What to see in Santiago

Santiago is a lively and multi-layered city, the capital of Chile with a rich history, carefully preserving traces of the colonial era and the rapid rhythm of modernity. Founded by Pedro de Valdivia in the sixteenth century, the city grows under the majestic Andes: it combines historical squares and cathedrals, modernist quarters and green slopes, and the streets are full of cultural energy and gastronomic discoveries.

Manufactures and facilities

Santiago’s man-made sights are astoundingly diverse: Plaza de Armas and the Cathedral of Santiago keep the spirit of the old city, close to the Presidential Palace of La Moneda and the National Library. Architecture and museum lovers will find interest in the Planetarium, the Museum of Fine Arts and cultural sites along Forestal Park. The modern side of the city is represented by Arauco Park and the Mall Florida Center, while the Mercado Central Market is a place to experience the local cuisine and atmosphere. The churches of San Vicente Ferrer and Sacred Hearts add religious and historical flavor, and Fort Boullénez recalls the country’s military past.

Natural attractions and places

The natural attractions and surroundings of Santiago attract far beyond the center: Mount San Cristobal and Santa Lucia give magnificent panoramas of the city, and Metropolitano Park is a favorite place for walking and outdoor activities. In the vicinity lie Maipo grape valleys with picturesque wineries, mountain passes and opportunities for day trips to the Andes, for example in Portillo. For those who are ready for further on, Patagonia’s national parks: Torres del Paine with Lakes Pechoe and Nordenskold, Salto Grande Falls, Milodon Cave, the islands of the Juan Fernandez archipelago and Robinson Island offer spectacular nature, glaciers, fjords and rich wildlife. Radal Ciete Tasas, Balmaceda Park and the Beagle Strait complete the list of natural pearls.
