If a stranger asks me what are the most entertaining and distinctive Santiago, would answer that at first glance seem a boring and ugly, but not so! There are many places to entertain.
In Santiago there are always many things to be done for different types of people. No doubt you should visit the center of Santiago, the old buildings as "La Moneda", the "Casa Colorada" and the Cathedral. Also walk around the Plaza de Armas and the Paseo Ahumada, as they are in these places where the daily life of Chile.
Among my favorite places in the city are:
- Museum of Bellas Artes and Parque Forestal: This museum has the oldest collections of paintings in the country, and that depict the various eras that have lived here in Chile. The museum is located in one of the most beautiful parks in Santiago, where one can lie on the grass to enjoy the summer.
- Parque Quinta Normal: This is another park in the city of Santiago that has museums of various kinds, and also a lagoon where you can browse. It is perfect for enjoying a sunny spring afternoon.
- Cajon del Maipo: Although this place is not proper in Santiago, this valley is only minutes from the city and can make beautiful walks surrounded by nature. You can visit hot springs, horseback riding, camping, etc.
- El Arrayan: Tourist site that offers people the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and interact with plants and animals typical of the mountainous area of the metropolitan region. In this place you can fish, picnic, biking, etc..
- Cerro San Cristobal and Barrio Bellavista: The Cerro San Cristobal is located in the middle of the city and can do activities such as sports, going to the zoo, visiting the Japanese Park, etc. And at the end of the day you can go to the various night clubs of Bellavista, a drink and dance until dawn.
In this way, you can enjoy the city of Santiago in very different ways, connecting with nature as well as living the urban life.
