8. Parque Forestal

Santiago's city planners built this expansive and welcoming preserve along the Mapocho River as a bastion from the neighboring concrete jungle for residents and visitors alike. A variety of flora and fauna is planted here and draws scores of people on weekends for relaxing walks and people-watching. The park is also home to the Estacion Mapocho train station and is just a short jaunt from nearby dining, shopping and sightseeing destinations. Take a couple of hours to sightsee here on nice days and escape the bustle of the city.   (© 10Best)
