Santiago
The Andes, wine and a modern capital at the mountain's feet.
Santiago blends an organized metropolis with the Andes as backdrop: San Cristóbal Hill, Maipo Valley wineries, Cajón del Maipo and, in winter, ski resorts an hour away.
Who it suits Couples, families, wine lovers and mountain fans — great South American value.
When to go Winter (June–August) brings snow to the resorts; summer is dry and ideal for wine and the coast (Viña del Mar and Valparaíso).
Access and length Direct flights from Brazil. Essentials take 4–5 days; with wineries and snow, a week.
Highlights - San Cristóbal Hill views - Maipo Valley wineries - Farellones/Valle Nevado in winter
