Modern Santiago
Traditionally, Patagonian travelers have transferred through Santiago airport and onwards to their final destination, however things have changed. This cosmopolitan and fast-changing city, considered by many as a culinary hotspot, is one of Latin America’s rising stars with so much to offer every type of visitor.
World renowned wine regions, mountainous landscapes for adventure activities and the eclectic UNESCO coastal city of Valparaíso are all within a short drive of Santiago. A stay in Chile’s capital should be incorporated into any Patagonian adventure.

Bella Vista Neighbourhood
