What Haqqi Tours arranges in Santiago

In Santiago the site currently lists 4 day tours, 12 private airport transfers, 12 flight tickets and 3 train tickets. Day tours include Cajon del Maipo and San Jose Volcano Hike from Santiago, Cajon del Maipo and Embalse del Yeso Day Trip Santiago, Farellones and Valle Nevado Snow Day Trip from Santiago and Portillo and Laguna del Inca Day Trip from Santiago. Airport transfers run from Santiago Airport to hotels and districts across the city.

Guests usually start with the airport transfer and add a tour or two once they have seen the city; both are booked in the same WhatsApp conversation, and the second booking takes a minute.

Getting to Santiago: the airports

Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport (SCL) is in Pudahuel, about 17 km west of central Santiago, 25 km from Las Condes and 110 km from Valparaiso.

Buses run from the airport to the Pajaritos and Los Heroes metro stations and are the budget option; a private car saves changing at the metro with luggage and is the simple choice for Las Condes, Vitacura, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, or the ski resorts.

Where to stay in Santiago

The areas travellers ask us about most: Vitacura, Barrio Italia, Bellavista, Lo Barnechea, Santiago Centro and Plaza de Armas and Barrio Lastarria.

Wherever you stay, the airport transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door, and tours collect you from the hotel; tell the desk the hotel name and everything is planned around it.

What to see in Santiago

The places most visitors come for: Mercado Central, Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos, Gran Torre Costanera viewpoint, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, Cajon del Maipo, Plaza de Armas and the Cathedral and Cerro San Cristobal and its cable car.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Cajon del Maipo and San Jose Volcano Hike from Santiago, Cajon del Maipo and Embalse del Yeso Day Trip Santiago and Farellones and Valle Nevado Snow Day Trip from Santiago say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Santiago

Worth trying: a completo hot dog, sopaipillas pasadas, mote con huesillo, paila marina seafood stew and empanadas de pino. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

October to April is warm and dry with long days; June to September is cool, sometimes foggy, and brings snow to the ski resorts about two hours east; the coast is busy in January and February.

Good to know before you arrive

Have your address, the flight number and the airline ready; Santiago traffic is heaviest in the morning and late afternoon, and the mountain road to the ski resorts may need snow chains in winter.

Every booking is confirmed by a real person on our WhatsApp desk, in Arabic or English, with the price written down before anything is paid.
