Pre-COVID my hubby and I took the tram up to get here. The line wasn't bad. We socialized with some kids that practiced their English on us while we were all waiting during a morning trip together. It took maybe 15 minutes to get to the top with a zoo stop in between. It was a great way to see the skyline of the city on the way up and down. When we got to the top, we were excited to see that there were places to eat, use the restroom, and explore from there as well. Wished that the day was clearer though because this entire city is surrounded by the Andes Mountains and it was a photo op I really wanted to get. I just remember first flying into the city, being able to see these mountains from a distance, and being amazed at how it almost hugged the city within it. It was surreal. And they're HUGE. Hard not to feel their presence throughout the entire trip. It was just the beginning of our day in the Parque del Metropolitano as you could continue to either walk or take another cable car across the way. I think a helpful thing to keep in mind is that you can't backtrack with a round trip ticket, but you can get off at any stop along the way and hop back on as long as it continues to progress forward. So we kept the map with us so we could plan which stops were the most important for us to want to hit. It was a really great way to see the city and enjoy free activities throughout our day there. Would absolutely recommend it!

A vista do Cerro San Cristobal é simplesmente incrivel com possibilidade de ver a cidade no mirante, logo depois de subir pelo bondinho do funicular (o ingresso se compra na entrada). O funicular tem como comprar só a ida ou só a volta como também ambos, mas quem quiser ir ao costanera Center, vale a pena comprar só a da ida, assim pegando o bondinho funicular e o teleférico, sair do parque e seguir caminhando em direção ao shopping (não é longe, e a caminhada mesmo para sedentarios, é tranquila). Já quem quiser voltar de onde entrou, fazer a ida e volta. Você pode comprar a passagem em qualquer horario e descer quando quiser até as 18:30, podendo comprar de manhã e usar no ultimo bondinho do dia. Porem é um uso só e individual, se comprar dia tal tem que usar nesse dia tal. E não é possivel reembolsar (talvez em alguns casos, apenas). Na subida do bondinho, tem uma parada no Zoo Nacional do Chile, mas eu não desci lá, custa em torno de 1000 pesos e pode-se ver animais como lhamas que são dificeis de se encontrar em Santiago. Quem descer no Zoo, fique tranquilo que outro bondinho passa por lá e vc pode subir depois de sua visita pra continuar o trajeto ou descer pelas escadas/rampa ao lado. Seguindo o trajeto, outra parada no mirante. E que vista! Dá para ver a cidade, tirar fotos incriveis e ainda comprar alguma bebida como o famoso mote con huesillos por 1000 pesos (tem tambem umas lojinhas depois na descida do teleferico, mas lá ja custavam 2500 pesos cada), usar o banheiro (talvez cobrasse algo em torno de 200-300 pesos ou fosse mesmo até de graça) e dar uma descansada até porque para subir na vista mais acima onde fica o cristo redentor chileno, o San cristobal é só degrau atras de degrau, então acessibilidade é realmente um pouco apertado nesse quesito. O entardecer lá que realmente deve ser bonito, mas como fui cedo, só apreciei a vista, tirei umas fotos e desci porque o dia ainda era longo e tinha muito chão pra andar por ai. Logo ao descer, um pouco antes de chegar ao teleferico, existe um caminho de agradecimentos já que ali é um ponto turistico religioso onde tambem ocorrem missas. E na 7a foto, um local de agradecimentos e lembranças deixadas por muitas pessoas (compararia esse lugar como o Santuario de Aparecida, SP). Desci a escadaria, andei de teleferico e saí rumo ao Costanera. O lugar vale a pena se quiser um visitar um ponto turistico e ainda mais de passagem dita 'obrigatoria' por muitos chilenos e quem já visitou esse lugar. Postei os preços atualizados de abril de 2018 do funicular/teleferico nas fotos. Importante: leve água, oculos de sol, e esteja com calçado confortavel e nunca se esqueça de ficar de olho nos pertences!

St. Christopher Hill (Cerro San Cristóbal) stands nearly 3,000 feet above the rest of Metropolitan Park, a large swath of green space in Bellavista. The hill's height affords spectacular views of the city. To reach the top of the hill, there are couple of options such as; by foot (about a 45-minute walk, involving a 300m change in elevation), by car via the road joining the Santiago Metropolitan Park, by the Funicular de Santiago (located on the North end of Pio Nono in Barrio Bellavista), or by a Teleferico (cable car located northeast at the Oasis station). If you do choose to ride the funicular, keep in mind that the last trip down the hill leaves at 6:45 p.m. A round-trip funicular ride costs 2,000 CLP (about $3.50 USD) for adults and 1,500 CLP (approximately $2.75 USD) for children between ages 3 and 13.

It is something that everyone who visits Santiago should do. I took an uber from my hotel to the hill. My uber ess nice enough to tell me that it's better to be at the entrance than midway. He dropped me at the entrance. You have the choice to go all the way up in the cable car to the Chapel or you can walk. I suggest you walk up to see the views. It was something else. It does checks your stamina if you don't walk or work out. There are guards after every km where you can check the way or ask any questions. Had a traditional empanadas and mote con huesillo on the top. While on the way down I chose the cable car. It was cheap and the best way to descend. Overall I enjoyed the hike and the views.
