Chile, Santiago, my Chilean family
Hostal Casa Matte
Adress, Ricardo matte perez 0320, providencia
If you are going to Santiago with or without bike this is the place to go. I had a really good time here. They have got parking, nice showers, WiFi, a store that is near and it's cheap. What more can you ask for?
They are like family for me now and I will definitely go back there later on my trip.

I feel the same as the original message. I've spent maybe 2 months on and off at Casa Matte and can't recommend it enough as a place to stay. Christian and Francisca are fantastic hosts and great fun. It's like a big home, not a hostal. Big terrace upstairs too with a view to the mountains.
I had problems with my KLR when I first arrived so it helped immensely meeting Christian and the other bikers staying there too as they knew who to see and where to go for parts, aduana/customs, etc.
I'll be back there when I return. Not only because I've left my bike with them whilst I left Chile...

Will be leaving my 'home' in Santiago again tomorrow. Was here a few weeks ago on my way south.
As above, THE place to stay in Santiago. Great atmosphere, place to work on your bike, nice rooms and always a hot shower, great roof terrace to watch the sun sets, close to shops/supermarket/restaurants.
Lira St is a short ride away to get your Moto goodies. Christian & Francesca are great hosts. If you need some work doing on your bike, Christian will know a man who can.
You can find them on Facebook or in iOverlander or hostalcasamatte@gmail.com
Nick.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
