It was a great ride up to the top of the hill in a very old tram. The view was fantastic, we were lucky to have a clear afternoon. On the way uo is the zoo. We did not gothere this time but it is worth a visit.

I would love to visit on a clear day but those seem to be few. I still am glad I went up, take the funicular it's cheap and easy.

This is a definite ‘must do’ while you are visiting Santiago, whether it is a foggy/smoggy day or not! We chose to take the funicular up and down, which we thought was good value for money as it saved our legs!

Walk it, hike it, cycle it, or just sit down somewhere and enjoy the quiet. Its beautiful and well-kept. Fantastic views. Lovely flowers.....and it's free!
