Santiago De Chile Tours

Santiago de Chile is a major metropolis that rests in a valley between the snow-capped Andes rising dramatically to the east and the coastal cordillera rolling gently to the west. Founded in 1541, the city pulses with the rhythms of both colonial and contemporary Chile. You will see ancient churches with weathered stone facades standing beside glass towers in the financial district, and street vendors selling sopaipillas in plazas where protests and celebrations have shaped the nation’s turbulent history. The air carries the scent of empanadas from corner bakeries while street musicians play cueca and cumbia along the sidewalks. On clear days, the Andes appear so close you could reach out and touch them, their peaks turning shades of pink and gold at sunset. Ride a funicular up San Cristóbal hill, where the white statue of the Virgin Mary watches over the sprawling metropolis below.
