What to do and where to go in Santiago de Chile





What to do and where to go in Santiago? That is the question when we arrive for the first time in San Borja or Los Héroes terminus. With the little time I have lived here, I would recommend visiting places like La Moneda, Fantasilandia, Huelén and San Cristóbal hills, to the Zoo and many other places which aren’t in a native city. Obviously, what a tourist should do in Santiago, depends on where is he or she comes from. If a tourist is from other Chile region, he or she should travel by Metro, go to La Moneda, Farellones or El Cajón del Maipo, etc. Also a tourist should go to the tomb of a recognized Chilean, etc. If it was up to me, I would take a tourist to:
• Parque O’higgins to show them where is the place of Military Parade and where “ramadas” and “fondas” are in September.
• Fantasilandia, a place where we can have amusement with mechanic games and we can distract our minds.
• Huelén Hill, a beautiful place full of nature and peace. The exact spot where Pedro de Valdivia and Inés de Suárez arrived to conquer Chile. Also it is possible to see a good part of Santiago from the top of the hill.
• La Piojera, a place where you can happily celebrate drinking “Terremotos” (Earthquake, a cold drink that erases you from he world for five minutes, it is made of wine, pine ice cream and grenadine) and where it is also possible to relax and forget problems. A very popular place.
• Universidad de Chile, a place full of knowledge and with a very important space in Chile History. Beyond of being the best Chile university, this is which helped to get Chile independency in many ways, giving it professionals to the country. The Andrés Bello house is not to give it up if we do not know Santiago de Chile.
