In this blog I have to write about Santiago, the city where I was born and in which I have lived all my life. Despite the contamination of the capital of Chile, the smog and the polluted air, Santiago is a beautifull city, we have to use our time to know the impressive places and landscapes.
A place that I definitely recommend to visit is " El Santuario de la Naturaleza". It´s located in Los Andes mountain range, near the sky centers. The road to get there is a little danger becouse of the curves of the street, but it´s worth it. It´s a place in which the human intervention is minimal, the snowmelt runs in the slopes of the mountains forming little gaps of very cold water.
You can make a three days walk to get to a glacier, you have to go with tent and provisions.
Another place that I recommend to visit is The San Cristobal Mountain, the highest point of the city after the Renca mountain. You can get to the top in a cablecar, but I think that it´s not recomended to peolple with vertigo. Also, in this mountain is the Metropolitan zoo and two pools, calls Tupahue and Antilén.
If you want to know where our president governs, you have to go to La Moneda, in the center of Santiago. In the North is the " Constitution square" and in the South the "Citizenship square", also, inside "La Moneda" is "El patio de los naranjos", with beatiful orange trees.
If you want to go dancing or to a pub, I recommendo you " the Bellavista neighborhood", there you can find a lot of pubs, clubs and restorants for all tastes.
If you are a lover of theater,ballet and classic music, the place for you it´s the " Teatro Municipal" a beautifull building built in 1857.
I hope you visit Santiago soon!
