Santiago is the busy capital city of Chile, tucked in a green valley with tall snowy mountains all around. It mixes modern skyscrapers with leafy parks, lively squares, and cozy old neighborhoods.
People love Santiago for its amazing mountain views, tasty food, and fun hilltop parks you can reach by cable car. From the top of its hills you can see the whole city spread out below the Andes.
The tall Andes mountains circle the city and often wear caps of white snow. On clear days the snowy peaks make a stunning backdrop behind the buildings.
Big green hills like San Cristobal rise right in the middle of the city. A fun cable car carries families to the top for a picnic and a huge view.
Santiago has warm sunny summers and cool winters when the nearby mountains fill with snow. That means families can enjoy the park in summer and go skiing close by in winter.
