Fodor's Expert Review Parque Arauco
This North American–style shopping center with outdoor plazas and fountains has an eclectic mix of designer boutiques, including clothing outlets like Benetton, Ralph Lauren, and Laura Ashley. Chile's three largest department stores—Falabella, Ripley, and Almacenes París—sell everything from perfume to plates. The trendiest shops are mostly in the outdoor boulevard, which also has a wide selection of restaurants. There's a free shuttle service from several Santiago hotels, which is handy, as it is not metro-accessible.
The view of the mountains from this mall's upper floors and plazas are spectacular, especially after rain.
