Actually there is a free transfer from the San Antonio bus terminal to the cruise passenger terminal and San Antonio is a much less crowded and more relaxed city than Valpo. For lodging, I recommend nearby Santo Domingo, an old rich community whose original design around 70 years ago was based on Palos Verdes, California.

Great, will definitely try to do this and get on the metro. Will watch out for pick pocketers. If we only have the day, would you reco this as the top place to see in Santiago? I don' t know how long the visit will be but also imagine we might be a bit tired from the overnight flight so i don't see myself running all over the city. thanks for all the tips!

Will be headed to Santiago in Jan and then on a cruise to Antarctica. We have one day in Santiago after a red eye but if we are feeling up to it, would love to do a little sightseeing. Are there any must sees that you recommend? For neighborhood, am considering a highly rated boutique hotel in Providencia but if there are other neighborhoods that would be more convenient/better to sightsee, am totally open to suggestions. Thanks!
