Borrow Hiking Pole(s) While in Santiago?

[KJFSophie]

For many years I've left my hiking poles behind in Santiago ( at times at the old pilgrim's office, at time at Pilgrim House ) rather than fighting for them at the airports going home. I don't want to bring poles with me this trip, but my volunteer accommodations are up steep hills ( of course...lol ) and I feel I may need some support with that. Is anyone aware of places that take poles where I might borrow for a few weeks, then gladly return with a smile?

You can pick up poles at Pilgrim House and return them when you are done with them.

I've just messaged them to see if this option is still available.

It was as of December!

Another option could be the Hospedería Vía Lucis PR, where I've stayed a couple of times. They have a 'pole bin' at reception, so you could ask to take a pole from it and return it later. But Pilgrim House is more central so if they offer this service, you might as well do it there.

Come on by when you're in town! We have so many.

Last week, they had a whole container of them available upstairs.
