visiting santiago

I'm santiaguino, and sometimes it is hard to accept, especially when i share with people from province and it gets so evident that this city is a monster, and its people seem to be monsters too. running so fast, with no respect, always busy, never relaxed, angry because of traffic, because of the noise, sad because of pollution, because of the lack of green open spaces, because of this strange "global city rythm".
But hidden in this mess of concrete and traffic there are some places that i woudl recommend to the tourist that wish to take the risk of visiting santiago. like beautiful old neighborhoods like concha y toro, the natural parks around the mountains like Quebrada de Macul, and the classic San Cristobal hill.
Despite the bad things of a big city, santiago is a confluence of many arts and culture circuits that have to be enjoyed by the visitors.
The top five attractions to be visited in santiago are:
1. Cerro San Cristobal, here you will enjoy nice walks around forests, a panoramic view of the city from the top of the hill, or you can make a bike circuit and finish drinking an iced mote con huesillo, or have a picnic in the botanic garden.
2. Parque Forestal, is a very beautiful park along the mapocho river with many old trees, but the major attraction is the museum of fine arts and the museum of contemporary arts, right in the middle of the park, and in sundays, mostly in summer, there is a beautiful street market where you can find the most strange clothes and accesories.
3. Matuc
