San Cristobal Hill is one of the most popular leisure spots in the Metropolitan Park of Santiago de Chile. We'll discover its history and landscapes in this unforgettable day trip.

San Cristobal Hill Day Trip Details

We'll begin this tour of San Cristobal Hill by meeting up at the entrance located on Pío Nono Street. There, we'll hand you a pass that will allow you to ride the funicular, buses, and cable car of the Metropolitan Park for the whole day.

After a brief introduction of the park's history, we'll start touring one of its most outstanding places: the famous San Cristobal Hill. We'll first visit the sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception, with a chapel and a beautiful set of religious sculptures as the highlights.

Next, we'll take the cable car up the San Cristobal hill to enjoy magnificent panoramic views. This aerial route will take us to the Tupahue station. Here, we'll see the great pool that bears the same name and, after learning about its history, we'll descend by bus or cable car to the Oasis station on the hill.

Then, we'll take a walk around this last station and continue our tour of the San Cristobal hill in the Japanese Garden. In this Japanese-inspired space, we'll enjoy a floral ensemble that will undoubtedly transport us to the distant lands of East Asia.

Finally, our tour of the hill will come to an end in the Japanese Garden. From there, if you wish, we can accompany you back to the Oasis station.

Once there, with the transport pass that we gave you at the beginning of the tour, you'll be able to move around San Cristobal Hill and the other areas in the Metropolitan Park of Santiago at your leisure. Please note that the entire park closes at 7 pm.

Inside the park, you'll have the chance to enjoy several attractions, such as the zoo or the Tupahue and Antilen pools, at your own pace.

Tour Options

When booking, you can choose between 2 options:

2.5–hour tour: ideal if you're short on time. Over 2.5 hours, we'll cover the essential highlights of Cerro San Cristóbal. The itinerary ends at the Japanese Garden trail.
4–hour tour: this option covers all the stops in the full itinerary. After visiting the Japanese Garden, we'll continue to Plaza México, take the Pío Nono cable car, and make our way up to the zoo.
