Surrounded by mountains – the mighty Andes to the east and the smaller coastal range to the west – on a clear day, Santiago boasts one of the most stunning city scenes in the world. Old-world colonial mansions and eclectic neighbourhoods blend seamlessly with the skyscrapers of “Sanhattan” in a captivating fusion of tradition and modernity. On this tour, you’ll explore and walk along the city’s main avenue, learning about its history and that of its surroundings. Then, you’ll head down to the cobblestone neighbourhood of Lastarría, a sector characterised by its green spaces and beautiful 19th-century houses, now restored and mostly used as cafés, restaurants, bookshops and museums. Next, you’ll head to Cerro Santa Lucía where you’ll have time to walk and take photos, while your guide tells you about some of the most important episodes in Santiago’s history, such as the Mapuche/Spanish conflict. From its terraces, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Santiago, as well as admire relics and buildings from the colonial era, such as the Hidalgo Castle. During the tour, you can admire emblematic places of the city, such as the Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral of Santiago and its impressive architecture, as well as the former national congress, the imposing government house called “La Moneda” and, next to it, the Plaza de la Constitución. The tour will continue with a stop at the Mercado Central, one of the most characteristic gastronomic spots in Santiago, before continuing to the upper part of the capital.
