Insider Tips
- Take the funicular up Cerro San Cristóbal for the city + Andes panorama
- Day-trip to Valparaíso for hilltop street art and a working port city completely unlike Santiago
- Wine country (Maipo, Casablanca, Colchagua) is 1-2 hours away — book a half-day tour
- Bellavista is best for nightlife; Lastarria for cafés and bookshops
