Santiago, the capital city of Chile is set back from the coast and has the snow capped peaks of the Andes Mountain Range as a backdrop. 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. There are many other fine buildings worthy of inspection and include, the Government Palace, the National Library, the Court House and the National Historical Museum.
There are Adventure Travel opportunities only 60km out of town like, major ski centers, mountain hiking, hot springs, and the beautiful beaches of the Pacific Coast are only an hour's drive to the northwest.
