Santiago, is the capital and largest city of Chile, cityscape, Mapocho River, Andes Mountains
Santiago, is the capital and largest city of Chile as well as one of the largest cities in the Americas. It is the center of Chile's 156 156largest and the most densely populated conurbation. The city is entirely located in the country's central valley, at an elevation of 520 m (1,706 ft) above mean sea level.
Founded in 1541, Santiago has been the capital city of Chile since colonial times. The city has a downtown core of 19th century neoclassical architecture and winding side-streets, dotted by art deco, neo-gothic, and other styles. Santiago's cityscape is shaped by several stand-alone hills and the fast-flowing Mapocho River, lined by parks such as Parque Forestal. The Andes Mountains can be seen from most points in the city. These mountains contribute to a considerable smog problem, particularly during winter. The city outskirts are surrounded by vineyards and Santiago is within a few hours of both the mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Santiago is the cultural, political and financial center of Chile and is home to the regional headquarters of many multinational corporations. The Chilean executive and judiciary are located in Santiago, but Congress meets mostly in nearby Valparaíso. Santiago is named after the biblical figure St. James.V cityscape, Mapocho River, Andes MountainsCommerce[edit]
The bulk of Chile's industrial and commercial activity is concentrated in the national and regional capital of Santiago, but there are important farm-supply, marketing, and processing activities at San Bernardo (location of major railroad shops), Puente Alto (a paper- and gypsum-processing center), Melipilla, Talagante, and Buin. Dairy and beef production are significant; the main crops are grains, grapes, potatoes, and beans. Copper, gypsum, and limestone are mined. Marketing is facilitated by the proximity of urban centers, by main-line railroad communications, and by the best-developed regional road system in Chile.
Santiago is Chile's retail capital. Falabella, Paris, Johnson, Ripley, La Polar, and several other department stores dot the mall landscape of Chile. The east side neighborhoods like Vitacura, La Dehesa, and Las Condes are home to Santiago's Alonso de Cordova street, and malls like Parque Arauco, Alto Las Condes, Mall Plaza (a chain of malls present in Chile and other Latin American countries) and Costanera Center are known for their luxurious shopping. Alonso de Cordova, Santiago's equivalent to Rodeo Drive or Rua Oscar Freire in São Paulo, has exclusive stores like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Emporio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Ermenegildo Zegna, Swarovski, MaxMara, Longchamp, and others. Alonso de Cordova also houses some of Santiago's most famous restaurants, art galleries, wine showrooms and furniture stores. The Costanera Center has stores like Armani Exchange, Banana Republic, Façonnable, Hugo Boss, Swarovski, and Zara. There are plans for a Saks Fifth Avenue in Santiago. Several mercados in the city sell local goods. Barrio Bellavista is where some of the most exclusive night clubs and chic cafes are located.

Santiago - Pucón (Ruta 5)
Santiago – Pucón (Ruta 5)
6-8 October 2017
Our Patagonia Trip started in Santiago. I know Santiago is not part of Patagonia. However we had to pick up the camper in Santiago.
The pick-up of the camper took several hours. After some shopping we only had time to reach Isla de Maipo. All of the campsites were still closed in Isla de Maipo. We camped on a closed campsite.
The next day we continued on the Ruta 5. We wanted as fast as possible to Pucón. We considered Pucón as the beginning of Patagonia. The Ruta 5 is a highway and very good to drive. No traffic jams at all! You only have to do a payment in every 40 km. That takes time unfortunately.
We camped on the parking of the Copec gas station on Ruta 5 close to Lautaro. Not looking for a campsite spends a lot of time and you can eat and drink something in the restaurant. You can even take a hot shower!
The third day is was only a couple of hours drive to Pucón. We took a break in Villaricca hoping to see the Villaricca Vulcano. We had no idea where the Villaricca volcano had to be. Anyway, it was too cloudy to see it.
In Pucón we searched again for a campsite. We needed electricity. And we found it!
