UpToWhereWhat can you see from Sky Costanera (Gran Torre Santiago)?
Standing 300 metres tall, it became Latin America's highest observation deck when it opened in 2015.
From Sky Costanera (Gran Torre Santiago), the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 134 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 134 km to the south (bearing 177°), at 3,472 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 2,047,872 terrain samples.

About Sky Costanera (Gran Torre Santiago)
Gran Torre Santiago, known as Sky Costanera, was completed in Santiago, Chile in 2012 at a height of 300 metres, making it the tallest building in Latin America. However, the Sky Costanera observation deck did not open to the public until August 11, 2015, occupying floors 61 and 62 and becoming the highest viewpoint in Latin America. The multi-level observation experience features an enclosed glass-fronted area with 360-degree panoramic views, an outdoor terrace for unobstructed sightlines, and interactive exhibits highlighting Santiago's landmarks and the surrounding Andes mountains.
