Things to do in San Antonio (for Santiago)
San Antonio is your gateway to everything central Chile has to offer: bustling port, coastal towns with big beach energy and Santiago itself, which rolls out the cultural red carpet from beneath the Andes. Santiago cruises drop you into a world of snowcapped mountains, wine-soaked valleys and urban scenes so cool they wear sunglasses indoors. If you’re craving history, art, poetry or just a glass of Carménère in a vineyard that looks like an oenophile’s fantasy, this is your port.

Princess ships dock at the port of San Antonio, about 30 minutes from the city of Santiago… but you’d hardly call it a detour. The port’s industrial look hides a launchpad for wine country, coastal towns and the capital’s architectural swagger. As a major stop along many South American itineraries, it’s no wonder that San Antonio’s port logistics are smooth (this is one of the continent’s busiest cargo hubs, after all); you’ll be off the ship and heading toward La Moneda or the port of Valparaíso faster than you can say “Bacán.”
