Cerro Santa Lucía is a small but mighty hill rising right in the heart of Santiago, offering sweeping views over the city with the Andes often peeking through on a clear day. Standing about 69 meters above the surrounding streets, this historic spot was originally known as Huelén Hill before the Spanish used it as a strategic lookout in the 16th century. Today, you can still see remnants, as the elegant Castillo Hidalgo is tucked into its terraces. Stone staircases, fountains, and leafy paths make it a lovely pause from the city buzz. On his adventure through Chile, tuskesszino carried a penguin stone all the way here and hid a penguin stone at Cerro Santa Lucía, adding a tiny penguin secret to one of Santiago’s most iconic viewpoints.
