I don’t love Santiago, but i like it. I arrived to this city four years ago, when I begin to study journalism in the Universidad de Chile. I moved from Rengo, a city near of Rancagua, in the sixth region.

When I arrived to Santiago, I believed there’s impossible to found beautiful places, but I was wrong. So, now I will tell you about my most beautiful and interesting place to visit in Santiago.

You have to visit the Saint Cristobal hill. It’s near of Plaza Italia, an important point of reference in this city.

This is the biggest urban green area in the world, an area of 722 hectares. There you can find a great variety of vegetation, places to make eat something, or to take a look of the city (I recommend you do it after of a rainy day, because the sky is cleaner). If you like to practice sports, it’s a great place to make running or moving on your bicycle. If you like the animals, you can go to the metropolitan zoo, and if you like to swim you can visit the Tupahue and Antilen swimming pool.

The Saint Cristobal hill is near of the Baquedano subway station. Then, you have to walk for Pio Nono Street. You can climb up for the roads, or you can do it in a car, or in the railway.

If you want to have some fun, I recommend you to visit Bellavista. It’s between the Saint Cristobal hill and the Plaza Italia. There are a great variety of places to drink or eat something, to dance. You can find an option according to your money, music you like, or people you want to meet. Another places you should visit are the Brazil and Ñuñoa’s city square.

I could be writing for hours about the places I like of Santiago, but I prefer you found your own. Come on, let’s go!
