Nicely located "park" in the heart of Santiago. Great views of the city. Hope you catch a clear day...smog could be annoying. Wear some comfortable shoes and head-up to enjoy the scenery!

Riding the gondola to the top of Cerro San Cristobal gave great views of the neighborhoods surrounding the area. The art and statute at the top were fun to see.

It is inexpensive to take the cable car and I very much recommend it! With this you're able to see quite a lot of the city, la cordillera, and more! Very relaxing. I would recommend as a Santiago staple.

We took a bus up and the cable car down. The cable car journey was much more fun and allowed one to take better photos of the city and the gardens.
The walk at the top of the hill was pleasant and the view spectacular. Unfortunately it was quite smoggy the day we went up so there wasn't a good view of the mountains.
All in all a worthwhile visit.

Well worth the long, hot walk up, for the 360 view of Santiago. Avoid the tacky cafe at the top, other than for a cold drink!

This is a great place to see all of Santiago! The buses and gondola make a pretty easy trip! There are a number of different park areas with good views. A must do stop to get a good feel for the city of Santiago!

Walk up if you've got the energy, or use the cable cars, or minibuses. Whatever - the views are amazing. Probably best in late afternoon or evening.

I really enjoyed the cable car ride (the funicular is currently closed by the way). The views are great and the church up there is really cool. Lots of good fun.

Se puede subir en auto ya que tengo problemas en mis rodillas o ir con mis abuelos en auto se puede?

Hola. Así es , se puede subir en vehículo hasta la cumbre. Importante es , por el asunto de la pandemia y la cuarentena total que rige sobre Santiago, consultar si está abierto el acceso a público general.

Why does it say it is only open 2 days a week when it was open Saturday only found it open when I went to the zoo you need to update your hours

When we were there the opening hours had been changed significantly following the protests in Santiago. We had to ask when it would be open, and at the time it was only at weekends, or if there were any public holidays. Appreciate that this was a couple of months ago, and things might have changed.
Estou organizando minha viagem e gostaria de conhecer o cerro SAN Cristóbal, gostaria de subir na pio nono e descer na oásis na compra do ticket* eu tenho essa opção? Ou não tem definição? Eu posso estar comprando e subir de funicular e descer pelo teleférico com o msm bilhete ?

Comprei o ticket que dava direito a subir de funicular e descer de teleférico! Aproveitei esse dia e fui a pé para o sky Costanera!

Boa tarde! Minha mãe tem dificuldade em subir muitas escadas e sei que indo de funicular, são inúmeros lances até a igrejinha e a estátua. Gostaria de saber se a estação do teleférico é mais acima, ou se também há muitos lances de escada até a igreja. Obrigada.

Olá.
Sabem se no feriado da independência(17/18 de Setembro) vai abrir?
Rafael G

Olá, não posso afirmar com 100% de certeza, mas como se trata do feriado das festas Patrias que é considerado ”Irrenunciable” creio que não estará aberto. Durante este tipo de feriado, praticamente nenhum comércio ou estabelecimento abre, para permitir à população chilena se dedicar às festas de rua, com danças típicas, paradas militares, churrasco nas ruas, etc. Se vc for ficar mais dias em Santiago, fora dos feriados, aproveite para visitar o Cerro antes ou depois, para garantir.
