Hello,
Some friends and I are headed to Santiago over the US Thanksgiving holiday. We'll be staying in the Bella Vista area of Santiago. I've seen the forecast that shows highs in the mid 80's and sunny and dry with lows in the low 50's.
That's a pretty big temperature drop. What do you recommend to wear in the evenings to dinner and being out and about? Is it really that cold in the summer?
Thanks
John
There is a fair difference in temperature but it is nice to have the evening cool off after a hot day. Usually a light jacket or sweater is enough in the evening. The low temperature usually occurs around dawn, so it is usually very pleasant around dinner time.
The best murals in Santiago de Chile will be found in Barrio Bellavista, a quarter that is close to the place, where the funicular to Cerro San Cristobal starts and when you take a walk from the citycentre to the funicular you will pass by plenty of them, the best ones are shown in these photographs but there are still a lot more.
This is the small chapel on top of Cerro San Cristobal, it does not look very impressive from outside but inside it has some nice details like these sculptured frescos and the giant sea-shell tohold the sacered water at the entrance of the chapel.
the chapel is open during the day, photography is no problem.
A great way to get a good look at the hills of Valaparaiso is to hop on the green "O" bus and ride it all the way to the end of the route at Vina del Mar and back into town. It costs next to nothing and takes you for miles all around the city, way away from the centre.
It's well known for tourists to come to this two small streets. They are packed with bars, restaurant and nightclubs. International food, clubing (not as good as some other places) and lot of tourists.
The Santa Lucia Hill in the city center is an important historic landmark. It was here, at the foot of this hill formerly known as the "Huelen", that the Spanish Conquistador Pedro de Valdivia founded the city of Santiago on February 12th, 1541. He planned the city according to the traditional Spanish checkerboard layout which is still evident in the downtown area today.
Try going in the morning, as it can get dangerous when the sun goes down.
