Cerro Chacarillas, Mountain summit in Santiago, Chile

Cerro Chacarillas rises 796 meters above sea level in Santiago's metropolitan area, forming part of an extensive mountain range with San Cristóbal Hill.

The summit gained political significance on July 9, 1977, when Augusto Pinochet delivered a speech about Chile's future governance to 77 selected young supporters.

The mountain carries three names across different languages: Chacarillas in Spanish, Tung Pawe in Mapudungún, and Centinela in Quechua, reflecting Chile's linguistic heritage.

The location offers direct access to hiking trails and connects to the Metropolitan Park of Santiago, with multiple entry points from Providencia and Vitacura districts.

A public swimming pool designed by architect Carlos Martner once operated at the site, featuring terraced areas that provided views across the Santiago valley.
