My Santiago


I like Santiago´s Mountains, are a lovely view. I like Santiago because its outskirts are beautiful, we have the beach of Center Coast at two hours, the snow of Farellones at one hour and the mountains of Maipo River for doing camping, trekking, rafting and others activities at one hour to.   
I like Santiago because in cultural meters we have everything here, compares with others cities of the country, off course, because don´t have comparison with other cities in the world. Here are the most important museums and cultural institutions of the country, the national archives, the national libraries, etc.
I don´t like Santiago´s stress, I don’t like the traffic, neater the smog. I´m disagree with the big cities with really modern neighborhoods and a lot of marginal neighborhoods to pretend to be hidden and covered. I´m disagree with this kind of organization of the urban environment. For changes this situation I´ll make changes in the current tax system, increasing the tax of the big industry. And I´ll changes the street plane for make one more egalitarian, human and kind city.
I recommend to the visitor knows the hills San Cristobal and Santa Lucia, the building of the National Library, the government palace: “La Moneda”, the churches of San Francisco and Merced, the National Museum of Fine Arts, and the Modern Art Museum, the Forestal Park and the Coffee’s neighborhood, includes the detention center located in Street London and “Biográfo” Coffee . Then the Brazil Neighborhood: Concha y Toro Street, Brazil and Yungay squares, and the Quinta Normal Park with their museums. Before follow the tour for Recoleta Neighborhood: with the church and museum Recoleta Dominica and then for the National Cemetery.    
Finally I recommend go out of Santiago for visit Valparaíso and the beaches of the Center Coast
