Santiago

The capital's grid between the Andes and the coastal range, where century-old bars in Barrio Yungay sit a world from Providencia's towers.

Santiago sits in a bowl between the Andes and the coastal range, close enough to the mountains that a clear day shows snow above the skyline. The city reads differently block by block — Barrio Yungay's 19th-century houses and old-guard bars, Bellavista's restaurants, Providencia's office towers — so which neighborhood a night starts in matters more than the fact that it's technically all the same city.
