This is an incredibly beautifully designed temple that's at the end of a private road up in the hills, which serves as a fantastic lookout point to the entire city of Santiago. Please remember that you need to make an appointment to see the place - thankfully, there are almost always slots available for reservation and the website is pretty instantaneous in issuing you a ticket (which is free). I actually booked my ticket while I was in the cab on the way to the temple and I still got in 😂 But Just to be safe, do it the day before. There will usually be a member of the face present to explain the history behind the temple as well as a little bit about the Baha'i faith. They are all super nice about it (not preachy or weird cult-y so don't worry) and it's all very interesting to learn about. Worth a visit in my opinion. I took an Uber and I was lucky enough to get an Uber back as well because someone was just being dropped off when I was leaving - But otherwise I'm not really sure how easy it is to get public transport up to the place. It's fairly out there in the outskirts of the city.

Partiré por lo bueno, es un sector muy verde, lleno de naturaleza con diversidad de vegetación. En los alrededores se ven muchas aves diferentes volando por todos lados. La cordillera esta imponente por un lado y la ciudad bien lejana por el otro. Pero lastimosamente la administración es bastante precaria. En su sitio web dice que hay que reservar una hora para una visita guiada de 90 min. La guía jamás sucedió, pregunté a un "guía" y no supo que responder ante ello. Solo me ignoraron y nadie dijo nada. La falta de basureros se hace muy presente, ya que solo logre encontrar un basurero en los baños, pero por el sector de arriba absolutamente nada. Los guardias y guías se pasean constantemente por el terreno, pero todos bastante gruñones ya que nadie quiso o supo responder a mis dudas. Lastimosamente el día en el que fuí con mi familia habían personas muy desubicadas quienes se mojaban el cabello en una fuente donde hay flores de loto, hablando fuertemente en el sector donde piden silencio y los guardias y guías que apreciaron todo aquello solo miraban para otro lado sin hacer valer las "reglas" que te imponen antes de subir al templo. Habían unas vallas en ciertas escaleras para evitar el paso, la gente inepta las sobrepasaba igual y los "guías" y guardias que se encontraban justamente frente a dichas escaleras no hacian nada por evitar que las personas no sobrepasaran las vallas, a excepción con el último momento donde se percataron que habia gente donde no debía, por los jardines mas altos. Las personas que asisten a estos lugares turísticos tienen una escasa empatía por los sectores ya que en vez de ser un momento lleno de paz, espiritualidad y descanso del ruido de la ciudad fue todo lo contrario. La geografía del lugar puede hacer difícil la visita de personas que necesiten sillas de ruedas ya que no todos los sectores son aptos y hay muchas escaleras de piedra sin posibilidades de exploración, lo mismo para personas de la tercera edad. Si visitan el templo les recomiendo ir con agua fresca y de lo posible subir y bajar en auto ya que la subida al templo son casi 30/40 min a pie. Dejan subir a los uber, pero de bajada no pueden pedir uno dentro del establecimiento.

We drove up to see the Bahá’í House of Worship for the first time, we had small children with us so we didn't want to get in line to go inside, instead we intended to see the grounds, let the children take it in from the outside and take a few photos. I gave this site a low score because we were told that we could not walk the grounds without getting in line and waiting in a hours long queue. Well needless to say with small children this wasn't going to be a viable option. Shame on you guys for not allowing families to enjoy your facilities without hours long queues in the sun. I'm completely disappointed.

What a cool, unique place to visit in Santiago! The Baha'i Temple is a ways outside of downtown Santiago but a easy Uber ride. Once you are there, you are treated with a truly amazing architectural experience. You also get to drive through some interesting neighborhoods of Santiago. One thing to note is that cell service is not great in this region so be sure to schedule an Uber ahead of time or ask to use their Wifi. There is also a small visitor center (also with amazing design) where you can learn more about Baha'i spirituality. I would note this as a must-see place on your trip to Santiago!

A must see in Santiago! This place has some of the best views of the city!! Once you reach the entrance, you can either walk up or wait for a bus. Walking is around 30-40min, some parts are pretty steep, and be sure to wear sunscreen if it is a sunny day. Once at the temple, there are parking spots for cars and bicycles, a water fountain, bathrooms and tables to seat and relax. It is a good idea to bring food and eat it in the sitting areas. The temple itself is unbelievable, the quality of the building and the materials is amazing, and the gardens and water mirror around it are also stunning.
