Santiago City Tour

You will visit the most important historical sites of Santiago including the downtown area surrounding the Plaza de Armas and the Presidential Palace. You will also pass by the Mercado Central, one of Chile’s largest fresh seafood markets and take a stroll by the many bustling stalls to see the tremendous variety available from Chile’s bountiful sea. You will visit some of the lesser known barrios of Santiago including, Republica and Concha y Toro. Initially constituting the outskirts of the city, the capital’s constant growth transformed the area into a privileged neighborhood and home to Santiago’s high society. There will be time to walk around and take photos of the many styles of architecture dating back to the 19th and early 20th century. Continuing through the eclectic Lastarria neighborhood, you will walk through the Parque Forestal, passing by the Bellas Artes Museum. For a scenic view of the city, you will visit the top of San Cristobal Hill, 984 feet above the city. During the tour you will have the opportunity to visit the La Chascona Museum, the former home of Pablo Neruda, Chile’s most famous poet and Nobel laureate. (Museum closed on Mondays)
