Santiago

Santiago is home to 6 of Chile’s top performing Primera Division football teams: Club Universidad de Chile, who play their home games at Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos; Colo-Colo, who play their home games at Estadio Monumental David Arellano; Club Deportivo Universidad Católica, who play their home games at San Carlos de Apoquindo Stadium; Club Unión Española S.A.D.P, who play their home games at Santa Laura Stadium; Club Deportivo Palestino, who play their home games at Estadio Municipal La Cisterna; and Audax Club Sportivo Italiano, who play their home games at Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida.

Santiago is a progressive capital city sprawled across the central valley between the snow-capped Andes and the Chilean Coastal Range. The mountains form a picturesque backdrop to every viewpoint in the city, especially when the Gran Torre Santiago, the tallest skyscraper in South America, is in the foreground. In the winter, Santiago is a covetable base from which to go skiing, and in the summer, locals and visitors alike stroll through its nearby vineyards, which produce some of the world’s most famous wines. Central Santiago is a magical mix of history and modernity, and art and business. The cosmopolitan streets in the west offer contemporary art and entertainment hotspots amongst cosmopolitan high-rise buildings, while the streets in the east offer cool bohemian enclaves amongst grand neoclassical mansions.
