Amazing green park which gives you a birds eye and panoramic view of Santiago city. 👌 The skyline offers breath taking views of the snow capped mountains encircling Santiago. The statue of Immaculate Conception is at the top of a hill. You can take the stairs or use the cable car to reach there. There are trekking and biking trails available for enthusiasts. Kids will enjoy the zoo and view points. Plenty of refreshment shops around for any requirements. Modern landscaping adds to the lovely ambience. You are in touch with nature and the clean and green surroundings add to the atmosphere. This is a perfect place to get the best views of Santiago city and the surrounding areas. The sunset views were amazing. Also, its a good place to unwind and do nothing for a while away from the concrete jungle of Santiago! Overall a memorable experience with my local friends and well worth a visit for tourists.👍
Beautiful and large park with the Statue of the Immaculate Conception at the very top. From here, you can look down on a bowl containing the 8 million people of Santiago and the surrounding area (over half the population of Chile). The mountains in the background are so immense that they dwarf the city AND the tallest building in South America that you will see below you. Ride the Funicular up and consider catching the tramway who's station is near the top of the Funicular railroad.
You have two options to get to the top, the first being your own two feet, though it can be quite a trek. The second being an easy access by the old railcart that will take you to the top where the virgin overlooks the city.
Stores with snacks and beverages await there, its well worth your time, especially considering the spectacular views of the city from natures bosom.
There are also two swimming pools if you are itching for a dip, though they are further down.
Very nice whether you take the cable way or walk up to the highest mountain. The only thing that bores me about most cities is all those idols from catholic religion. Great view of Santiago. Drink a mote con huesillo, it's like a dessert, refreshing and sweet. Bring pesos. Walking can be a little dangerous as the pedestrian ways are only on one side and you have to pay attention to where it ends and starts on the other side of the street. Cars drive fast and skaters and bikers do stunts and go super fast :/ There are trails in the woods but you need hiking shoes and beware of bikers. They're not supposed to go in the trails but some people do what they want and could come down super fast while you're walking there.
This place is a 'must see' when you visit Santiago, the capital city of Chile. This metropolitan park is actually the largest urban park in the whole Latin America. It comprises 6 different hills and you can enjoy the landscape either taking the funicular or the cable car. Nowadays vehicles are more restricted, so I suggest to go up not considering the use of a car. Pedestrians and bikers are welcome. Welcome to a beautiful city!!!
Lovely place full of 🌲 in blossom, just be careful do not be a touristbe one more & everything will be fine
is one of my favorites places in santiago.you can ride your bike, go jogging or just use the cableway to reach the top easy and get a nice view of santiago STOP TO BUILD MORE ROADS AND UNNECESSARY THINGS IN THE PARK!!! don't kill the lung of santiago plz
The sight here is awesome, there a lot of services upside, like souvenirs stores, snack stores, etc.
At the peak you can go to the Virgin sanctuary, always with a good view of the city, have lunch in some green areas, etc.
You can come here by funicular, that's taken at Pio Nono avenue entrance Takes about 5 minutes to reach the peak.
Also you can do cycling along the park in the different paths and roads, always taking care of pedestrians.
There're many picnic zones too, a c
Pool and the last but not least: the cableways: by then you can see all the park from the sky and cross it. If you take them, you'll reach Pedro de Valdivia North avenue exit.
Take a deep breath at the heart of Santiago, biking. Tracking. Picnic area, kids zone
I recommend hiking up if you are fit but the lift to the top is very inexpensive. Several water stations and toilets are located on the hike up.
It's a really beautiful place to visit, full of colors and nature, the zoo is special for children and you can go to the top of the hill with the cable cars however you can walk instead of it, also you can jogging or biking as well.
This is a beautiful, well maintained park which contains San Cristobal and a Zoo. You can get to the top fairly quickly using cable cars or a special tram the "funicular". It is quite green and the views of Chile are spectacular.
Cerro San Cristobal was spectacular. The old school cable car takes you up to the top of the mountain with stunning views of all of Santiago below. Several crosses and Catholic icons at the top, there seemed to be an impromptu mass with music coming from one of the church areas on top of the hill. Very peaceful, great tourist trap as well with postcards and other souvenirs
Nature, peace and colors. This place is a must visit location if you travel to Santiago. This green lung brings the calmness for a crowded and lousy city :) The teleferico is absolutely amazing and brings you a cool view of everything.
Worth the effort to visit. A funicular railway takes you to the top of the hill and a fantastic view of the city. You can then walk around the park or go back down the same way. There are toilets top and bottom, as well as a cafe.
