Santiago is located in the center of the country, close to world class ski centers and also near beaches and sea ports at the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is, undoubtedly, the entrance gate to a geographic postcard that tourist cannot resist. Founded in 1541, it is the financial, administrative and cultural center of Chile.

Considered a city of contrasts, it is a blend of modern architecture, traditional neighborhoods and many parks.

With an excellent road infrastructure and a subway network of great renown, today distances among urban sites are no longer a problem, particularly this year when a revolutionary urban transportation program (Transantiago) will start aiming to completely link up the whole capital thanks to its surface and underground connections through Metro (Metropolitan Subway).
