What to pack for Santiago

When you are to pack, you need to identify which season you will be traveling in. Santiago always tends to be colder 15 - 20 celsius, because of the andes around the city. 

1#Sunglasses 

When you go to the ski resorts, (on the andes) the snow tends to be very strong to the eye senses, so you need sunglasses for your own protection

#2 Shoes

Take comfortable walking shoes (the best way to know the city, is by walking) but also buy a snow boot. In the city, they tend to be more expensive 

#3 Jeans

Take all jeans possible! The city is known for its cold weather, you will feel comfortable to walk, and will not feel cold. 

#4 Jackets

Bring comfortable jackets (preferably waterproof ones) that you will be able to walk all day with it, and not feel cold

#5 Medication 

Bring medication with you! Even the city being cold, makes the air be super dry, you can get sick quite easily if you don't take care of yourself.
