About Santiago de Chile
Santiago de Chile is a bustling, modern capital nestled in a valley amidst the ever-present backdrop of the majestic Andes mountain range. One of Latin America’s main financial centers, it’s home to about 40% of the country’s population with over 5 million inhabitants. Santiago is also centrally located, making it a convenient home base for trips to the north, south, and central coastal regions.
Like many Latin American cities, Santiago is defined by coexisting contrasts: colonial and modern architecture, energizing street scenes and quite parks, elegant shopping and earthy markets, an exciting nightlife and romantic restaurants. With ski slopes and beaches at a short distance and all that a world capital has to offer on a daily and nightly basis, Santiago is an exhilarating setting to study Spanish and discover Chilean culture.
