  • It's a steep, interesting drive up the hill. Lovely really. At the top you have a spectacular view of the city.

  • This park is 100 years old and is a super place to spend time if you wish to escape the bustle of downtown Santiago. It’s much busier at the weekend than during the week. The funicular is a fun way....  more

  • Enjoyable ride with great views. It would be perfect if they would be open until sunset though. We had to return from the top just before the golden hour. They are giving importance to safety all the time. If you would like to be in the cabin only as a couple and if you ask them so, they are being helpful and reserving the cabin just for you. It is nice to have the privacy.
  • An easy going oasis in the middle of an urban setting. This is an abundant green space with amazing views of the city. The cable car is a popular experience and there are also roads, paths, and trails that will get you to the top. The road is closed to cars on weekends making it very pleasant for people to enjoy a more spread out walking experience. Went on a Saturday and, while busy, it was still a very calm and quiet day in the park. I'd love to try the spin bike experience at mid-hill and the downhill trail system. The Japanese friendship garden is free as well and will make your day. Parking is limited at the main park and many people walk from the metro or city parking areas a few blocks away.
  • Great overview from most of Santiago. Also a great trek. You will find stunning views from Santiago, mainly near to sunset, besides the park itself. Be sure to have a map with the main attractions both, to avoid be lost as well to use your time in your visit wisely.
  • Great experience! We got the cable car up to Inmaculada and then the Funicular down to Bella Vista for a bite. Highlight of our trip!
  • An enormous family park with astonishing views of the city and excellent infrastructure. Why just three stars? It’s unreasonably restrictive with bicycles, which can only circulate in certain hours, while private cars and service trucks go up and down as they please, sometimes at very high speeds. The guards are also unreasonably aggressive against cyclists, and often treat them as enemies rather than citizens. It often doesn’t feel like a public park. They have giant speakers on public squares reminding people of the park rules at every moment, and in certain hours you can’t even walk up the hill.
