The city is located in the middle of the country’s Central Valley, about 80 km from the Pacific Ocean to the west and borders Argentina to the east. A small component of Argentina is visual in the right corner of the symbol where the Andes mountain range acts as a separator between the two countries.
Cerro El Plomo, 5424 m, is the largest mountain peak visual from Santiago on a transparent day. There are many ski resorts in the snow-capped mountains, as well as viewpoints with stunning views of Santiago.
The Maipo River flows south of the city from the mountains and is the main river flowing through the metropolitan district of Santiago and the Valparaíso region of Chile. The Maipo River is the main source of irrigation and drinking water in the region. The Mapocho River, which flows through downtown Santiago, is one of its tributaries.
The most sensitive part of the symbol is the Los Bronces copper mine and represents one of the largest copper reserves in Chile. Paloma Glacier is located just to the south. Las Tórtolas, visual in the most sensitive part of the symbol, is a synthetic lake used to process copper ore from Los Bronces through an extensive network of pipes.
