View from Mirador El Hundimiento (Cerro San Cristóbal) over the Barrio Alto in NE direction. This NE part of the Santiago metropolitan area has evolved since the early 20th century, and is the home of economically privileged people and upper class services. The municipality of Las Condes with the 300 m tall Gran Torre de Santiago (later renamed to Gran Torre Costanera) is shown in the right centre of the image.
