Torre Entel

Torre Entel is a 127-meter-tall telecommunications tower that has become an iconic landmark on Santiago's skyline. Located at the intersection of Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins and Amunategui, the tower is a striking cylindrical structure with a futuristic design. While it primarily serves as a communications hub, its observation deck at 110 meters provides sweeping views of the city, the Andes mountains, and the surrounding valleys. The tower is illuminated at night with colorful LED lights, making it a visible beacon across the city. Visitors can ascend via a high-speed elevator and enjoy a 360-degree panorama, with informational panels identifying key landmarks. The area around the tower is lively, with shops, cafes, and the bustling Plaza de la Ciudadanía nearby. Torre Entel is a popular spot for photography, especially at sunset when the light paints the Andes.

A bit of history
