The mountainous surroundings of Santiago have a lot to offer all year round.<\/p>\n<p>The infrastructure in the mountain region will be improved and additional services will be offered to make the best use of these opportunities. The national institution CORFO therefore launched a five-year <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/andesstgo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project<\/a> with the aim of promoting the <strong>development of the mountain area around Santiago into an international tourist destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The metropolitan region is to become an attractive destination for mountain sports, with or without snow, 365 days a year. The current offer includes five ski and mountain centres, seven nature parks and the natural monument El Morado, which is located about 2.5 hours by car from Santiago in Caj\u00f3n del Maipo. The local geopark is also currently applying for inclusion in the UNESCO Geopark Network.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10912\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/reiten-Cajon-del-Maipo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/reiten-Cajon-del-Maipo.jpg\" alt=\"Cajon del Maipo\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/reiten-Cajon-del-Maipo.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.chile-reise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/reiten-Cajon-del-Maipo-578x330.jpg 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Horse riding in Caj\u00f3n del Maipo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Interested in getting to know Santiago&#8217;s surroundings?
