A
funicular
The quickest way to the summit of Cerro San Cristóbal (Parque Metropoltano) is the funicular , which climbs 284m from Plaza Caupolicán at the north end of Pío Nono. It stops halfway up at the dinky Zoológico Nacional , which houses an aging bunch of neglected animals. It is, however, probably the only place in Chile where you are assured a glimpse of the dinky pudú deer, Chile's national animal. Near the top of the funicular is the Terraza Bellavistawhere there are extraordinary views across the city.
