Things to see and do on Santiago.

For a person that's currently livin' on Santiago, it's difficult to find interesting things to do. I mean, with the smog, the noise, the aparrently stressed living way that we constantly see in people I would definitely recommend a tourist tha leave Santiago right away and go travelling every other interesting place that Chile has. But if I must, I would start for telling them that they must go downtown and visit historical Santiago. There you can still find remnants of spanish period of conquest over Latinamerica. Then I would go for Bellavista neighborhood; almost every tourist that come's to chile want's to party and get to meet people. There's no better place to do such things as Bellavista.
Then, in Santiago you should go to metropolitan park and walk around it; you can get a beautiful view of polluted Santiago from it's heights. Moreover, you can go to the zoo and I don't know, get to see the animals they have there.
Another thing that I like a lot here in Santiago is to go to higher zones of the city such as La reina or Peñalolen during night time and find a nice place to see Santiago over night. In many ways, is like to be watching the ocean, only in this case it's a million lights ocean. Anyway it's feels very similar.
Last but not least, I would recommend a tourist to visit Colorado Sky park. I've never been there -not much of a snowsports guy- but I always hear about how great it is and how Chile it's known over the world for it's wonderful places to skiing and snowboarding, so it would be a mistake to not point Snowpark as a place to visit when you are a tourist and decided to come down to Santiago.
