a 2 year old and I dont think he will last 8 hours in an ariport, Can anyone tell me if there is anything around the airport in Chile or anything that is a close by attraction for us to do within those 8 hours.I am traveling to South America, and we have a layer over of 8 hours in Santiago,Chile...I am traveling with?
Unfortunately, the airport is a little far from Santiago, there's not much around it (besides an airport hotel, in case you want to check that out).
You can take a cab for around 17.000 pesos (30 dollars) to Providencia, which is more or less half an hour away. A nice thing to do might be go to Cerro San Cristobal, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_San_C鈥?/a> which has a cable car and a funicular that go to the top (you can take one going up and the other going down), with nice views of the city if the day is clear and not too smoggy. There are places to walk around, small crafts shops, and the Santiago zoo is in the same hill. Just make sure to take a cab back in time, traffic can be awful...
Another option is taking a cab to Vi帽a del Mar, which is about an hour and a half away, but it might be alittle risky if you only have 8 hours there.
Have a good trip!I am traveling to South America, and we have a layer over of 8 hours in Santiago,Chile...I am traveling with?
you can take the Aeropuerto bus into town which is a lot less than a cab (1400 pesos) (approx-3 dollars)
Cerro San Cristobol would be a good thing to do, there is a zoo, park, and stuff for kids to do.
However, if you are not going anywhere else in Chile, it may just be best to stay at the airport because many foreigners have to pay a reciprocity fee to enter the country (for Americans it is $131)
