San Cristóbal Hill: view of the city from above
Tour description
This free tour aims to view the city of Santiago from above and from this angle understand how the city has been built since its beginnings, and the landscape transformations that have been part of its history. We will also learn about the importance of Cerro San Cristóbal and its transformation as the largest urban park in Chile and the 4th largest in the world.
This space is ideal for learning more about Chilean flora and fauna and the cultural events that take place from this point where the Andes mountain range can be seen in all its splendor.
