SOUTH AMERICA SANTIAGO · CHILE

Santa Lucía Hill

Climb the landscaped paths, stone stairways and terraces of the small hill where Santiago was founded in 1541.

What to expect

Cerro Santa Lucía sits between Alameda and the Lastarria neighbourhood. Its paths rise through planted terraces to the Caupolicán and Neptuno terraces, with a city panorama at the top. The ascent uses stairs and sloping paths, so it is not a level stroll.

Free public park
