The capital of Chile is Santiago. It’s a modern, lively city sitting in a valley surrounded by the snow-capped Andes mountains. Santiago is Chile’s political, economic, and cultural hub, full of museums, parks, and trendy neighborhoods. You can walk through the historic downtown, then head up San Cristóbal Hill for great city views. The city has a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters. Its food and wine scene is world-class, and the nearby vineyards make for perfect day trips. Santiago blends city life with nature better than almost any capital in South America.
