Before you go
What the guide flags for older travellers.
- Santiago is manageable with careful planning: newer Metro stations and malls have lifts, but sidewalks are uneven, curbs are steep and the hills have stairs. Choose a hotel with a lift and use ride-hailing between areas. (Accessibility · summary)
- Cerro Santa Lucía: Stairs and steep paths. (Accessibility · fit: poor)
- La Chascona (Neruda's Santiago house): Stairs and narrow rooms. (Accessibility · fit: poor)
