Information & Tips for Santiago de Chile
Santiago de Chile, the country’s capital nestled at the foot of the Andes, offers a mix of historic and modern attractions. Key sights include the panoramic Cerro San Cristóbal, the bustling Plaza de Armas, and the nearby vineyards in the Maipo Valley. The local currency is the Chilean peso (CLP), and while prices are moderate by global standards, Santiago can feel expensive compared to other South American cities—expect higher costs in dining and accommodation. The weather is Mediterranean: hot, dry summers (December–March) and mild, rainy winters (June–August), so pack accordingly.
