On our similar lists, the capital of the country isn’t often highly ranked, but Santiago managed to top the best places to retire in Chile. You’ll probably get the best healthcare in the country here, while also being in proximity of International Airport that will take you to the United States. Santiago is the center of Chile’s cultural, sport and economic life, so there will always be something to see and do. The recommendation doesn’t go just for the city itself but the whole surrounding area, where you can find some quieter and smaller towns but still be close to the action.
