Sky Costanera tickets start at $39 for a walking tour that lists deck admission as an option, and $59 for the plain admission ticket, which is also the most reviewed at 4.4 stars from 285 reviews. The deck is on floors 61 and 62 of a tower that is 300 m tall, according to Wikipedia. I’d go about an hour before sunset on a clear day. Book tickets for Sky Costanera with the weather in mind, since cloud cover decides the view.
I compared every Sky Costanera ticket and tour I could find on GetYourGuide: one admission ticket, one walking tour, one cable car combo and two private tours. Prices, ratings and inclusions come from the listings, checked in October 2026, in US dollars. Links open GetYourGuide in a new tab, and I earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
Sky Costanera at a Glance
Sky Costanera is the observation deck at the top of Gran Torre Santiago, the tallest building in South America per Wikipedia. The tower rises behind the Costanera Center mall in Providencia, and the deck opened to the public on 11 August 2015. Southern hemisphere seasons apply, so the summer months for a clear sky run from December to February.
The tower and the deck are different heights, and the two get mixed up. The building is 300 m to its architectural top, while Wikipedia puts the top floor at 261 m, which is roughly 856 feet.

Sky Costanera Observation Deck Tickets
If you only want the view, this is where I’d start. The Sky Costanera Observatory admission ticket from Travel Argentina is a plain entry ticket: it covers the observation deck and nothing else, though the listing also mentions hotel pickup and drop-off, so read the option you pick. It is the most reviewed of the options I found, at 4.4 stars from 285 reviews, and free cancellation runs until 24 hours before.
The listing says the high-speed elevators reach the top in about a minute, and that the platform gives a 360 degree view of the city and the Andes. The meeting point is the base floor of the mall. One reviewer wrote that the ticket did not work at first and that the provider fixed it quickly, which is why I’d book a few days ahead and not on the morning of the visit.
The cheapest way into the building is a tour, not a ticket. The Sky Costanera, MUT and Sanhattan district tour from Unplanned Detours costs $39 and lasts 2.5 to 3 hours. It is a walking tour of Las Condes and the financial district nicknamed Sanhattan, with a stop at the Mercado Urbano Tobalaba market, and the listing says admission to the Sky Costanera 360 observatory is included if you select that option. That condition matters: the $39 is the price of the tour, so compare the total after you add the deck.
The guide is certified and the tour is offered in English, Portuguese and Spanish. It meets outside exit B of the Escuela Militar metro station. Only 9 reviewers have rated it, all with five stars, so the sample is small, but the snippets praise the guides by name. If you want context on the neighbourhood around the tower, these Sky Costanera tickets give you more for the money than the plain entry, though not a higher view.

My pick: The lowest price I found: a $39 walking tour of Las Condes that ends at the deck; 5 stars from only 9 reviews, and deck entry is an option to select.
Prices are the lowest per-person prices on GetYourGuide when I last checked; the final price depends on the date, time slot and age.
Is Sky Worth It
My answer depends on the weather and on how you travel, and it changes which Sky Costanera tickets I’d buy. The deck has a Google Maps rating of 4.7 from 27,836 reviews, and the reviewer snippet I quoted above is typical of the praise for the mountains. For a private visit, Rosotravel sells a 2 to 3 hour tour with skip-the-line tickets at $147.24. A licensed guide meets you at the NH Collection Plaza hotel on Av Vitacura, goes to the entrance with you and points out Plaza de Armas, La Moneda Palace and San Cristobal from above.
The price is about two and a half times the standard ticket, and you pay for the guide and the private transport, not a higher deck. The listing says the number of services depends on the selected option, with round-trip transport in the 2 hour and 3 hour options. It has no ratings yet, so I can’t tell you how guests found it. For a couple or a family that wants someone to explain what they are looking at, I think it is worth it. For everyone else I’d say the plain ticket gives you the same view.

My pick: A private guided visit at $147.24 with skip-the-line tickets and 2 to 3 hours; no ratings yet, so I'd read the option details before booking.
The observatory is one stop in this combo, and Sky Costanera tickets bought this way cost more than the plain entry.
If you want more than one viewpoint in a day, the Santiago from Above tour from Somos Tour Chile is the only combo I found. It costs $120, takes 4 hours and includes a funicular ticket, a cable car ticket, a Sky Costanera ticket and lunch, per the listing. The route goes up Cerro San Cristobal by cable car, comes down by funicular through Bellavista and ends at the observatory.
The listing is in Spanish and Portuguese, offers three pickup and drop-off options, and warns that it is not suited to people with altitude sickness. It has no rating yet. Cerro San Cristobal is 2.6 km from the tower and rated 4.8 on Google Maps, so the two viewpoints give you a low and a high look at the same valley. This is my pick for a traveller with one day who would otherwise pay for each ticket separately.

I found no product called a skybox ticket for this deck, and the word usually belongs to stadiums. The closest thing to a premium Sky Costanera ticket in my data is a private one. Rosotravel sells a 5 hour private car tour of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights and the deck at $314.71, with a licensed guide, skip-the-line tickets, museum admission and pickup and drop-off at your accommodation.
It is the most expensive of the Sky Costanera tickets, and the most different: the museum visit comes first, then a drive toward Providencia and the deck. The listing says the guide explains the social and political context of Chile’s recent history, so this is a day for people who want that story, not only a view. It has no ratings yet, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

Timing a sunset visit is the best use of Sky Costanera tickets, in my view, so it gets its own section.
The sunset at the deck runs from 17:41 in June to 20:55 in January, according to Open-Meteo for 2025. In the December to February summer the sun sets after 20:30, so a sunset slot means a late dinner. In winter it sets before 18:00, which makes the deck easy to combine with an afternoon.
I haven’t found a sunset-only ticket for Sky Costanera tickets, so the standard ticket is the one I’d book for a late slot. With the deck open until 10 PM per Google Maps, you can stay for the lights after dark. The planner in the next section gives an entry time for your date.
Sky Tower Observation Deck Hours
The hours decide when your Sky Costanera tickets can be used.
Google Maps lists the deck as open every day from 10 AM to 10 PM, so a morning slot and a night slot both exist. The mall below it is open 10 AM to 8:30 PM from Monday to Friday and later at weekends, also per Google Maps, which matters because the entrance is on the base floor of the mall.
I don’t have a last-entry time, a holiday calendar or a price at the door, so I can’t say how long before 10 PM you can still go up. When you pick one of these Sky Costanera tickets, check the time slot, because the deck’s own opening hours may differ on public holidays.
Sky Tower Observation Deck Height
People search for this before they buy Sky Costanera tickets, so here are the numbers.
Wikipedia gives the tower a height of 300 m, which makes it the tallest building in South America and the second tallest in Latin America, behind T.Op Torre 1 in Mexico. It has 62 floors above ground in the infobox, though the article’s text says 64, and the deck is on floors 61 and 62. The top floor is at 261 m, and the tower was completed in 2013.
Use 261 m as the height of the deck when you compare it with other decks, and 300 m for the building. The architects were Alemparte Barreda and Associates, Pelli Clarke Pelli and Watt International. Anyone who books Sky Costanera tickets for the height should know that the glass of the viewing floors is as high as most of this tower gets.
Is Sky Any Good
Before you commit to Sky Costanera tickets, look at the reviews.
The numbers say yes. On Google Maps the deck holds 4.7 from 27,836 reviews, and the standard ticket on GetYourGuide has 4.4 from 285. The weak point I saw is the ticket handling, not the view: one reviewer’s ticket failed at first. I’d keep your confirmation handy and arrive early.
Is Sky Reliable
Reliability is about booking, so I looked at how Sky Costanera tickets are cancelled.
For the deck itself I have no closure data, and I won’t invent any. The listings give free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead for four of the five products, and the fifth, the museum tour, allows a full refund if you cancel 24 hours before. A flexible booking is the practical answer to a cloudy forecast.
Best Time to Visit Sky Costanera
The weather decides how good your Sky Costanera tickets turn out, and the Andes are the reason. Open-Meteo data for 2025 at the tower shows the lowest average cloud cover in January, February and March, each at 13 percent. August is the cloudiest at 64 percent and also has the most rainy days, 8. The summer months from December to February have 12.6 to 13.6 hours of sunshine a day, and winter drops to 7.5.
I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset. That gives you daylight for the first photos, the colour change on the mountains, and the lit city afterwards. October, the month I’m writing in, averaged 39 percent, so a clear day is likely but not certain. If you have flexibility, book a refundable ticket and decide the day before, using the forecast.
What You Can See From Sky Costanera
The Andes are the main event on a clear day, and they are why Sky Costanera tickets sell. The calculator below uses the 261 m top floor figure from Wikipedia and shows how far the horizon is.

The viewpoints around Cerro San Cristobal are lower, so you see the city from the side, while the tower looks down on all of it. Entel Tower is closed on Saturday and Sunday per Google Maps, which makes the Sky Costanera tickets the easier plan for a weekend. None of the others is on this site yet, and none has Sky Costanera tickets to compare.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sky Costanera worth it?+
I think so if you want the Andes and the whole basin of Santiago in one look. The standard ticket is $59 and is rated 4.4 from 285 reviews on GetYourGuide, and Google Maps gives the deck 4.7 from 27,836 reviews. Pick a clear day, because cloud cover is the one thing that can spoil the view.
How much does Sky Costanera cost?+
The standard Sky Costanera Observatory admission ticket is $59 on GetYourGuide. A walking tour of Las Condes lists admission as an option from $39. A private tour with skip-the-line tickets is $147.24, a cable car and funicular combo with lunch is $120, and a five-hour private museum and deck tour is $314.71. Prices are in US dollars.
How tall is Sky Costanera?+
The deck sits on floors 61 and 62 of Gran Torre Santiago, which is 300 m tall according to Wikipedia. The article puts the top floor at 261 m, and I use that figure for the deck's own height. Wikipedia does not give a separate metre figure for the deck, so treat 261 m as the top of the usable tower.
What is the tallest building in Chile?+
Gran Torre Santiago, the tower that holds Sky Costanera, is the tallest building in Chile. Wikipedia lists it at 300 m and calls it the tallest building in South America. It was completed in 2013, and the observation deck opened to the public on 11 August 2015.
What are the Sky Costanera opening hours?+
Google Maps lists Sky Costanera as open from 10 AM to 10 PM every day of the week. I don't have a last-entry time or holiday hours in my data, so check the official site for the date you plan to go, especially around public holidays and on windy or very cloudy days.
What is the best time to go to Sky Costanera?+
The clearest months are January, February and March, each with 13 percent average cloud cover in Open-Meteo data for 2025. August is the cloudiest at 64 percent. I'd arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset, which falls between 17:41 in June and 20:55 in January.
Is there a cheaper way to see Santiago from above?+
Yes, if you accept a lower view. Cerro San Cristobal is rated 4.8 on Google Maps from 10,815 reviews and is about 2.6 km from the tower. I don't have a price for its cable car, so check that locally. The deck is far higher, and it is the one that shows the whole city at once.
