Description

Discover Santiago's iconic landmarks with the convenience of hotel pick-up and drop-off. Ascend Cerro San Cristobal, also known as the Metropolitan Park, via cable car and witness the sprawling neighborhoods unfolding beneath you. At the summit, be captivated by an awe-inspiring panorama and explore the sanctuary housing a striking statue of the Virgin Mary. Uncover the enchantment of Chile's semiprecious blue stone, 'lapis lazuli,' found only in Chile and Afghanistan. Immerse yourself in a world where craftsmanship meets artistry, with exquisite crafts and dazzling jewelry meticulously crafted from this rare gemstone, perfect for authentic souvenirs. Experience the urban oasis of Cerro Santa Lucía, rising 226 feet from the city center. Enjoy unparalleled views and delve into the city's evolution. Our journey begins with a scenic van ride, ascending to the midpoint of the hill, with the option to climb stairs to its summit for further exploration. Visit Constitution Square, in front of the La Moneda Palace, the seat of government in Chile. Capture stunning photographs and explore the monuments scattered around the square, delving deeper into Chilean history. Explore the exterior of the Government Palace, marveling at its history and architecture. Next, visit Chile's largest shopping center, the Costanera Center. Enjoy lunch and explore the wide variety of stores across its five floors, part of the tallest tower in South America, the Costanera Tower. Optional: Embark on an unforgettable journey up South America's tallest building. A high-speed elevator will whisk you to the 61st floor, home to the Sky Costanera observation deck. Immerse yourself in breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. For the adventurous, ascend one more floor to the rooftop, where the vistas are unparalleled. Note that the ascension has an extra cost of about 20 US dollars per person, charged by the tower employees before entering the elevator. If you prefer not to go all the way up, continue discovering the attractions on the first five floors.
