Santiago de Chile is a beautiful modern city with one of South America's most dynamic economies. Also struggling street vendors board city buses to hawk everything from pins to ice cream.
It's first and foremost a city of commerce, but tourists will find much to enjoy in the city and its surroundings. Less than an hour from the city centre are world-class ski resorts and white-water rafting opportunities, famous beaches and the colorful port city of Valparaíso.
Santiago de Chile is a city of contrasts. It's a modern metropolis whose shining international air terminal greets foreign bankers rushing to invest their money in one of South America's most dynamic economies. At the same time, struggling street vendors board city buses to hawk everything from pins and needles to pens and ice cream, and housemaids ride for hours to scrub floors and change diapers in exclusive suburbs.
