital, Santiago, where we held our presentation at a Volkswagen dealership.

After the presentation, we took advantage of the sunset to capture some beautiful shots from the mountain highway, especially of the financial district of Las Condes, with the sunlight reflecting off its skyline. At this point, we would like to thank our partner Copec for supporting us throughout Chile, and we hope that the mountain pass to Argentina will not be covered by snow the next day.
