Santa Lucia Hill, or Cerro Santa Lucia, is a historic hill in the heart of Santiago, Chile. It was originally known as Huelén by the indigenous people and later transformed into a beautiful urban park ... in the 19th century by the city's founder, Pedro de Valdivia. Visitors can explore the hill's lush gardens, fountains, and winding pathways, as well as enjoy panoramic views of the city from the top of the hill. Popular activities include visiting the Castillo Hidalgo, an iconic castle on the hill, and exploring the various sculptures and monuments scattered throughout the park. The hill also hosts cultural events and concerts, making it a vibrant hub for local arts and entertainment. The best time to visit Santa Lucia Hill is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the gardens are in full bloom. The hill can get crowded on weekends, so visiting during the week is recommended for a more peaceful experience.
