Spend your first 2 nights and last night in Santiago. Taxi's are inexpensive and available at all hotels and English speaking drivers are available. Flights arrive in Satiago from 7 to 9 AM as they are almost all red eyes (perfect for an 8 hour overnight flight). Drop things at hotel and get in town and start to look around. Day 2 plan a tour (use the hotel info) and see more of the city/museums/vineyards/etc. Day 3, rent a car and drive to VinaDelMar / Val Parisa (side by side cities) it ...

It has a great European culture, great restraurant, tea houses and shops. ... Read Full Review | Report This

While I generally liked Chile I did not like Santiago. It was an unattractive city and most neighborhoods seemed to be very seedy. I work for an airline and travel the world and Santiago is one of the few cities I would not like to revisit. On the other hand, Puerto Montt (about a two hour flight south of Santiago) is a gem and seems to be off the beaten tourist track. From there, we rented a car and took the ferry to Chiloe island. It was the highlight of the trip and something I'll always ... Read Full Review | Report This

You will need a camera and a window seat when landing in Santiago. The Cordillera de los Andes is magnificent and a memory forever. The people is very friendly and you can to go everywhere walking. Santiago is a mix of Europe and moderm architecture. A funny place and don't forget to go to the wineyards in the country, you can teste the best wines in this part of the world. Vina del Mar is a very moderm coastal city, only 2 hrs. from Santiago, you can see the Pacific Ocean and wonderful sunset ... Read Full Review | Report This
