| Overview | [ Top ] | [ Bottom ] |
 | Start your adventure at the best location of Santiago, to be more accurate, the geographic center of the city 'Plaza Italia', in Providencia, one of the safest neighborhoods in Santiago. |  | Footsteps Backpackers Hostel is located at only 130 footsteps (yes, only footsteps) from Baquedano Station of Santiago's subway. But why using the subway?, most of the best attractions of Santiago are at walkable distances! Get the best location without paying more for it! |  | We have the best bars and restaurants in Santiago; art galleries, theaters and craftmanship of the bohemian and amusing neighborhood Bellavista only 5 minutes away. Enjoy the best views from the greatest park of Santiago, the lung of the city, Parque Metropolitano (10 min away). |  | Walking a few blocks West, you will find the impressive Museo de Bellas Artes.
And if you keep walking, will get to Cerro Santa Lucía, called before Huelén by the Mapuche people. In its top, after walking through its cared gardens, you will find Castillo Hidalgo... colonial Santiago in it's essence.
And impossible to forget Barrio Lastarria, known for its amusing night life and its bars, coffee shops, restaurants and theaters. Only Footsteps!!
But our recently renovated Hostel is not only the best location, but we also take care of the room neatness at a daily basis, and we keep the bathrooms in the best conditions at every moment, so you can enjoy a hot shower whenever you want.
Besides of the cleaning and location, in Footsteps Backpackers we are interested that you would also really rest whenever you wish. We are located in a peaceful street isolated from traffic and rooms are apart from common and relaxation areas, so you can have a quiet sleep at any moment.
Not only the neighborhood is one of the safest of Santiago, but also our Hostel. For your safety, we keep a security box to keep your valuables and we have security cameras.
Footsteps Backpackers has a multicultural staff, speaking english, german and portuguese (and several Ghana dialects). We will be concerned that your stay is amusing, pleasant and easy going. We will help you organize your city tours, as well as giving the alternatives to go round Santiago and to the rest of Chile!!
All of the above is complemented by free breakfast included, free Wi-Fi, free internet, free books, free movies in our TV room or relax playing in our pool table or with the Playstation.
We will be waiting for you! |

| Location |
| Providencia is on one of the most traditional, safest and near neighborhoods in Santiago. It is located at walkable distances of every attractions in the City, including Parque Metropolitano, the largest park; Museo de Bellas Artes; Bellavista, the boheme neighborhood; and many others. | | Directions | As we are in the geographic center - the best location - you can get to us almost by every way:
By Bus: from the airport take de CENTROPUERTO bus (about USD 2), it will leave you in Los Heroes Metro Station, then hop on Metro to ‘Baquedano Station’ (Line 1, red one). We are just 130 footsteps from the South exit heading through Ramon Carnicer Street. Get to Almirante Simpson on your right. This is the cheapest way to get to us.
By Shuttle: just by the luggage pick-up ask for us in TurBus Shuttle Service or TransVip. All of them know us as Footsteps Backpackers (ex Hostel Chile). They can provide you transportation to our hostel for about USD 9.
By Taxi: at the airport you can take any taxi to get to Plaza Italia, the geographic center. Be aware, it shouldn’t cost you more than USD 30 the ride (and that’s even a bit high).
By Pick Up: if you do not like any of the means above we will be happy to arrange you door-to-door transportation if you e-mail us in advance (a couple of days will be enough).
Cheers and see you soon! | | Airport | Arturo Merino Benitez, 20 minutes by taxi, 40 minutes by bus. | | |
