Portray of the Destination
Santiago de Chile is a stunning urban centre established on both banks of the Mapocho River, which is crossed by many bridges throughout its way.

The city is located on a beautiful valley at the foot of the Santa Lucía Hill, between the Cordillera de la Costa range and the Andes.

This is a city of contrasts between modern and old features, which is visible in its architecture. Santiago de Chile is the economic and cultural hub of the country, and most of the international flights land there. This is one of the metropolises with the highest quality of life in Latin America and it is known as being a safe and clean city, with an efficient, modern transportation system. There you will find the modern fleet of articulated buses called Transantiago.

Its gastronomic and hotel infrastructure is amazing, which satisfies all the needs, whether you travel for business or for pleasure. Near the capital you will find the most important Chilean wine cellars, as well as hot springs centers and placid haciendas dating back to the 17th Century.
