Default Barrio in santiago.

does anyone know if there is a barrio called "la america palma" or "la palma america" in santiago.

my friend's dad lives here in STI and recently "lost" her father. he's got alzheimers and, apparently, a wicked wife (that's the opinion of a jaded stepdaughter, so...) and his cell phone has recently been disconnected. unfortunately the address she has for him is in this supposed barrio.

i know there is "las americas" and another called "las palmas" but not sure if there is a combo of the two. anyone know?

It is not behind Caribe Tours, you need to entry by ( Dominos pizza ) Calle F of Las Palmas them turn on right on Calle G and you will be going toward Hospital de la diabetes.

thanks chola, but i'm pretty good at getting around in santiago and have some people who work in the area. i'm actually looking for my friend's dad, if you're good at investigating, i'm open to help. it's a pretty desperate situation i just hope i can find him. i've got an address but we're not sure he still lives there.

hi friends. just wanted to let you know i found him. it was easy because he is still living at the address that i had for him. he's a bit senile and his wife was a bit of a wench, but it worked out. and we got him in touch with the daughter. thanks for all of your help!
