Hi Goldryder
Santiago is a beautiful cosmopolitan city.
its hotel is located near hill San Cristobal,it have on funicular, cableway, Zoological and restaurant.
To one hour of the city this the town of Pirque,
in this place it finds the the more pretty vineyards of Chile CONCHA Y TORO
the Providencia district is a place where there are very good restaurants and commercial centers, downtown is the old part, where are museums, the government house, the market central and the palaces of century XIX
The Central Market is a typical place of the city, is a construction of years 1800 where the fruits and the products of the sea are commercialized. In this place there are very good restaurants, a the best is "Donde Agusto"
I recommend to you that make tour by the city,a good company can put a car to its Disposition with a guide in english.
