Mall Costanera Center — Attraction in Providencia

…….Wow! What a Giant Shopping Mall which also houses the Tallest Building in Latin America as its reputed to be. It has a Look-Out floor for the public to view Panoramic Views of Santiago but rather a bit very price-ii at $15000 peso per adult! There are six-levels of shops, shops and more shops. On the sixth level is where all the Eateries are loads of snazz-ii posh restaurants offering different culinary dishes from various cultural back-grounds such as Italian, Portuguese, Argentinian, Chinese etc, etc. At the back of this is where the amazing-lii very large food court is to be found again with a countless amount of stalls to choose from even the more popular American franchise brands such as Mc Café (McDonald's), Burger King and KFC are here and many more unknown brands that we are unfamiliar with! Cine Planet is right here the Movie-House complex! The Atrium area of the centre is beautified with very tall Palm-trees lit-up with clear Christmas lights! There is a beautiful Water-Fall feature here water running down a glass face with coloured lights projected onto it to make it more interesting and prettii! On the ground floor at one entrance is a Hard-Rock Café we even uncounted the first ever LATAM office. JUMBO the big departmental store is also housed in this centre offering everything from water to clothing and the best for us was that you could buy deboned pork-ribs here! This is a must visit place when in Santiago de Chile even the Underground Rail station is near-by linked with Sky-walk as you immerge from the underground just short walk away you get the stairs of the walk-way!.....We spent many cool & exciting moments here!..............NB! Nice clean & neat Rest-Room facilitii's...

A 5-star review for Costanera Center in Santiago, Chile:

The Costanera Center is an awe-inspiring architectural marvel that offers an unparalleled experience in Santiago. As the tallest building in the city at a towering 300 meters, it provides a bird's-eye view of the entire metropolis that is truly breathtaking. The panoramic vistas from this height are simply astonishing, offering a unique perspective on the urban landscape below.

Beyond its impressive height, the Costanera Center boasts a multitude of attractions within. The vast mall inside is a shopper's paradise, offering an extensive range of stores and boutiques to explore. From high-end fashion brands to local artisanal shops, there's something for everyone. Additionally, the presence of a super-sized supermarket is a convenient and welcome addition for visitors.

The combination of the stunning view, the diverse shopping options, and the convenience of having a supermarket right there makes the Costanera Center a must-visit destination in Santiago. It's not just a building; it's an experience that captures the essence of the city and offers a comprehensive glimpse into its vibrant culture...

Great place with a lookout and everything. But not worth a visit unfortunately.

Upon leaving, it's impossible to find an Uber, because in Chile they're technically still illegal. So uber drivers don't come here.

We were forced to catch a cab, and then the cab driver actually scammed us $800 on our credit card with a fraudulent charge. Then the trouble is that the Carabineros police didn't want to open a police case because Chile needs physical attendance for victim reports. After we caught our flight back home, we realised it's impossible to open a police case in Chile from overseas. We are still trying to get any action from the police, despite actually having the full name and driver ID of the offender. Truly ridiculous.

Overall this was the worst tourist experience I have personally had in all my travels. It was absolutely not worth visiting Chile for us... and not because crime exists (it exists elsewhere as well) but because it is impossible to get any action from any authority including the police here.

If you're a tourist in Chile reading this, consider not visiting...
