The mysterious place in Santiago.

Hi friends.

Thinking about a special place in Santiago I'd like to go, it springs to my mind several landmarks such as La Moneda palace, the Lastarria neighbourhood or the Plaza de Armas. However my favourite and special place all over Santiago is undoubtedly the San Cristóbal hill. This "prominent" icon is located among the municipalities of Recoleta, Providencia, Vitacura and Huechuraba. Additionally, when I always see a satellital picture of the capital of Chile, it is outlined as a green patch to the North East of Santiago, which it's forms a greenbelt.
I hardly ever go there due I've got a tiny spare time during these last months. Nevertheless, I still remember there were times when I went to the San Cristóbal hill very often as with my family as with my friends, mainly in my childhood.
During the last years, I usually go there with my friends from the secondary on Fridays night, first the meetings were instances to have a chance to talk freely about things that happened at school in the working week. However, the last two years we meet there only to talk about our daily lives.
When we are there, we climb the hill only by secret paths hidden by thick forests at night and we usually make a stop in some abandoned places to talk topics about (I remember the last time) topical issues that happened in the country. After the discussion we carry on walking in the gloomy paths until to come to a lookout point. Finally we go down the hill in order to find the way out in the Pedro de Valdivia street.
The last time I was there with my friends was approximately in four months ago.


I specially like this place in Santiago because it's possible to see the city at night.
