Hello dear friends, today I’m going to talk about what to do if you are a tourist in Santiago. I think that this is very useful, especially if we think that summer vacations are in about 2 months.
I believe that there exist many kind of tourist, so there are a big variety of activities that people can do. If you are a tourist that likes the nature, or animals, maybe Santiago is not the best place to enjoy vacations, although, Santiago always has options, like visiting the Zoo, or the Japanese botanical garden in the San Cristobal Hill. But, to begin a small list about places that as a tourist you MUST visit, we have to establish that here in Santiago, you must have an adventurous spirit, and also you must being a curious person, because there are many places that even Chilean people doesn’t have idea about their existence.

The top 5 of the places you must visit –they are not in order, because it depends on the likes of every tourist-:

1. The San Cristobal Hill, there you can do many activities, you can do a nice pic-nic with friends, also there is a place to do a barbeque, you can visit the Metropolitan Zoo –as I already told-, and before the Earthquake, you could have a good time in the “Teleferico”.
2. The Forestal Park is a park very beautiful, you can walk over there, take pictures, and if you are tired, you can visit a good coffee shop.
3. Near the Park, you can visit the Museum of “Bellas Artes”, a really beautiful, place that you can visit, and is not very expensive. In the other enter of the museum, many people or artist get together there to show their art. Also you can visit the MAC, a museum of contemporary art.
