9 days in Santiago Itinerary

Santiago tourism thrives largely thanks to the city's big selection of cultural and entertainment options, including museums, theaters, restaurants, bars, and giant malls.

Get out of town with these interesting Santiago side-trips: Concha y Toro (in Pirque), Vina del Mar (Corporacion Museo de Arqueologia e Historia Francisco Fonck & Flower Clock (Reloj de Flores)) and River Rafting & Tubing (in San Jose de Maipo). Saddle up on the 29th (Thu) and explore with a tour on horseback. There's much more to do: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at San Cristóbal Hill, get engrossed in the history at Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos, see the interesting displays at La Sebastiana, and stop by Patio Bellavista.
