## About
Santiago sits in a bowl of tectonic drama, flanked by the colossal wall of the Andes to the east and the coastal range to the west. It is a city of sharp contrasts, where glass-sheathed skyscrapers rise alongside colonial plazas, and gritty, bohemian neighborhoods sit just a few metro stops away from manicured, ultra-wealthy enclaves. The air is crisp, the light is brilliant, and the geography is an inescapable part of daily life.
