It has several attractions in its 1784 acres. Central Park is only 842 acres by comparison. Some of its most important attractions are: the sanctuary and balcony of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception; The National Zoo of Chile, where you can get dazzled with the different species of animals; the historic funicular railway and the recently inaugurated cable way. From the top of the park you can enjoy a panoramic view of Santiago and the Andes Mountain Range, also there are two swimming pools, plazas and games for children.

3. Casa Museo La Chascona

4.5 based on 9,382 reviews
Tour the eclectic architecture of this home which served as the romantic hideaway for famed poet Pablo Neruda and his wife Matilde, as portrayed in the 1995 film "Il Postino."
Reviewed By kanemochi - Seattle, United States
This is a fabulous museum paying tribute to the great Nobel Prize poet Pablo Neruda. The museum is literally the house Neruda built and lived in with his wife Matilde Urrutia in Santiago. Please note you are not allowed to take any photographs inside the house. You’re free to take as many photographs outside the house, however. You’re given an audio guide which explains the different parts of the house. This was the most underrated site I visited in Santiago. I would recommend this museum as a must visit for anyone who has even a slight interest in literature. Even those who are not interested in literature will appreciate this museum as a great tribute to one of Chile’s greatest sons.

The company remains 100% under family control, producing limited quantities of fine wines. The mission of Cousino Macul is to produce world-class wines that are unmistakably Chilean, carrying the distinctive character of the Maipo Valley.

Scenic drive of 45 minutes from Santiago to enjoy the Mountain View’s and see different lifestyle of the people en route. Beautiful estate in shape of horseshoe on the side of a mountain. The tasting room and cellar are below ground with the main light coming from a glass bottom fountain in the middle of the horseshoe! The wines are all organic, handpicked and crated perfectly. 95% is sold outside Chile so plan on buying at the vineyard if possible BUT they do not ship - be warned. There is a small restaurant on site. Entire facility is ultramodern equipment and super clean. Enjoyed walking around above the tanks and how sparking bright it all was.
6. Parque Bicentenario

A visit to the modern Parque Bicentenario is well worth it for a leisurely stroll or bike ride. It is located in the heart of the Vitacura community, bordering the south side of the Mapocho river. It is rather a large park but carries a relaxing atmosphere for both locals and tourists alike. There is a large man made lagoon, with beautiful views of the water and city skyline & on a clear day the majestic Andes can be seen in the distance. The Lagoon, is also home to numerous black necked swans as well as other unusual fowl and fish. Children and adults alike, can be seen feeding the birds at all times. A lovely park to visit if you have time.

Visited 17th Sept 2019 Rented a car from Santiago and drove here, the drive is quite challenging as the road close to the attraction is narrow and close to the edge of the cliff. We went on a sunny and clear day, and had to park the car and walk about 4km. Lovely view and was well worth the effort!

Experience Santiago highest viewing platform at the top of the tallest building in Latin America. SkyCostanera is the start point to know Santiago. SkyCostanera offers an exceptional experience, a panoramic view of the city in 360° at 300 meters high
Reviewed By catchmeifyucan
This is one of the best views of Santiago you can get. Sky Costanera is the tallest building in Latin America and has a great vantage view of the Andes Mountains, local parks and skyscrapers. Both of the top 2 floors has windows, w the highest floor having open roof deck. I went on a Thursday at 6pm and it was not crowded at all. Very tranquil and relaxing. In fact, out of all the talk skyscraper buildings I’ve been to (Top of the Rock, CN Tower, Space Needle, Eiffel Tower, etc) this good as one of my favorite ones. Reviews say to go at sunset, bc I came in the summer, it closes during sunset (9pm) but if you get a chance to I’m sure it’s beautiful and well worth.
