Metropolitan Park
Description
This beautiful green area, including the hills of San Cristóbal, Chacarillas, Gemelos and Pirámide, occupies 722 hectares and is the largest urban park in the country and one of the largest in the world. In 1926, Mayor Alberto Mackenna transformed it into a public area. The summit is 860 meters above sea level, crowned by 14 meter tall statue of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception. This is a favorite spot for a Sunday outing, whether on foot, bicycle, car or funicular. There is a zoo, two swimming pools, picnic areas, restaurants, children's play area, a chapel and botanical gardens, all with their own hours of operation. For a full view of Santiago, go all the way up to the summit. On a clear day it's possible to see the snowy Andean peaks in all their splendor.
The park is big and has a great view over the city.
Going all the way up to see the saint was also a great experience. The staircase is surrounded by little flowers, very nice.
