What to do in Santiago

Santiago is Chile's capital. For some people is a beautiful place and for others an ugly city. There is a lot of things to do, the great thing is that are many activities for free, you can have a lot of fun without spending your money.There are typical places too, like the important hills as San Cristóbal and Santa Lucía. The Government Palace is a beautiful building to visit in a tour.

The people who visit Santiago could be foreigners from other countries or from other cities of the country. So the places to visit will not be the same, or the activities to do, because the interest are not the same.

But if I were a foreigner, I would visit this top five places:

- San Cristóbal Hill: A place with many things to do, you can walk, or run, cycling, make a picnic, visit the zoo, climb the hill to see the virgin statue.

- Fantasilandia: Is an Amusement Park, is the biggest park of Chile. Here you can have a great time with friends or family, sometimes some characters do public shows. Some attractions are for kids, and some for adults, so it is a good place to visit with your children.

- National Museum of Natural History: To know about our country, our earth's riches and our history.

- La Piojera: One of the most famous bar in Chile, here you can find typical drinks and foods of Chile.

- Rural places around Santiago: Inside de Metropolitan Region, but not in the big city. Some places like Pomaire, Isla de Maipo or Malloco. In Pomaire you can find typical clay figures, in Isla de Maipo the Wine Harvest Party and in Malloco the Oktoberfest, with a lot of beers to "taste".
I would recommend this places to visit, because I like it too much. So I invite you to do a tour considering this places.

Excellent! The places that you mentioned I like, and is true that these are cheap or free, bur despite that as I get bored in Santiago, spend a lifetime here becomes monotonous because the attractions are few from my point of view.

Great job, Paulina.

Say, "for some people IT is a beautiful place and for others IT is..."

Also, "there ARE many things to do" and "these places"
