The capital city of developed Chile

by Glorija - last update: Nov 19, 2005

Welcome to Santiago

The city itself
Santiago is the capital and biggest city of Chile with over 5,000,000 people.
Santiago boasts an ideal climate, which explains why 80% of the population lives here. The seasons are well defined, with hot summers (maximum 28ºC to 32ºC (82ºF to 90ºF) in Santiago, one of Chile's warmest cities; fall and spring with cool, pleasant breezes; and short winters with low temperatures, only occasionally dipping below 0ºC (32ºF).
Winter daytime temperatures may reach 18ºC (64ºF) but usually hover around 14ºC (57ºF). Rainfall, generally restricted to the winter months, increases towards the south. Humidity is low, reducing the disagreeable effects of heat and cold.

Chile is not a sporty nation. Except for football-soccer, there are few teams of importance in any sport. Not surprisignly, the Chileans have never won a gold medal. All of that however is changing as a new generation of Chileans is eagerly taking on to.
