💡 Travel Tips
- • Get a Bip! card for metro—can't buy individual tickets, rechargeable at stations
- • Visit Cerro San Cristobal for panoramic city and Andes views—take funicular or hike
- • Day trip to Valparaíso (90 min by bus) or wine valleys (Maipo, Casablanca) highly recommended
- • Avoid peak hours on metro (7-9am, 6-8pm)—extremely crowded
- • Try Chilean specialties: empanadas, pastel de choclo, completo (loaded hot dog)
