Traditionally the best place to start is the capital so here we are - Santiago de Chile - big but cosy city that gives you the impression of a homely town.
 |
| La Moneda - the seat of the President - this is the place where President Salvador Allende died during the coup d'etat in 1973 which led to the long dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet |
 |
| Catedral Matropolitana |
 |
| Iglesia de la Merced |
 |
| Cerro Santa Lucia - the hill in the centre of the city that gives you the spectacular view of the mountains |
Santiago is the city that emerges from the mountains. Snowy picks of Andes compose the landscape together with the picks of scyscrapers.

| The monument on the central plaza - Plaza de Armas |
