The capital of Chile and one of the largest cities in Americas. The city is just 115 km away from the nearest port, Valparaiso, which makes it a perfect close to shore excursion if you are cruising. This city at the end of the Andes may not be popular as its big brothers in South America – Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, but it certainly has a word or two to say. This city has grown economically very much in the recent years, with modern skyscrapers who pullout now and then. Here are the top reasons to travel to Santiago.
