  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Santiago is a city that has incredible access to mountains, rivers and beaches, making any of them feasible as a day trip. Particularly, there are several access points into the Andes that make them easy to get to by public transportation, including the Sendero de Chile, El Naranjo, Cajón de Maipo and other nearby access points. Non-hikers may enjoy mountainboarding, while winter sport lovers will choose skiing in the winter months, from June to September. Picnicking and barbecues are popular among Chileans as are pick-up soccer games in the parks. Both road and mountain biking (with a focus on downhilling) are also quite popular, and there are several trails on easily-accessible Cerro San Cristobal. Beach lovers need only head to the coast, with a variety of spots to choose from, at about an hour and ten minutes to a couple of hours away all making decent day or overnight trips, though of course these areas have plenty more to offer visitors who give them more time. However, unless you're very used to cold water, you probably won't want to get in more than about knee-deep. For warmer water head to the north of Chile.
