Descripción del sitio
The pair arrived in Santiago de Chile on March 1, 1952. Here, the two take part in obscure jobs to pay for "part of the trip with the sweat of [their] brows"(66).
Guevara then proceeds to depict the design and atmosphere of the city saying that the city reminds him of Córdoba, his home town.
"Santiago has more or less the same feel as Córdoba. Though its daily pace is much faster and its traffic considerably heavier, its buildings, the nature of its streets, its weather and even the faces of its people, reminded us of our own Mediterranean city"(66).
