Things to do in Valle Central, Valle Central: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

January 6, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

San Francisco Church

The immense red walls and vast great room leave visitors in awe as this 16th centruy structure is Santiago's oldest building.

Spent about 20 minutes here. Took the metro University of Chile to here and walked a short distance. Free entry. The first stone was laid here in 1586 making it Santiago's oldest surviving colonial building. There is an attached colonial-art museum for a fee.

Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion

Reviewed By CEFJR

Very much worth taking the funicular to the top of Cerro San Cristobal where this statue of Mary is located. there is a small church below the statue and decorated crosses as you walk up to the summit.
