I’m form Rancagua and I like looking for exiting places to visit here in Santiago so this is an interesting assignment. The first thing that took my attention when I got here 3 years ago, because you can’t find it in my hometown, was the number of old buildings. You can walk through Santiago’s main streets and you’ll realize how beautiful this city can be, and I’m not just talking about the historic constructions but the architecture found in the houses built early in the past century. Another point of interest is the “MIM”, which is supposed to be only for children but I have a great time when I go, it’s just you never stop learning and you can see things differently. The first time I went there was in high school and since then I’ve always liked it.
The next place is a little difficult to reach because is in “Cerro San Cristobal” and is the “Japanese garden o jardín japonés”. This place is very unique in the city and I think I’m not lying if I say in the whole country as well; it is a look of this ancient and intriguing culture and you can learn a lot if you stop to appreciate it.
You can’t visit Santiago without living an experience that is characteristic of our culture, which is the passion we have in a football stadium. I don’t know anyone who haven’t had fun going, even if you don’t like this sport. In fact, I have an exchange friend from United States here and she hates sports, but me and my other friends told her she will never regret going, so we did…and now she is asking me when is the next match.
The last place I would recommend is not really a place, it is a special day when all the public buildings are open to people for free, even the ones you cannot visit on a regular day , is “El Día del Patrimonio Cultural”. This is a very special opportunity, because you are able to watch the very best places that Santiago has to offer, like “Club de la Unión”, “Casa de Moneda”, “Palacio Cousiño”, and much more. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has the possibility to spend time in Santiago.

Well done Andres, actually that day was this weekend wasn't it?
It is true that when you're not from the city, you usually see it with different eyes...
