Real Gap's Chile Highlights
Santiago
Santiago the capital of Chile, is the fifth largest city in South America. Santiago is also the central point of a region filled with attractive sites and activities. Only 60 km away are the main South American ski centers, and the beautiful beaches of the Pacific are only an hour's drive to the northwest. Just south of Santiago lie the rich and beautiful vineyards of the Maipo Valley, one of the world's most esteemed wine producing regions.
On a gap year in Chile you can learn Spanish at our Santiago Language School or work as a volunteer on our Santiago Orphanage Project. Offering your skills as a volunteer in Chile is a great way to give something back to this amazing country.
Santiago sights - San Cristobal Hill
The summit of this hill offers stunning views of the city, and it can be reached via a railway.
Santa Lucia Hill

Ski Areas
Valle Nevado and Portillo ski centers, both among the finest skiing centers in the world, are conveniently located to Santiago. Portillo, a past host of world championship alpine events, has also been the site of a number of downhill speed records.
