Places To Go in Santiago Chile: Parque Quinta Normal

I think that Quinta Normal park, found in Santiago, Chile, is best described with pictures. Scroll through the massive amounts of pictures and if you like what you see, there will be instructions on how to get there are the bottom of this post.

Families, couples, photographers, tourists and exercise freaks alike all hang out at this giant space of green in the concrete jungle that is Santiago, Chile. Any person that travels to Chile should definitely hit up this park before they go. You can relax and get a great taste of Chilean culture while you’re there. If you like to jog, this is one of your best bets to get away from the smog and cars of the city. Also, you can visit el “Museo Nacional,” or the National Museum. Entrance is free until tomorrow (August 15th) so head over soon! Normally it costs just $600 pesos (about 1.20 USD).

To get there, take the metro on the green line towards the metro station Quinta Normal.

Have fun!

Nice pics. Never been to Quinta Normal. Whenever i’m in Santiago i tend to curl up in a corner, whimper and count the hours until i can leave again, although there are a few things about the city that are very slowly growing on me.

hope you don’t mind but i’ve added both your blogs to my slowly expanding list at http://www.bloggersinchile.blogspot.com There’s now a grand total of not very many blogs in the list so if you have any other suggestions let me know, pliiis.

Hi! Beautiful pics. You really do have quite an eye for photography. Also, although these don’t look to played with, you seem to know your way around photoshop, or some other such program. Wish I knew how to do that stuff. I love taking pics, but have a hard time fixing them up.
