Like many Latin American cities, Santiago de Chile is defined by its coexisting contrasts: colonial and modern architecture, energizing street scenes and quiet parks, elegant shopping and earthy markets, exciting nightlife and romantic restaurants and so on. With ski slopes and beaches at a short distance and all that a world capital has to offer on a daily and nightly basis, Santiago de Chile is a stimulating and exhilarating place to study Spanish and learn about Chilean culture.
