A modern and prosperous city, Santiago de Chile is situated at an elevation of 520 metres with a spectacular backdrop of the snow-capped peaks of the Andes.

Chile's capital, it is one of Latin America’s most sophisticated metropolitan areas with extensive suburbs, beautiful parks, shopping malls, impressive high-rise architecture, excellent museums, churches and universities. The city’s unique location means that it is possible to go ski-ing in the morning and visit the beach resort of Vina del Mar or picturesque Valparaiso in the afternoon!

Santiago's historic downtown district includes some beautiful colonial buildings and the traditional neighbourhoods have avenues lined with graceful family mansions.
