What to do and where to go in Santiago


Santiago has a lot of places to visit, so if you are here and you dont know what to do i'll help you.

first that all in Santiago are a lot of different museums, parks, theaters and places to eat.

So in first place you need to go to eat to the central market and eat all kind of seafood it's delicious, but don't hope to find glamour in that places is very tipic and popular but it's a good way to know the "real" Santiago.

in second place are the parks here are a lot of them and very beautiful too, some examples are Parque Bustamente that is located between Providencia and General Bustamente, the area is shaped by playgrounds, hiking trails, gardens and a skating rink. another park is Parque Metropolitano it's located in the Pyramid this is the largest urban park in Chile with 780 hectares. It has playgrounds and varied attractions, including the Metropolitan Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, two pools, picnic areas, cable car and a playground.


But if you want to relax and not to walk so much then you can go to the theaters i recomend the Civic Theater of Santiago located in Agustinas 794 is the cultural center of the country's oldest and fundamental stage of works from around the world. it's a really art factory.


By the end but not least is the museums, you need to go to the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art located in Bandera 361The Museum houses a permanent exhibition called "Pre-Columbian America in Art ', and traveling exhibitions that change every year.


So this are some good places to visit if you are a foreing or a local person.

First semester 2010

The last semester was a crazy one.

In first place it was my first semester at Universidad de Chile, I was nervous because I studied kinesiology at UDD for a year and a half but I didn’t like it so I get out of there, and I decided to study something that I really like and at a good university. So I decided to study nursery education here.

I’ve meet a lot of people some of them really like me; they are lovely people who understand me, and that have the same situation than me. Another people did not like me so much but that happens anywhere so is not something new.

Even the university takes me a lot of time, I tried to make some free time too, to spend it with my friends and with the good people I meet here. Also I traveled to Sto. Domingo where my parents live because here in Stgo I really miss them, but that is something good too because when I go I realize how important is my family to me. I like to go there because is a good way to escape from the contamination of Santiago.

Also I get to know my boyfriend who studies the same career as me, and we get very good together. So when the semester has over I couldn’t be happier because my life was finally where I wanted to be.
