Introduction

You will immediately notice that Chile’s capital has a very European feel to it. Santiago’s historic architecture competes for the skyline alongside modern-day skyscrapers. Although Santiago may not have the striking qualities of Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, it quickly proves itself to be a pleasant and entertaining city.

With over 5 million inhabitants - Santiago contains 40% of Chile’s population - it is the financial, cultural and educational core of the country. Its worth is often dismissed because of problems with smog pollution which lingers above the city (winter only) - mainly due to the fact that the city is crowded with vehicles and surrounded on all sides by mountains.

There is a smart and efficient metro system which is a convenient and cheap way of getting around town. The city also has two racecourses, which are normally open at weekends.

Wines

Already famous for World class wines, the Chilean capital, Santiago is fast becoming known for great cuisine. The districts of Bella Vista and Providencia are known for gourmet cuisine and characterful restaurants; some of which, so popular, they have a waiting list for reservations.

Along with a booming cafe culture and newly built hotels, Santiago is certainly overcoming the effects of the earthquake in a positive manner and being reborn as a thriving city for business and leisure visitors alike.

Rose Hill

Chile was made for lovers of the outdoors and wonderful natural scenery. Very few countries can offer deserts, volcanoes, glaciers, snow capped mountains and emerald-green lakes. Away from these places, I feel very privileged to have also travelled to two of Chile’s extremities - Cape Horn and Easter Island; contrasting destinations but equally special.
