The 3 guides of Santiago of Chile have as end to support you in your visit to the city of Santiago of Chile; whether for tourist motives or of work.

My interest is to orient you of the best possible form so that your stopover in Santiagopresent no misfortune and on the contrary, be very pleasant.

To achieve this, I reckon that is very necessary that have the best possible information.Me do not I refer to quantity; but to quality. In this way you can take better decisions andto take advantage of better your time, that generally is very scarce.

On the Internet there are many places on Chile. Each hotel has its place, each restaurant,each business of services, etc, and all they report you the good thing that are, that arevery well located, that the service is extraordinary and a lot more.

I carry more than 22 years living and working in Santiago.

I know the best form to be mobilized, the most important places to visit, where to be goingto eat well, where to be going to buy, what to do and what not to do.

In these guides, a description of each place is included, telephones, website, hourly, pricesof reference, photos of the place so that get an idea of how is.

I am sure that these guides will be you of great support, so much before travelling, so thatplan your stopover, as when already be in Santiago.

General information

The capital of Chile is raised like one of the most recommended cities for tourism and tripsof conventions and business in South America, with modern installations, technology of tip,accommodations of quality, hotels and centers of conventions and businesses with a lot of experience in the industry of the events.

The history, the art and the civic tradition unfold in their museums, art galleries and craftcenters. In this capital, as in Valparaso and Black Island (both to a little more than 100km.) can have an emotional approach to the life and work of Pable Neruda, Nobel Prize of Literature, in its houses museums.

Santiago is starting point of national and international flights, besides being center at theoutset by highways toward the north and south of the country and diverse places insidethe Central Valley, that go since the mountain range to the coast, passing for lands thatharbor fertile fields with sown agricultural and parronales of vineyards where emerges theproduction of the Chilean wine.

On the outskirts of Santiago is to participate in a tour of the wine, and even to concur toone of the famous vineyards that are in the margins of the city and to visit the Drawer of the Maipo or Pomaire. The first one, place of mountains and of relaxation to pass theweekend or even the day, and Pomaire, place famous for their pottery in clay and their typical gastronomy as patties or cake of clog. A great alternative is also a tour byValparaso and Vineyard of the Sea, visiting to half a road a vineyard of the Valley of Casablanca.

Strange and family. This mixed sensation will have without lack, when feels in the paradeground, the main plaza of Santiago of Chile, and leave to wander the view around him.Strange, for example, is that here in the south hemisphere, the stations of the year areupside down. Maybe it left in the middle of the gray European autumn and now is found inthe most radiant spring. At noon, the sun is in the north but already is capable of heatinghim reliably.

The environment recalls to Europe: Spanish arcades, palaces amononados, in the corner

a modern building of crystal and mirrors next to the neon-classicist cathedral. Relativealso the aspect of the people: Typical latin American? Not, false alarm. The of Santiagothey seem not very different of the inhabitants of Frankfurt, Rome or London: yuppieshurried in suits of design, school girls that laugh to laughter, office workers in their grayuniform, women managers stepping strong and with the cell one hit to the ear.

In the plaza, you are in the eye of the hurricane: while two blocks beyond reign the activityof the metropolises, here the people falls in the account to wander, sight by the shouldersof the chess players or listens to a string quartet. The clich of a chaotic Latin-Americanmetropolises turns out to be false, here all happens tranquil and civilized. There are notbeggars that ask him, neither cabdrivers that touch him the horn, at most a traveling

salesman tries him with his cheap costume jewelry. Neither him more minimum of theextroverted temperament that for example he characterizes the Argentines. Probably, inthe principle he will not understand a lot when the Chileans speak him although believesthat knows Spaniard: Here he is found the teachers of the to speak fast and to be eatensyllables.

Nevertheless, he will enter followed in conversation with his neighbor of bank that isreading the newspaper or with the salesperson that he results to be a student of philosophy and suddenly, all he changes. The Chileans do not beg anyone but yes theyare curious and interested in the visitor of Europe. "From where do you come, wherego?" and "You like Chile?" are always the first questions. And then it so happens that thebrother-in-law of an aunt had lived in Barcelona as you, and suddenly you are a friend andthey invite to a roast for Sunday. During its trip, will enjoy again from this hospitality of theChileans.

Foreign non-residents that pay in effective dollars or credit card are exempt of payment of tax 19%.

It more it consumed by the clients is thecoffee Express and the Cut coffee (coffee with a little milk with foam). Along with thecoffee they serve you a glass of soda or mineral water. The typical thing is to accompanythe coffee with a good cigarette. In this category we have to the chains of coffees Haitiand Caribbean.

Typical coffee with legs. It attended by beautiful women from 20 to 26 years, with verygood physicist, good deal, good level of education, in many cases they work and theystudy. The localities are found in galleries of the center, with dark glasses; therefore, sinceoutside themselves nothing can be seen. Many of them have television with gigantic flatscreens where they exhibit musical recitals or they have modern background music. It canconverse themselves with the girls that attend. In some coffees they request you aconsumption for them, which right gives you to converse more personalized way.
