About Santiago:
Santiago is
situated in a fertile valley with a pleasant Mediterranean climate,
which has led to the emergence of a modern, cosmopolitan city, full of
life throughout the year. Santiago, founded on February 12, 1541 by
the Spanish conqueror Pedro de Valdivia, is the fifth largest city in
South America and one of the most beautifully set of any. The city is
crossed from E to W by the Río Mapocho, spanned by several bridges.
The view over Santiago after a rainy day is overwhelming, with
the imposing Andes mountains rising majestically to the East. Santiago
dominates Chile in almost every aspect. Santiago is the main
centre of finance, industry, culture and communications, and almost no
aspect of Chilean life escapes the grip of its big capital city. You
don't have to go far from the capital to find adventure: there's
rafting on the Maipo river, mountaineering, trekking and horseback
riding in the central Andes, hanggliding or parapente, all within a
few hours of Santiago. Between June and September, skiers from around
the world are drawn to the ski resorts perched high above the city. Websites about
