The second Pit Stop for THE AMAZING RACE Teams is Santiago de Chile, a modern metropolis located at the foot of the snow-capped Andes Mountains. The fifth largest city in South America, Santiago is the capital of Chile, as well as its historic, economic and cultural center. The city is made up of 32 distinct neighborhoods. A mix of old and new architecture, it’s common to see a shiny skyscraper towering over a 200-year-old colonial-style building. Wide, tree-lined streets, parks, cafes, monuments and museums give Santiago a somewhat European feel, but the friendly Chilean people remind you that you’re still in South America. Very few speak English, so it’s the perfect place to practice your Spanish. Located just an hour from world-class ski resorts, beautiful beaches and wineries, this unique Latin American city has something for everyone.
