tourist in santiago

So everything depends of what do you wont to do because Santiago is full of extractives and activities. If you want to know the city you have to go to the historical center and have a walk knowing places like la moneda, plaza de armas, the national history museum, santa lucia hill and it´s market, the mapocho station and of course the Mercado central when you could eat a lot of traditional dishes like sea food or empanadas. Others neighborhoods that you should go are the brasil and providencia because both of them are very representative of some aspects in the daily life in Santiago and you could buy hand made products typically of Chile. You don’t have to forget the San Cristobal hill and have a mote con huesillos. If you take a bus and travel less than an hour you can get to el cajon del maipo that is a place located in the middle of the cordillera de los Andes and cross by a river and it has a wonderful landscape and also you can go to skis centers like colorado or portillo.
So my top five for you are, go to the Mercado and eat a mariscal it’s a meal that you would never forget, get to the top of the san Cristobal hill by foot and then have a mote con huesillos, go to barrio yungai and learn to dance cueca that is our national dance if you have the chance of going to a concert of Chilean music don’t lose it, and finally try to visit the cajon del maipo is a magic place surrender by nature.
