Santiago
The Andean capital — wine valleys and cordillera light.
— Journey —
Jet 2 h from Buenos Aires
Santiago de Chile lies beneath the snow-line of the Andes, a sophisticated capital of glass towers and old-world barrios where the cordillera fills the eastern sky. FFGR Argentina coordinates seamless cross-Andean service: a private jet from Buenos Aires lands at the city airport, and a partner chauffeur drives you onward to the W or the Ritz-Carlton in the elegant Las Condes district. We arrange private cellar visits in the Maipo and Casablanca valleys, the funicular ascent of Cerro San Cristóbal, and the dramatic two-hour descent to the Pacific at Valparaíso and the seaside estates of Zapallar. For skiers, the slopes of Valle Nevado and Portillo are within reach in winter; for collectors, the contemporary galleries of Vitacura repay a quiet afternoon.
