So many place to go.


Santiago is chosen by lots of foreigner while they are in tour. That is the reason why some times we can see them taking a guided visit around the city in bus. I am going to name different places that i would recommend to visit and the motive.

firstly, architecture present in compañia de jesus street.there, is located the Precolombine Museum, i considere it`s interesting because inside there is part of our history, it is full of crafts made buy ancestral villages which are representative of our country between them Yaganes, Mapuches, Diaguitas, Atacameños. The exposition presents lots of ceramics, some works made in wood, clay and other things made by themselfs. Tourist are going to find information about our ancient people written next to every craft they find, musical instruments, examples of graves and clothes.

In front of the museum is another pleasant construction i mean, the Ex Nacional Congress, which is open sometimes to citizens. I choose this place because it was my place for resting when i was a student, i used to go there with my boyfriend and there i learnt that Santiago had beautiful places to rest and to be surrounded by native trees, peace and forget the noise pollution. This place is for resting and learning about the vegetation present through Chile, exclusives trees like Peumo, are things they are not going find in other land. That`s why in my opinion it`s attractive.

Well another place i choose is La alhambra palace, it is in the same road and i heard it was an imitation of alambra´s palace from Spain. I like in spite of i´ts smaller than the original, but is a moorish building full of stained-glass Windows, and mirrors inside, fountains and colourful Gardens. Tourist can take some photos and compare after if they travel to know the big one in Spain. At this moment the construction form part of the National Society of Bellas Artes and it is used for painting expositions.

Now, in the corner of Teatinos with Alameda street is situated “Centro Cultural la Moneda” which is under the “Palacio de la Moneda” there, the tourist are going to find restaurant and an interesting exhibition of chilean wine.They can take pictures to the huge panoramic that exist in front.

Besides, walking in the center tourist people can see we have a developed trade system, they can Shopping and they can choose International food, but i advice the central market, there are many tipical plates and i recommend mainly the famous shellfish, taste with lemon, onion and chili.
All in all, i prefer the center of the city when i have to give an advice about what place to visit or to go, because everything is closer , there is a lots of services and whatever you want is in the corner.
