About Santiago
Santiago is an intriguing combination of colonial and contemporary buildings, a place for both creative thinkers and entrepreneurs. Its charming cobblestone streets tell stories from the past, while the tall buildings showcase the cityâs modernity. Santiago is a city that promises something special for every visitor, making it a great destination for everyone.
A brief history of Santiago
Santiago, the capital of Chile, was founded in 1541 by Spanish conquistadors. The city's location was especially attractive to Spaniards because it is close to Santa Lucia Hill and the Mapocho River. Before their arrival, Incas and Picunche indigenous groups lived in Santiagoâs territory.
In the 1600s, Santiago was starting to flourish, although the growth was relatively slow. The city's expansion was affected by indigenous resistance and other conflicts, which resulted in limited economic growth.
The War of Independence took its place in 1812, and the Battle of Chacabuco on February 12, 1817, was a significant event in Chilean history, as it opened doors to the independence movement. Later on, the city experienced urban and economic development, although it also suffered from poverty, so in the 1900s it went through periods of political instability.
The 1980s in Chile are known as the period of the âMiracle of Chile,â when the countryâs economy was reoriented. This led to economic growth, higher living standards, and reduced poverty, although it also led to income inequality. Over the course of time, Santiago has grown into a vibrant metropolis that attracts millions of visitors each year.
From Mendoza to Santiago: travel tips
Before your trip from Mendoza to Santiago, it is good to be prepared for what awaits you. Here are some tips to bear in mind prior to your visit to the bustling Santiago.
Be aware of earthquakes
Although you cannot predict earthquakes and it is not possible to prepare for them, be aware that they happen quite often in Chile. Unfortunately, seismic activity is now a part of life for those living in Santiago, but most of the modern buildings in the city are earthquake-proof.
Stay safe
Despite Chile being one of the safest countries in Latin America, Santiago is a large metropolis, so it is always good to stay vigilant of your surroundings, keep an eye on your personal belongings, and not walk alone at night.
Move around in the metro
If you are planning to explore different parts of Santiago, you will have to use public transport. The city has a convenient metro system that covers most of the city and is reliable and easy to use. Once you get there, make sure you purchase the Bip! metro card, which will save you some time and money. It can be purchased at the metro stations.
Stay updated on the closure of the pass
Paso Los Libertadores is the road that connects Mendoza and Santiago. In case of heavy snowfalls or winds during winter, it can be closed. To know whether the road is closed or not, you can stay updated by checking Los Libertadores social media accounts. Although the publications are in Spanish, you should be able to read them by using the translation option.
How to get from Mendoza to Santiago
To make your way from Mendoza to Santiago, there are three main modes of transportation you can choose from.
From Mendoza to Santiago by bus
The most budget-friendly way to visit Santiago is by using a bus. You can choose one of the bus companies that provide this route. Here are two of the most cost-effective bus companies:
Andesmar: The cheapest one-way ticket costs around $22 (20,183 CLP, Chilean peso) and takes 8 hours to Santiago. You can also book a more expensive ticket that provides a more comfortable seat. Each bus has screens and restrooms.
CATA Internacional: This bus company also offers tickets starting from $22 (20,183 CLP). You can also choose the executive class option.
Tur-Bus also has routes from Mendoza to Santiago, although the tickets are slightly more expensive. These buses are equipped with comfortable seats, air conditioning, and onboard facilities.
From Mendoza to Santiago by plane
Another great way to travel from Mendoza to Santiago is by flight. Both cities have their own airport, and you can find direct flights that will take you to your destination in just 1 hour. However, bear in mind that you need to add at least 2 hours to the journey time, as you have to be at the airport earlier, and there can be possible flight delays. Flights start from $88 (80,734 CLP).
From Mendoza to Santiago by private car service
While taking a bus might be the cheapest option and flying might be the fastest, using a private car service like Daytrip offers a balanced alternative. Your English-speaking local driver will be happy to take you on a 6-hour long journey and make stops along the way according to your personalized itinerary, allowing you to explore scenic views.
Some must-see stops include the Inca Bridge or Aconcagua Provincial Park, where you can admire the highest peak in the Americas. As you approach Santiago, you will be spoiled with the most spectacular landscapes! While you admire the beauty of the Andes, your driver will ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey, providing insights and stories about the region. Secure a seat for $124 (11,3761 CLP).
Things to do when you get to Santiago
From street art and diverse museums to the tallest buildings and snow-capped mountain peaks wherever you look. Santiago is a city that has it all. Here are a handful of things that you can add to your itinerary!
Climb the tallest building in Latin America
During your stay in Santiago, you cannot miss the chance to climb the 984-foot-tall (300-m) Gran Torre Santiago. The viewpoint is open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM, and the ticket costs $20 (18,240 CLP). As you reach the 61st and 62nd floors where the viewpoint is located, a breathtaking, panoramic view of the city will surprise you!
Admire the street art
Many streets in Santiago tell colorful secrets in the form of murals in different styles. One of the most famous street art neighborhoods that you must visit is called Bellavista. The street art of this bohemian neighborhood was born in the late 1960s as a protest, and it mostly reflects strong political messages related to human rights, social justice, and other concerns.
Taste the Chilean cuisine
There is no better way to learn about a culture than by trying the local dishes. While these dishes are not exclusively from Santiago, here is a list of some Chilean delicacies that you have to try:
Pastel de choclo: A delicious corn pie, a traditional Chilean dish, that represents the importance of corn in the local gastronomy. The pie is usually filled with ground beef and onions.
Cazuela: A traditional stew that is made with meat (either chicken, beef, or pork), potatoes, pumpkin, corn, and other vegetables. Chileans usually enjoy this dish in the colder months.
Mote con huesillo: It is an interesting-looking, non-alcoholic beverage that is made of husked wheat and dried peaches. This refreshing beverage will cool you down if you visit Santiago in the warm season.
Go skiing in the Andes and surfing in the ocean
Great news for the adventurous souls! Santiago is known as the only city in the world where you can get the best of both worlds in one day by combining skiing and surfing. In total, there are 3 main skiing resorts close to Santiago: Valle Nevado, La Parva, and El Colorado. After a good skiing session, you can grab a surfboard and fight the waves of the Pacific Ocean, just a 2-hour ride away from Santiago.
When is the best time to visit Santiago
While the best time to visit Santiago entirely depends on your planned itinerary, the weather is most pleasant from September to November and from March to May, respectively, in spring and fall. In both spring and fall, the average temperature is around 68 to 77°F (20-25°C), although it can also drop to 46°F (8°C).
Conversely, if you fancy colder weather after a winter sports-filled adventure in the mountains, the best time to visit Santiago is from June to August, when the average temperatures range from 37 to 64°F (3-18°C).

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âVi anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten tvĂ„ gĂ„nger medan vi var i Thailand. Extremt snabb och effektiv kundservice. BĂ€sta pris som erbjuds i Chiang Mai för resorna. Artiga, punktliga, professionella och engelsktalande chaufförer. Rena, bekvĂ€ma fordon. Som en regelbunden besökare i Thailand var detta den bĂ€sta servicen, utan tvekan. Mycket nöjd med företaget. Jag hoppas att det bibehĂ„ller den serviceexcellens som gavs till oss.â
