Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city, is home to half of Chile’s population. On this walking tour you will see all the important sites and landmarks! We begin the tour at your hotel and first bring you to the top of San Cristobal Hill by cable car. From here you will have a panoramic view of the entire city where your guide will describe the city’s geography and point out the sites to be seen during the tour. We will descend the hill by an open-air funicular that will bring you right into the colorful Bellavista neighborhood with streets lined with lively cafes. From there we head to the historic city center, stopping at the Museum of Fine Arts, Central Market, and Plaza de Armas, Santiago’s main square. At the plaza, you will see the Cathedral, City Hall, Historic Post Office, and Monument to Chile’s Indigenous People. We then pass by the Old Congress Building and Supreme Court and continue onward to Palacio La Moneda (The Government House), Santiago Stock Exchange district, and the Municipal Theater. We will take you to the top of Santa Lucia Hill, an oasis in the center of the city. Originally named Huelén Hill by the Mapuche Indians, this is where Pedro de Valdivia founded the city in 1541. Afterwards, we will also stop by a handicraft market for souvenir shopping. At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to your hotel using the city’s modern Metro system for a real local experience.
