Chile's steady economic growth has transformed Santiago into one of Latin America's most modern metropolitan areas, with extensive suburban development, dozens of shopping centers, and impressive high-rise architecture.
It was a beautiful day here in Santiago- 85 degrees and sunny. This afternoon we began our visit in Santiago's historical Downtown. Our first stop was in the Plaza de Armas which is the main square of the city and the Metropolitan Cathedral, visting its principal altars. Then we headed to visit the civic neighborhood of Santiago, to visit the Palacio de la Moneda, the work place of Chilean presidency. Our last stop was Cerro San Cristobal, or the San Cristobal Hill, which provides a spectacular panoramic view of Santiago.
