Sesion 5: Where to go/What to do in Santiago

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

I love Santiago, despite the polution, the traffic, the sometime angry people that travel in the subway, I think Santiago is a really good place, but not exactly the best place for a tour. Still, there's some great places that you MUST visit if you come here. Here is my personal choice (in no particular order):

1. La Piojera: because is the real, one and only place to drink an "earthquake", and also enjoy of something especial in the air, and I don't mean cigarrette or alcohol, but something of a traditional flavor, that comes from the typical and ancient life of Santiago.


2. The Metropolitan Park: Is the best place to walk, and gives you the chance to see Santiago in a panoramic view. You can also visit the zoo, watch the image of the virgin mary and take the cableway that is so much fun.



3. The Barrio Brasil: because of its unique, beautiful and classic architecture.


4. The Ahumada walk: If you like crowdy places, that's is the place to go, because it can lead you to fantastic places, because is in the center of the city, but I don't recommend it to stay there very longer, just pass by.


5. Fantasilandia: Is the best amusement park in Chile, by far, even tough it's not even close to others in the rest of the world, but I really like it, it's a great place to hang out for an entire day.
