what is the altitude of santiago chile
The Andes run all the way through Chile from top to toe, but many people use Chileâs capital Santiago as a handy jumping-off point. Santiago is only at an altitude of 520 metres so it certainly shouldnât cause you any problems with altitude sickness. Itâs higher up than New York at around 10 meters and London at 9 meters, but travellers from Canberra - at 571 metres - will actually be lower in Santiago than back at home.
