In Santiago there are many parks where you can spend you day in a relaxing way, so we wanted to show you some beautiful and known parks where you can go while you're in this city.
Parque de las Esculturas.
With it's attractive sculptures and beautiful green scenery, this park-cum-museum is the perfect place to enjoy a pleasant walk alongside the Mapocho river on a temperate summer evening. The sculptures are made out of stone, metal and wood respectively, and rambunctious children often use them as makeshift jungle gyms. The park is also home to a concert hall where national and international stars perform. During the summer months, the hall hosts a series of jazz concerts organized by the local council. Entrance is free.
Here you have some photos of this park, and we also added a map, so you can look the streets around and you can know more about where this park is located.
Parque O'Higgins.
Parque O'Higgins is Santiago, Chile's second largest public park. It is located in the center of the capital, in the Santiago Commune. Measuring some 190 acres (770,000 m²), it is about a fourth the size of Manhattan's Central Park.
The park, named after Bernardo O'Higginns, is a popular place for families to visit during weekends and holidays, especially during the national holiday, when a number of fondas and ramadas —a traditional Chilean place for dancing, eating and drinking— are open to the public for a few days. It's also the place where "Lollapalooza" plays, and beside it, it's located Fantasilandia. Parque O'Higgins is a really nice place to come with friends to spend some hours sitting at the grass, talking about life and other stuff.
Parque Araucano:
It's a park located in Las Condes, which has a long green area with some tables to make a picnik. It has many games, a pool and many trails where you can walk in. Also, you can bring your bike and go riding by the park, just to make something different.This park is amazing, because of it's huge space. If you come to Santiago, you should come to Parque Araucano.
Parque Bustamante:
It's located near to Parque Bustamante Station, so you can take the subway and come to meet this lovely park. It has many games where you and your friends can play, and also has some machines where you can exercise your body. You can walk along the park, and if you want to, you can sit in the benches that are on this park.The "Café Literario" is on this park, so you can drink some coffee while you're watching the people walk by, or you can sit around the pool and just scape from reality.There is a skatepark where a lot of teenagers go to practice their abilities with the bike or the skate.
So, what are you waiting to visit our parks?
