Chile
A 10-day trip to Santiago
Modern Andean sophistication, gritty street culture, and exceptional cool-climate dining framed by 18,000-foot peaks.
Santiago is frequently treated as an unavoidable airport layover before travelers fly south to Patagonia or north to the Atacama Desert. That approach misses the city's true character. While it lacks the uniform historical grandeur of Buenos Aires or the raw topography of Rio de Janeiro, Chile's capital rewards structured exploration. Framed directly against the snow-capped Andes, Santiago is an efficient metropolis of walkable leafy barrios, world-class modern dining rooted in native Chilean biomes, poignant human rights history, and doorstep access to premier wine valleys and coastal hills.
