Santiago
Santiago de Chile, is a particular place to live, because it´s de capital of this country, and for this reason is a very complex city. 


First, nobody can deny that Santiago is the central point of bureaucracy, something that is a matter of discussion in the context of geopolitic administration of our territory, as also an indisputable fact. In second place and very related with de previous point, Santiago is also the most important chilean bussines center and even one of the most important of the sudamerica, with districts such as "Center of Santiago"  ubicated in the center of the commune called Santiago Centro; "Sanhattan"  in the limit of the communes Vitacura, Providencia and Las Condes; or "Ciudad Empresarial", ubicated in Huechuraba; without mentioning the industries ubicated in communes such as Cerrillos, Maipu or Pudahuel. However this is not the most interesting to me, the part most interesting of Santiago to me, is the "Historical center", because this part it´s evidence of the foundational period of the city and the colonial life in this, and for me it´s very important, especially to realize an "Histórical Archaeology", and in this way, study if example, the interaction between aboriginal population and the Spanish conquers; or in the other hand, study the social relationship between different groups of colonists.

Santiago lamentably have many crime issues, in the other hand, this is the problem of the many big cities of Chile and Sudamerica. Therefore the changes that I would make to Santiago, are de same changues that I would make to Chile in general, solve the crime issues, because this affect the daily life of the city, and therefore affect its inhabitants and visitors. 

Finally, my tips for the visitors are in general, that obviously with caution, try to visit the city without recourse to a package tour or city tour, because this package are (for me) very artificial and not represent the histórical essence of Santiago
