The Cerro San Cristobal is deceptively higher than it looks from below, the views across Santiago to the Andes is spectacular. There is a cheap cable car available or a funicular railway, take your choice. Choose as clear a day as possible, the smog will dictate how far you can see…

Great gathering green space for people. We took the funicular up and did a circuit with the cable car (teleferico) and then took the funicular down.

There are merchandise and food vendors in this area also. Other things to do include a zoo, botanical gardens, wooden playground equipment, and swimming pools.…

This is a great walk and gives some good views of the city. It took us about 90 minutes to walk from the river to the top of the hill and about 30 minutes to walk down. Highly recommended.
