The Metropolitan Park is a through and through nature-lovers spot where people take solace in its green pastures, get familiar with animals at the national Zoo and admire Santiago’s cityscape at the summit located at the peak of the hill.

Fun funicular rides are easily available which keep you engaged even on your journey to the summit and a small church welcomes you at the top while offering a view like no other in the city.

The park itself is loved for its close-to- nature charm and many activities are held here to build a sense of healthy community.
