Plaza de las Armas square in Santiago, Chile
Skiing on a winter morning and experiencing a beautiful sunset on the Pacific beach in the evening?
In Chile this is possible.
Surrounded by the Andes, the metropolis of Santiago is one of the few cities in the world from where you can take a trip to snow-capped mountains in the morning and already walk on the beach promenade in the afternoon after about only 2 hours by car.
Wine lovers will appreciate the proximity of award-winning wineries. Just a few kilometres from Santiago, the Maipo and Casablanca valleys are the starting points for the most important wine routes in central Chile, where you can enjoy the country’s best wines at the foot of the Andes.
With these unique features, Santiago de Chile made it to 9th place on Forbes magazine’s list of the best destinations in Latin America in 2021.
In addition to tourism innovation and connectivity, the selection of cities also took into account factors of the “new reality” due to the pandemic and whether there are special health protocols in place at the destination.
Forbes describes Santiago as a multifaceted Chilean capital that invites both active excursions and delightful moments.
