The bulk of Chile’s industrial and commercial activity is concentrated in the national and regional capital of Santiago.Santiago is served by Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport.

The buildings from this period include the Casa Colorada (1769), the Church San Francisco (1586) and Posada del Corregidor (1750). The Cathedral on the central square (Plaza de Armas) is a sight that ranks as high as the Palacio de la Moneda, the Presidential Palace.

San Cristóbal Hill , O’Higgins Park and Santa Lucía Hill.
