what to do/ where to go in Santiago

Santiago of Chile, has a lot of interesting places that you can visit, maybe in less of one week, because they are very close of each other.

In the center of Santiago you can find almost all of them, like the presidential house, "La Moneda", wich is very near of the most famous square of Chile, Plaza de Armas. You can take a walk on the alleys, they are next to the plaza de armas, like the Paseo Ahumada, or the Paseo Estado. They have a lot of galleries where you can go to shopping or to eat something.

The green areas are represented in Santiago by the Cerro San Cristobal, the metropolitan park, wich is on the center too. There you can go to visit the Metropolitan Zoo, where you can see beautiful animals like elephants, penguins, camells, flamingos, etc. Also, you can go up to the top of the hill, by a cablecar, there you can find a big white virgin where you can pray or just look the big Santiago.

Also exist another hill, the Cerro Santa Lucia, which is more little than the Cerro San Cristobal.

There are other green areas, like the Forestal Park, wich is on the center too, or the Ohiggin's Park, wich is very big.

The museums that you should visit are the Natural History National Museum, wich is in the Quinta Normal Park, there you can see stuffed animals and ancient mummies too.

If you want to see paintings, you have to visit the Bellas Artes Museum, wich is next to the Forestal Park.

I think that these places are the most important of Santiago, or the most interesting, you will have fun in all of them.

To get to all this places that I mention you just have to take the subway, it will takes you to anyplace that you want.
