Santiago (from Valparaiso)
From Valparaiso, dicover Santiago with its fascinating blend of old colonial buildings and bustling new expansion. The people are welcoming, the parks are beautiful and there are plenty of cafes and bars where you can sample fine Chilean wines or a tasty 'empanada'. Take the funicular railway up to the summit of San Cristobal hill where a large white statue of the Virgin Mary watches over the city. On a clear day you'll enjoy magnificent views of the city and the snow-capped peak of the Andes.» Back to
