Santiago Santiago

Waves crash against the coast, gracing Chile's western edge with a majestic four thousand kilometer border of blue. Along this thin nation's eastern side, glorious silver peaks crown extraordinary mountain ranges. Between these two natural wonders, a proud capital city emerges, startlingly modern in its passion for excellence, steadfast in its preservation of a culture informed by a vivid past. Nearly twenty years of economic growth have transformed Santiago into one of Latin America's most vibrant metropolitan destinations. Here, within a valley surrounded by the Andes, the spirit of a Spanish colonial past prevails within the baroque churches and neoclassical palaces that reside among the glistening skyscrapers that line its gracious avenues.
