Santiago (also known as Santiago de Chile) is the capital of Chile and the largest city in the country. It has a population of around 7 million people, about 40 percent of the population of Chile. In Chile, people call the city Gran Santiago (Greater Santiago) or Santiago.
With its geographical conditions, because it is located in a valley surrounded by the Andes mountains, Santiago has a large amount of air pollution.
