Santiago, la próspera capital de Chile, une lo mejor de la vida urbana moderna con una posición geográfica privilegiada entre las montañas de los Andes y el Océano Pacífico. Mezclado en el crisol de la arquitectura colonial y el estilo latino, Santiago destaca como Bellavista, atestado de arte callejero y bares elegantes; Cerro San Cristóbal (Cerro San Cristóbal); Plaza de Armas; y Mercado Central (Mercado Central) encabezan la lista para la mayoría de los viajeros, y son fáciles de marcar, y más, en un recorrido turístico con paradas libres. A solo 1,5 horas al oeste de Santiago, Valparaíso es una ciudad portuaria declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO con un barrio histórico lleno de callejones sinuosos; casas de colores; y funiculares (teleféricos) del siglo XIX, que te llevan a los cerros Concepción y Alegre. La vecina Viña del Mar, o la Ciudad Jardín, cuenta con hermosos parques y arquitectura histórica; visite ambos en un día en una excursión de un día desde Santiago. Y ninguna visita a Santiago está completa sin un paseo por sus valles. El Valle del Maipo, o El Cajón del Maipo, es un hermoso lugar natural para acampar, hacer caminatas y una variedad de deportes. Tan impresionante como el desfiladero es su variedad de famosas bodegas: los viñedos y bodegas de la bodega Concha y Toro, la bodega Santa Rita y la bodega Undurraga ofrecen recorridos de degustación de vinos.
Chile’s capital is at its brightest and boldest during September's Fiesta Patria, when traffic halts, offices close, and streets fill with makeshift shacks fitted with dance floors and open barbecues. Alternatively, the springtime months of October and November guarantee plenty of cool and sunny days that prove perfect for exploring.

The city offers the diversions of a modern metropolis with the bonus of nature on its doorstep. Here you’ll find top-flight museums and restaurants, plus diverse neighborhoods, each with its own character.
