The Metropolitan Region is Chile’s smallest region and, at the same time, its most densely populated. It includes the nation’s capital, Santiago, a dynamic, cosmopolitan city. It is the heart of the Chilean economy and has the country’s largest concentration of museums, universities, cinemas, theaters, and stadiums.
The Andes mountains are a point of reference visible from every corner and, in winter, their snow-covered tops form an impressive backdrop just a few kilometers from the city center.
Major tourist attractions in Santiago include, in winter, several ski resorts one to two hours away from the city, and in summer, all kinds of open-air sports can be practiced in the region’s valleys and on its rivers and hills. The capital is Santiago.
