Parque Metropolitano - City Park Santiago - Chile

Covering 728 hectares, Parque Metropolitano is one of the largest parks in Chile. It is spread over several hills, including Cerros San Cristóbal, Chacarillas, Gemelos and Pirámide. The summit at Cerro San Cristóbal is 860 meters above sea level and crowned with a 14-meter-high statue of the Virgen de la Immaculada Concepcion.

The park also has walking and bicycle trails, two outdoor swimming pools, picnic and BBQ areas, botanical gardens, children’s play areas, a chapel and restaurants. The easiest way to get to the top is to use the Teleférico cable car or the Funicular. Parque Metropolitano is by far the loveliest park in the city and should not be missed.
