Santiago is one of those metropolitan joys where the more you look, the more you find. Funky cafes and dance clubs dot Bellavista, Forest Park art collections range from pre-Columbian to contemporary, and architecture runs the gamut from the 16th-century San Francisco Church to mirrored office towers. Shop with the locals at Mall Panora¡mico and give your palate meals to remember with hearty Chilean fare.

San Francisco Church

The immense red walls and vast great room leave visitors in awe as this 16th centruy structure is Santiago's oldest building.

Spent about 20 minutes here. Took the metro University of Chile to here and walked a short distance. Free entry. The first stone was laid here in 1586 making it Santiago's oldest surviving colonial building. There is an attached colonial-art museum for a fee.

Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion

Reviewed By CEFJR

Very much worth taking the funicular to the top of Cerro San Cristobal where this statue of Mary is located. there is a small church below the statue and decorated crosses as you walk up to the summit.
