Although Santiago is not often the first city that comes to mind when talking about a Latin American metropolis, its subdued charm and quiet chic certainly deserve to be in the same category as Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro. It’s this ambience along with the perfect blend of old meets new which makes the capital city so enticing.
The two geographical landmarks which characterise this city are the majestic wall of the Andes to the west and the two arms of the Mapocho River which encompass the city centre. Santiago is a metropolis on the edge of a vast natural wilderness, which means there are endless things to do, see and experience.
