same time, Santiago maintains
a “New York” feel with amazing skyscrapers and
high-rise condominiums. Head downtown to see large billboards
and eat at outdoor cafes lined around plazas. Take a bus ride
and fend off all the vendors and peddlers preying on every
tourist or ride the subway for a little more peace and quiet.
Originally built over years of floods, earthquakes and wars,
Santiago is now one of the largest metropolitan cities in
South America. It is the capital of Chile and remains its
industrial and commercial center. It has a growing population
of over 5 million with all the traffic and smog a big city
produces. Yet despite all this, Santiago still has the cultural
beauty you will enjoy.
