A bird's eye view of Santiago's Parque O'Higgins.

Santiago is absolutely full of parks and plazas, ranging from quite large to rather small areas. No matter the size though, it seems you're always nearby a nice place to sit and enjoy the moment.

Estación Central is the name of a municipality, a neighborhood, a market, a metro station and also Chile´s main railway terminal. Designed by Gustave Eiffel —yes, the same person as Paris´ Eiffel Tower— the station was declared a national monument in 1983, and for many years, was our capital´s main entryway.
