Every year, thousands of Argentinians and Brazilians cross the Andes to spend a few days in Santiago de Chile, a clean, modern city surrounded by the stunning Andes Mountains. Just a short flight from Buenos Aires or São Paulo, Santiago has become one of South America’s most attractive urban destinations — perfect for combining relaxation, gastronomy, shopping, and nature all in one trip.
✈️ 1. A quick and easy getaway
Santiago is a nearby, well-connected destination. There are daily direct flights from Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Córdoba, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and other major cities, operated by airlines like LATAM, Sky Airline, and JetSmart.
In less than two hours from Argentina, or around four from Brazil, you can land in a city that truly has it all: culture, great food, and unique scenery.
Moreover, the price-quality ratio in accommodation and dining is excellent — especially for visitors seeking a high-end experience at competitive prices.
🏔️ 2. A city between mountains, wine, and urban life
Santiago’s surroundings are breathtaking: a modern capital ringed by mountains, with vineyards less than an hour away and snow in winter just a few kilometers further.
During the day, you can hike up San Cristóbal Hill, explore the Lastarria neighborhood, or visit one of the world’s most famous wineries, like Concha y Toro or Undurraga. And by sunset, enjoy a glass of Chilean wine with views of the Andes.
If you’re into adventure, Cajón del Maipo offers spectacular landscapes, natural hot springs, and scenic hiking routes just over an hour from downtown.
🛍️ 3. Shopping and gastronomy: Santiago’s new attraction
Shopping tourism has become one of the main reasons Argentinians and Brazilians visit Santiago.
Malls such as Costanera Center, Parque Arauco, and Alto Las Condes feature top international brands — often at lower prices than in other parts of the region.
And when it comes to food, Santiago has a vibrant culinary scene: from signature restaurants and fusion cuisine to local “picadas” and charming bars in neighborhoods like Bellavista, Lastarria, and Providencia.
🏡 4. Accommodation with local style and comfort
Many travelers choose to stay in tourist apartments or aparthotels for the comfort, privacy, and location they offer.
At Apartamentos Costanera Centre, our guests enjoy fully equipped apartments in El Golf, Providencia, and Las Condes — three of Santiago’s safest, most modern, and best-connected neighborhoods.
They’re just steps from Costanera Center, South America’s largest shopping mall, surrounded by cafés, parks, and restaurants. It’s the perfect choice for both short getaways and longer stays.
“Feeling at home while discovering one of South America’s most beautiful capitals” — that’s the spirit we want to share at Apartamentos Costanera Centre.
🌅 5. Santiago: a complete experience
The best thing about Santiago is its balance — urban life, nature, and culture in one place. You can ski in the morning and have lunch on a terrace overlooking the city in the afternoon.
Whether you’re traveling for leisure, shopping, or a romantic getaway, Santiago always has something new to discover.
