Santiago Trips & Tours
Santiago
There aren’t many places in the world that can lay claim to balmy winters, summer skiing, alfresco jazz festivals and museum-hopping all in one go, but Santiago is one of them. Chile’s capital is culturally captivating and energetically glamorous yet still small enough to feel like home for a few days. And stay for those few days you must, for this is a city on the cusp of something wonderful. Let the eclectic neighbourhoods rule your wanderings: artier-than-thou Lastarria for strolling alongside museums and galleries, Bellavista for sidewalk eateries and hole-in-the-wall bars, and Barrio Italia for fabulous shopping. Sights-wise, even locals will tell you to visit the former home of poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda, before ascending Cerros Santa Lucia for a 360-degree view of the city. Come night-time, you’ll realise just how seriously Santiago takes its food (and partying) and the gastronomic scene is alive and buzzing whether you choose a best-in-the-world restaurant or street market. Unless you want to eat alone, don’t book a table until after 9pm – plenty of time to enjoy a pisco as the sun goes down and ponder your next Chilean move…

Santiago is a city surrounded natural beauty and filled with the history of Spanish rule. Begin your wanderings in the Plaza de Armas, branching out to visit Santiago's many museums, ornate churches, and the bustling Mercado Central. The city also has a thriving arts scene to discover and the bohemian neighbourhoods are full of fantastical street theatre performances and quirky galleries. For the best views of the city, ride the cable car to the top of San Cristobal Hill, or climb the historic Cerros Santa Lucia. Then there's the food, which ranges from fabulous fine dining to hole-in-the-wall gems, and the skiing, which, if you time it right, is some of the best in the Southern Hemisphere.
Architecturally fascinating with a madhouse nightlife, flea markets and boutique shops, live jazz and street theatre, museums, galleries, leafy parks, some of the best restaurants in the world and more than a little intrigue – what’s not to love?
Head east from the city to the Andes for a spot of summer skiing in the Southern Hemisphere’s finest ski resort, Portillo. Set against a towering mountain-scape, it’s incredible – and even heli-skiing can be arranged.
The infamous Santiago smog is at its worst during the winter months of May to September, but during summer (roughly November to March), the city tends to be hot, dry and lovely.
