Fodor's Review:

The middle stop on the teleférico deposits you in the center of Parque Metropolitano. The main attraction here in summer is the delightful Piscina Tupahue, a 46-meter (150-foot) pool with a rocky crag running along one side. Beside the pool is the 1925 Torreón Victoria, a stone tower surrounded by a trellis of bougainvillea. If Piscina Tupahue is too crowded, try the nearby Piscina Antilén. From Plaza Tupahue you can follow a path below to Plaza de Juegos Infantiles Gabriela Mistral, a popular playground.

  • Cost: Park free, Piscina Tupahue 4,500 pesos, Piscina Antilén 5,500 pesos
  • Open: Nov.-Mar., Wed.-Mon. 10-7
  • Metro: Pedro de Valdivia, Baquedano
