If you'd like to enjoy a good climb on your bike, then an easy downhill, then try the Cerro San Cristobal. There are 3 ways to start:
1. From La Piramide, in Las Condes, on Americo Vespucio Ave.
2. From Pedro de Valdivia Ave, just follow the street until you get to the bottom of the hill
3. From Pio Nono st, in Bellavista.
It's an easy climb, with lots of bikers on Saturdays and Sundays. I'd recommend going in the morning. It can get lonely during the evening (not recommendable).
If you want to go down not on the road, try going with someone who knows the path, otherwise you might end in the street down the hill.
Other good mbiking path is Huinganal in La Dehesa district and Santuario de la Naturaleza in Las Condes, close to the Andes.
Bring your bike, a good helmet, and if it's summer, lots of water. Leave a Comment Theme: BikingAddress: Parque Metropolitano

Rafting on the Cajon del Maipo was awesome fun. I have done it twice now and would recommend it. The rafting trip was about 12 kilometres long and took about an hour. Trips leave at 11am and 2pm.
Contact the owner Alexis direct on his cellphone. For bookings made and paid for 7 days in advance Alexis gives a 10% discount.
The cost is 15,700 pesos Monday to Saturday and 16,900 pesos on Sundays and holidays.
All the equipment is provided by the company. All you need to wear is your swim suit and some sturdy shoes (sneakers) although the company can supply those too. They give you a wetsuit, jacket, shorts, helmet and a paddle. Leave a Comment Theme: RaftingPhone: 08-950-77-99Directions: The rafting tour starts at the office located 8 kms from San Jose de Maipo in the town called Melocoton - 1.5 kms after the Toyo crossing. Alexis can pick you up from the Parque Los Heroes in San Jose de Maipo if you arrange this with him first.Website: www.aventurascajondelmaipo.cl

Santiago is the perfect place to base yourself if you are planning to include some skiing or snowboarding in your Chilean adventure. Three skiifields are located about an hour away from Santiago. They are Valle Nevado, La Parva and Colorado. There is another skiifield about 2 hours away called Portillo. Accommodation is available on the mountains however they usually require that you stay up there for 7 days.
As I was living in Santiago, I made day trips up the mountain using a local ski transportation company called Ski Total.
If you haven't brought your own gear you can rent it at the Ski Total offices in Las Condes.

Chileans are football crazy and Colo Colo are the most popular football club in the country. They play their home games at Estadio Monumental. Built in 1989, the stadium has a capacity of 45,000. Originally, the stadium could hold up to 65,000 spectators but its capacity was reduced for security reasons. The highest ever recorded attendance was 69,305 for a 1992 match between Colo-Colo and Universidad de Chile.
Nowadays, it is very rare for games to be sold out, except for the Superclasico v Universidad de Chile. I got there more than an hour before kick-off and bought my ticket on the day of the game. I paid C$12,000 to see a Copa Libertadores match. For that, I had a good seat at the side. Colo Colo's most fanatical fans, known as the Garra Blanca, stand behind the goal, where you will see huge flags, flares and fireworks. Leave a Comment

You can rent some little boats with pedals or boats to row in Valdivia rivers (there is a space to practice it infront of the Club de Remo de Valdivia).

Near santiago you have several sky resorts, just about one hour or less Farellones ( extremelly basic sky resort) el Colorado, La Parva and Valle nevado all of the last are great, sky lift is expensive, may be the most expensive one is Valle nevado, but worth it. the sky season in chile normally starts on june and ends in september. a little bit more far then this sky resort you have agrat one PORTILLO may be the best of them with very chalenging hills, the road to argentina , may be 2 or 3 hours from Santiago.
in every sky resort you have sky renting equipment Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding
