Work place

Santiago, the capital of Chile, is the heart of the nation with almost 6 million inhabitants and one of the most important financial metropolises in Latin America. The city has many faces in both cultural and architectural terms. Traditional neighborhoods, well-tended mansions and colonial buildings compete with modern office complexes, bold skyscrapers and the modern metro system. You will find modern shopping centers, but also small noisy street markets with Indian handicrafts.

From Santiago there are numerous outdoor opportunities within an hour, such as climbing, rafting, bathing in hot springs or trips to several ski areas (June-September). The Pacific coast is also only an hour away. Many Santiaginos use the proximity of nature in the summer (December-February) to escape the noise of the big city for a weekend and go to the mountains or to the beaches.
