馃弳 The must-see Places

Santiago de Chile is, in my opinion, one of the world's most beautiful and interesting places to visit. The big city surrounded by the Andes which summit is always capped with white snow offers a great view no matter your location in the city.

Place
San Crist贸bal Hill
Eline:San Cristobal Hill is part of the Metropolitan Park, an immense green area which can be reached either by Funicular or by hiking/cycling. If you think you are fit enough, I would recommend the 45 min walk up to the top to enjoy the complete view of the city. Located only some minutes, by tube, from the city centre. The closest station is Baquedano, but you can also come from Pedro de Valdivia Station.
