Under $100 / Latin America

Chile’s largest and capital city, Santiago is situated perfectly between the Chilean coastline and snow-covered Andes. The surrounding landscapes are breathtaking, while the city offers dining, nightlife, shopping, history and nature to keep visitors busy, entertained and under budget.

 

Explore the historic Plaza de Armas, Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral, San Cristóbal Hill, La Moneda Palace, Santa Lucía Hill and many other top destinations within Santiago, all of which are free. The historic architecture and hilltop views offer incredible, scenic locations for travelers to visit freely while gaining culture and amazing photo opportunities.

 

Once you’ve explored the historic and naturally beautiful sites of Santiago, enjoy casual dining and fun cocktails at Bocanariz. Just a short distance from the Plaza de Armas, guests can enjoy a late lunch in a cozy atmosphere at this trendy wine bar.

 

For even more outdoor beauty and exercise, El Yaso Dam and Parque Forestal offer amazing hikes, bike trails and panoramic views for the nature-loving tourist.

 

With such affordable sites, shops and activities throughout the day, splurge a bit on fresh seafood for dinner at Aqui Esta Coco, Coco Pacheco. Each dining room is more beautiful than the next with stonewalls and rich interior design.
