Santiago and the surrounding areas by pedmar
in addition to the already mention tools, my favorites are Viña del Mar, Valparaiso, Santiago and the Andes mountains east of Santiago,with wine visits like Concha y Toro winery.In Valparaiso, climb the funecular to the hill for great resto and magnificent views of the bay, at Viña you can see the beach and the amphitheatre where they held one of the biggest spanish language music festival every year. all are lovely towns,and great connections by bus from Santiago main bus terminal.a trip up the Andes mountain forgot the exact name but we went with some local Chilian friends to see spas up in the mountain with the water temp stay at around 25C all year and ate some wonderful german origin foods. The restaurant ocean pacific in Santiago all dress up like an aquarium was a fantastic culinerary experience.
