Santiago is easily one of the most beautiful cities in South America. Its central location in Chile assures it of a very temperate climate, similar to the climate of Los Angeles, or Sydney. The view of the Andes Mountains in the background is breathtaking. Over 5 million peoiple live in the city which is more than 1/3 of the total population of the nation. Upscale neighborhoods such as Providentia are on a par with any in the world.
