Santiago Metro is the cheapest, fastest and not to mention the safest mode of transportation for city-dwellers and even for travellers.

When you are in Santiago, you won't need to worry about extreme temperatures, as this city is well surrounded by beautiful mountains and it boasts a Mediterranean climate. In fact, the entire city is situated within a valley. You would never face temperature above 35 degree Celsius (or 95 degree Fahrenheit) from December to March; you'd face a humid atmosphere with -2 to 13 degree centigrade temperature in winter (June – August), though. The coldest time of the day is Morning time here. City also witness snowing, approximately after every 10 years.
