| Santiago (22 Hotels options in Santiago) |  | Santiago is an architectural collage of old Spanish colonial charm, European elegance, and North American suburbia, populated with five million amiable Chileans. However, the city lacks the Indian markets prevalent in other Andean countries. In the city's center there are pedestrian malls with cobblestone walkways lined with shopping galleries, fountains, cafes, movie theaters, ice cream shops, and banks. There is an intense activity in the arts and also an exciting nightlife. |
| Puerto Varas - Puerto Montt (10 Hotels options in Puerto Varas - Puerto Montt) |  | Puerto Varas is a nineteenth century port, situated at 12 miles north of Puerto Montt, on Lake Llanquihui, that faces the white cone of the Osorno Volcano. Renowned as one of the most beautiful trips in the area, Puerto Varas sits at the banks of the lake crossing from here to Argentina (Bariloche), sailing through emerald lakes and winding roads across the Andes mountain range.
