Opening time: Nov 15– March 15, Tues– Sun 10am–6pm
Price: CH$5000
For an afternoon picnic and swimming in the summer months, there is no better place in Santiago than the two huge pools atop Cerro San Cristóbal. The jointly run Piscina Tupahue and Piscina Antilén offer cool, clean swimming and, at 736m above the city, wonderful views. They are not cheap, but are a great escape, fun for families and romantic for couples. Many locals can't afford the entrance fee and peer down from stone walls surrounding the complex. A colectivo from the bottom of the hill costs just CH$300 one way.
