 | |  |  | Cerro San Cristobal: The best view on the city! | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
You cannot miss St. Christopher's Hill (Cerro San Cristobal). Almost 15-meters high Virgin Mary white statue atop of it can be seen from almost everywhere - especially during the night, when statue is perfectly illuminated. The hill is a part of Parque Metropolitano, a huge municipal park which was conceived and still is considered as a green lung of Santiago. You can climb it by foot, you can arrive on the top with your car, but the best, the most spectacular way, is to take either the cable car or funicular. The summit of the Cerro is 860 meters above sea level, and almost 300 meters above the rest of the city. That’s why it is the most recommended place to see the full view of Santiago. And during a clear day it's also possible to see the beautiful snowy Andean peaks. Up on the hill you will find a zoological garden, a restaurant, gifts shops, picnic areas and a chapel. On the neighbouring Tuphaue hill, close to the intermediary cable-car station there is a swimming pool and very interesting botanical garden (Jardín Botánico Mapulemu). The hill is also a popular perfect place to get some exercise, play sports or ride a bicycle.
