Right. It looks like the reason that you (Gaston) installed the
surround plugin in ~/.vim/bundle is that you were following the
installation instructions on the plugin's github page. Those
instructions recommend using pathogen.vim.

~/.vim/bundle is not automatically included in 'runtimepath' and Vim
does not automatically search it because it is a subdirectory of
~/.vim. Vim automatically searches some subdirectories of ~/.vim,
but not ~/.vim/bundle. Vim searches ~/.vim/bundle only because the
pathogen plugin tells it to. You will need to install and configure
the pathogen plugin for Vim to find any plugin installed under
~/.vim/bundle.

Gary
