Shopping in Santiago

There are plenty of shopping malls in Santiago. The newest one called Costanera Center is located in what’s going to be the tallest building in South America. If you are in the mood of something more authentic, I recommend Patronato, the garment district, where you can find cheap and cool cloths and Korean food. Drugstore, in Providencia, is a great place for designer cloths, decorative items similar to those you would find in museum shops, and books. If you want to see local handicrafts, go to Pueblito de Los Dominicos, in Las Condes, or go in a day trip to Pomaire for clay work and real Chilean food –they have the longest and biggest empanadas de pino in the city.
