Santiago de Chile is a cosmopolitan city with plenty of cultural and tourist attractions as well as having beaches and mountains close enough to enjoy. Start your visit to the city by taking a funicular ride to the summit of Cerro San Cristóbal for views across town and out to the Andes. When you've finished exploring the city use your rental car in Santiago de Chile to take a gentle tour of the surrounding countryside, stopping at the Cousino Macul vineyards for a wine tasting tour. Spend another day heading into the Cerro Provincia for some hiking or skiing or enjoy a gentle cruise in your rental car to the beaches at Vina del Mar or the thermal springs of Rancagua.
