So many things to do at Cerro San Cristobal (otherwise known as Parque Metrolpolitana). http://www.parquemet.cl/ We live in Santiago as expats, but I go up Cerro San C all the time. First place I take visitors to. In summer, the pools are awesome, great views. The skyrail is great (just don't look at the dodgy workmanship!) Lots of cool restaurants.... more

This is fun sight to visit in Santiago. In a city of this size and diversity, there are many ways to spend your visit, this is one. We are glad we went, but probably won't go again unless the skies are clear so we can see the Andes. We took the tram to the top of the hill and the... more

We had the pleasure of being driven up Cerro San Cristóbal. What a panoramic view! I had no idea the breadth of Santiago. And, of course, the majestic Chilean Andes mountains.

We went to this sight on a Sunday afternoon. A couple we met advised us to go up the funicular and down the cable car to avoid long lines on busy Sundays. At the top of the funicular we stopped at the awninged restaurant for a glass of wine which turned into a bottle and tapas. We sat and enjoyed... more

Visited this park on a free Sunday in Santiago. It is a great expereince with fantastic views across the city. There is no need for exertion as cable cars take you up one side of the hill and the funicular taking you down the other. But if you want to walk or cycle you can. There is also a good... more

This is a great first stop in Santiago. If you are religious, the site will have special meaning, but if not, the views are amazing and definitely worth the trip. Ride the funicular up the hill for a true local experience and an amazing view on the way up. When you get off the funicular, be sure to go off... more
