La capital de Chile se llama «Santiago,» así, a secas. No «Santiago de Chile». Saludos
Buenas Marcelo, hay docenas de ciudades con el nombre «Santiago» en Latinoamérica o que inician así. Por ende, para ejemplificar ese nombre «a secas» debemos aclarar bien de que país proviene, para no generar mayores confusiones.
