| Santiago and the surrounding cities have a lot something that you hardly find anywhere else these days: funicular railways. When we first arrived, I looked up "funicular" in the Spanish-English dictionary, since I'd never heard of them. It read: "funicular". But once we boarded the pair of railway cars tethered by a cable, whereby one goes up as the othe comes down, it was obviously named after "funicula", which is Latin for "hauling one's lazy ass". We played some camera tricks here, making the track seem flat, when in fact it was about a 20-25 degree climb. |
