 Cerro Santa Lucia by dargains
El cerro San Cristobao esta umbicado en un parque publico de la ciudad de Santiago, donde se quedan tambien las piscinas publicas y lo famoso telefeirco de los postales y e un los pocos sitios con grand quantidad de arboles en la ciudad. En el Cerro San Cristobao propiamente dicho, hay la estatua de la Virgem, de brazos abiertos a Santiago y la famosa paisage de la ciudad y los Andes nevados ao fundo, se no hay smog por supuesto.
The San Cristobao Hill, is located in a public park in Santiago, this park is where there also located the public pools and teleferics, from the post cards, this park is also one of the few green areas of the city. In the San Cristobao hill it self what we have is the statue of the Holy Mari, with arms wide open blessing Santiago, and the classic view of the city with the snowed Andes in the background Leave a Comment Address: AV Pio IXDirections: Distrito Bellavista Bellavista District

For some reason, I am a fan of funiculars. Taking the funicular to the top of Cerro san Cristobal was a great treat for me. The trip was very inexpensive, comfortable, and offers a stop at the local zoo, which I did not visit.
The views from the top are incredible. Make yourself comfortable, enjoy a treat from a local vendor, and watch all the bicyclists huff and puff their way to the top. Visit the statue of Mary, at the top, and pay your respects before taking a trip back down on the funicular.

You can take a two person gondola ride from one mountain/hill of Cerro San Cristobal to the next. There was a charge for the ride, but it wasn't much.
The view of the city was fantastic.
From the stories my friend, a native of Santiago, told, the funicular is very popular for "romance." Leave a Comment

After visiting La Chascona, walk a block north and you're at the entrance to Parque Metropolitano at the base of Cerro San Cristobal. A funicular will take you close to the summit of the hill where a statue of Virgen de la Inmaculada Concepción awaits. The statue is 72' tall and can be seen from miles away. It reminds one of Rio de Janeiro's statue of Christ on a smaller scale but too bad about the radio towers and guide wires that are visible in the background. A zoo can also be visited part way up the hill. A tramway can deliver you down the hill toward the "Golf" area of Santiago or you can return via the funicular to visit the Bellavista barrio, now a swinging area jammed with bars and restaurants. Address: the end of Calle Pío NonoDirections: Near Bellavista

At the end point of the funicular ride, you arrive at the Terraza Bellavista.
From this Terraza you have a splendid view over the city, and on a clear day you can see the snowy mountains.
As we visited Cerro San Christobal, it was winter, pretty grey and raining, but anyway the trip up was well worth the effort and the money. Leave a Comment Address: Cerro San Christobal

When you are at the top of Cerro San Christobal, near the statue of the Virgen de la Inmaculada Concepcion, you have a great view over the city.
I think this is the highest spot from where you can se the city.
While we were visiting this hill, the weather was grey and wet, but nevertheless the view was great.
And at a certain moment the clouds went open, a piece of blue sky appeared, and even a bit of sunlight shined on the snowy mountains, which was a fantastic view. Leave a Comment

Is very peaceful to walk and see the animals and general views of Santiago

It´s got a Virgin statue on the top and is a place for celebrating masses. It´s really beautiful as is the view from the city. The zoo is there and also public swimming pools and parks. It is possible to get there by a kind of elevator (funicular) or by a cable car. The price varies depending on what you´re going to visit (the top, the zoo, both, etc.). Address: Barrio BellavistaDirections: Barrio Bellavista the nearest subway station is probably Baquedano.
