Well, yeah, we do have some very nice cities here in Latin America, don't we? From the chaos of Rio, going through Santiago's tranquility all the way to Lima's superb history. Quite diverse for a bilingual geographic area.

Santiago Santiago is one of the few cities around the World which is less than an hour away from the coast (including a wide variety of resorts) and at the same time from several good ski centres. Other big attraction of the city are the vineyard located around it, producing some of the best wine in the World. Santiago was founded by Pedro Valdivia on its trip from Peru. After a hard voyage, Valdivia was amazed with the beauty of the Valley so he decide to found a city that would eventually become the capital city of one of Latin Americas most prosperous countries. Santiago has the buzz and huz of any large city but as an exception in the continent is a very organize one, counting with one of the best Metro Systems in the region. Santiaguinos take business very seriously which, together with a solid economy, has convinced many large companies and banks to install their regional headquarters here. However not everything in Santiago is so serious and formal,the city is known for its different urban tribes that includes a veriety of suburban cultures. Santiago also hosts many important shows, including concerts, festivals, expositions and street entretainment. image hosted on flickr  Nieve de primavera por sergiogarcia53, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  Santiago de Chile por sergiogarcia53, en Flickr  image hosted on flickr  Santiago de Chile por Ceci Ruano, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  Santiago Nocturno por Manuel Cabezas, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  SANHATTAN por alanpeterwilson, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  metro de Santiago por E-mala, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  Plaza de Armas, downtown Santiago por E-mala, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  chess in la Plaza de Armas por E-mala, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  Centro Gabriela Mistral por E-mala, en Flickr image hosted on flickr  Bellas Artes por E-mala, en Flickr Special thanks to forumer pierolol Fron Santiago, Buenos Aires, Montevideo thread http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...8#post74096918 image hosted on flickr   By forumer Klugermann

 And some historical too! I think santiago have a little of the architecture of every part of the world due to the process of find an identity. It's an aspect very amazing of the city, where you could find some small island of old architecture in the midle of the jungle of cement and glass. We have many examples like lastarria, paris londres, concha y toro, yungay,etc...It's a reality that i really apreciate of my city, it's funny!

No,this neighborhood was built by Enrique Concha y Toro (of the same family), but he was a pioneer of the mining in the central region of chile.
The concha y toro main winery it's located in pirque district (maipo valley, santiago's valley). At 45 min. aprox of the down town of santiago.

Santiago, Chile rocks! It has become a great example of how a city should develop throughout the years and still raising incredible architecture all over its beautiful city.

 Shi* the Drama Queen! Occit NO! is not a conspiration against Caracas...the only reason why I did the first 7 is because from their onwards there are a lot of cities with similar populations: Monterrey, Guadalajara, Guatemala City, Medellín, Cali, Maracaibo, Caracas, Belo Horizonte, Salvador de Bahía, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Porto Alegre, etc. they all have metro populations between 3-5 millions.

Mejor imaginate una ciudad con la arquitectura y elegancia de Buenos Aires, las playas y alegría de Rio, el poder económico y financiero de Sao Paulo, la historia y gastronomía de Lima, el circuito cultural y sistema BRT de Bogotá y la modernidad y el orden de Santiago.
