It is home to about 5 million people, which accounts for almost half of the population of mainland Chile, it is quite a modern city and a good starting point for the Adventure Traveller as it is central to several Adventure Travel Destinations.
Santiago is well worth exploring, a visit to the Santa Luc�a hill, the site where the conqueror Pedro De Valdivia founded Santiago is a must. From the hill top there is a panoramic view of the city, and one can inspect the architecture of Hidalgo's Castle.
