What is Sky Costanera?
The observation floors on the 61st and 62nd floors of Gran Torre Santiago, part of the Costanera Center complex in the Providencia business district. At about 300 m, the tower is the tallest building in South America, and the deck gives a 360° view of Santiago's sprawl, the Andes to the east and the coastal range to the west.

When are the Andes clearest?
The day after a rainstorm is usually the clearest of all, as rain washes the smog away.

Mistakes to avoid

What you'll see
Sky Costanera is on floors 61 and 62 of the Gran Torre Santiago, about 300 m up, the tallest building in South America. The top deck is open to the sky, behind high glass panels, and the 360-degree view takes in the whole of Santiago's valley.
- The Andes: the snow-capped range to the east, often dramatic in winter and spring.
- Cerro San Cristóbal: the hill with the Virgin statue and the cable car.
- Cerro Santa Lucía and the historic centre: to the west.
- The Mapocho River and Providencia: the green corridor below.
- At night: the city lights stretching across the valley.
Combining it with Santiago
Costanera Center is a huge shopping mall with restaurants, so it's easy to combine with a meal. For a full day, go up Cerro San Cristóbal by funicular in the morning for the classic view, visit La Chascona, Pablo Neruda's house in Bellavista, and come to Sky Costanera in the late afternoon for the light and the city at sunset.
With children and accessibility
Children under 5 go free, and the glass panels make the deck safe for families. The visit is short, so it suits younger children. The lifts and decks are accessible, though the top deck has a few steps in places: ask staff for the step-free route.
Is Sky Costanera worth it?
Yes, on a clear day: the view of the city against the Andes is spectacular. On smoggy days, go up Cerro San Cristóbal instead or wait for a clearer day.
