entertainment around Cerro San Cristobal Jan 28, 2009
At the foot hill of san cerro there plenty of nice restaurants spread around d in the adjoining streets.
As well it is perhaps worth it not getting a round trip but rather going one way see the zoo if you like and stop at the pools, when getting to the final stop with the “gondolas’” keep walking towards the river on any of the streets (there pretty nice looking houses) when hitting the river turn a bit left on Av. Santa Maria Then cross over the river to get in to Avenida Sueca where one restaurant next to each other line the street. Lot of them have Happy hour and cater for all sorts of different taste And after a few drinks or some good food it is just a few steps away form the Subway which is with 3 read diamonds in a circle marked (los Liones station) Part of the Round the world travel blog |

If you have a half day or so, visit Cerro San Cristobal. You can take a rad funicular up multiple stops of the mountain. Visit a zoo, go swimming at their many public pools (can get really crowded in the Summer months- but a great way to cool off and chill with locals), see the giant statue of La Virgen, and lots more. Highly recommended if you're stuck in the city and just want to cool off at the pools or lay out and get a tan on the grassy areas. If you reach the top of the mountain- a great place to see a fantastic view of Santiago. Oh!- and make sure to try a favorite Chilean dessert while you're there- Mote con huesillo...it looks weird, but is sooooo good!

This time Taty and I were joined by Emily(another aussie friend) to hike Cerro San Cristobal. Cerro San Cristobal is a "hill" that overlooks Santiago. I had taken a tour bus to the top last time I had been in Santiago, but that's just not the same as hiking it. Something about deserving the view when you get to the top after… More hiking? certainly |

…lot of good advice from Taty about places to go on weekends, and she also wants to join me and Emily(another aussie) to hike up Cerro San Cristobal. Cerro San Cristobal is a hill(big one) off to the side of the city that you can hike, take a bus up, or a cable car. There is a pretty big park at the top, but it's expensive, so I'll probably… Real Live Chilean! |

Saturday we went to the zoo, which is up on the hill (El Cerro de San Cristobal). The zoologico is pretty cool-- it's on the side of the hill, so it's all very uneven and lush. Everytime you turn a corner, you encounter a new animal! We saw everything-- penguins, camels, sea lions, tons of birds… Saturday in Santiago |

The next afternoon, after another lazy lie-in and lunch we headed to Santiago’s main park, Cerro San Cristobal. It's a huge hill sticking out of the flat basin in which Santiago lies with a large statue of the Virgin Mary on the top, a zoo on one side and pools and playgrounds all over it. We paid around 4500 pesos… Santiago de Chile |
