8 days in Santiago Itinerary

Santiago tourism thrives largely thanks to the city's big selection of cultural and entertainment options, including museums, theaters, restaurants, bars, and giant malls.

Get out of town with these interesting Santiago side-trips: River Rafting & Tubing (in San Jose de Maipo), Corporacion Museo de Arqueologia e Historia Francisco Fonck (in Vina del Mar) and Concha y Toro (in Pirque). And it doesn't end there: walk around Cerro Santa Lucia, take in the pleasant sights at Plaza de Armas, take some stellar pictures from San Cristóbal Hill, and take an in-depth tour of Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos.

To see other places to visit, where to stay, more things to do, and other tourist information, use the Santiago road trip site.

If you are flying in from Brazil, the closest major aiport is Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport.
