Photo Spotlight: Cerro San Cristóbal, Santiago, Chile

In the Bellavista sector of Santiago, Chile, there is a very popular hill called Cerro San Cristóbal.  At the top there is a statue of the Virgin Mary, watching over the city.  It also allows for the best views of Santiago on a clear day, since it is located extremely close to the downtown area.  There is also a funicular that goes up this hill and a zoo that is popular with the locals.  This photo was taken on a small side street in Bellavista looking toward the road to go up into the cerro.
