Santiago Metropolitan Park, Urban park in Santiago, Chile
Santiago Metropolitan Park spans over 737 hectares across multiple hills including San Cristóbal, Chacarillas, and Los Gemelos, offering recreational spaces and natural environments.
The park's establishment began in 1922 when authorities transformed San Cristóbal Hill into a public space, following the installation of Mills Observatory in 1903.
A prominent statue of the Virgin Mary stands at the summit of San Cristóbal Hill, marking the religious sanctuary inaugurated in 1908.
Two outdoor swimming pools, Tupahue and Antilén, provide recreational facilities during summer months, while a funicular and cable car system facilitate transportation.
The National Zoo within the park houses thousands of animals from 158 species and maintains research programs for native Chilean wildlife.
