Providencia
is home to a large upper-middle-class population and it holds the
region's highest percentage of population over 60 (21.51%). It
contains many high-rise apartment buildings as well as a significant
portion of Santiago's commerce.
Providencia
includes Barrio Suecia, area filled with pubs and nightclubs, and
Barrio Bellavista, a bohemian area populated with artists and
performers. The latter lies in the shadow of Cerro San Cristóbal,
a prominent hill in the city topped by a 22m statue of The Virgin
Mary. The north of Providencia is its financial and commercial
district, while the remainder of it contains high-priced residential
development.
Other
notable areas of interest in Providencia include the Metropolitan Zoo(against

that transports people from the foot of Pedro de Valdivia Avenue to
the top of San Cristóbal Hill), several television networks,
