My wife and I walked thru the park three times during our stay in SCL. It is very clean and I felt quite safe the entire time.We are dinner at the mall next to the park one night, and found it to be upscale and nice.

Many stores, nice anchors, theaters, lots of restaurants. Wish there were a few authentic or local food options, most were US chains.Lots of stores including design and home stores.

Away from the center, higher up, seemingly away too from the smog of downtown. Pleasant, spacious. Again, as in the Bicentenario (although less-so) trees are not yet that huge, Still, a good place for a stroll.

During our visit to Santiago, we stayed at the Santiago Marriott in the newer los Condes area of Santiago, east of the old town. It is a beautiful up-and-coming part of the city full of tree-lined streets and striking tall modern buildings. Its central feature is a long stretch of greenspace known as Parque Araucano. This is one of the most lovely inviting urban parks we have ever had the pleasure to enjoy anywhere. It must be 2-3 kilometers long from east to west, and perhaps half a kilometer wide full of broad, well-maintained reach of turf, and thousands of verdant trees offering welcome shade over the hard-packed sand paths for strollers like us, joggers and dog walkers. It features immaculate play fields, fountains, a small aviary, and a skateboard park. There is also a sparkling set of buildings, apparently a sort of science center for kids which we did not enter, although we were attracted by the surprising presence of the forward part of a LAN airliner protruding from one of the buildings.The park is a perfect centerpiece and binding element for the entire modern neighborhood of high-rise offices and apartments, and one which would certainly attract us to live and work in the area if we were lucky to have this in our own country. Well done Santiago!
